Nope. I had 12 scouse lads on me like a year ago. f**king horrible. Got punched a couple of times and taken hostage. also has a smashed bottle held against my throat. That f**ked me up abit. didnt go out for like a month after that incase i saw em again, then i did see them abit later all bruised up. Found out some mates of mine went round their flat with bats and an air rifle and did em in. Going up against a gang with a bat is stupid though, especially if one grabs it and turns it on you. if using weapons, atleast learn how to use it and know what to do if it is grabbed. end of story.
