By the way, I think you're completely missing my point by jumping in ****** in hand as usual. Musselburgh and Tranent both have bad areas. Both also have decent areas. Both have a fair number of wankers, both have lots of decent people. Friends of my, both nice, decent people wouldn't be moving to Tranent if it was all a shithole and all the people were jakes. Just like people who aren't from Musselburgh wouldn't move there if what you're saying about it is true. Every decent sized town in Scotland has good and bad areas.

But both said jakeballs decided to move from Niddrie and Musselburgh to Costa Del Tranent? Somewhere more suitable for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johanes de Silentio Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Musselburgh, like any reasonably big town has very nice areas and complete shitholes, and naturally, some very nice people and some absolute scumbags. However there are far worse places. Tranent, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It was a laugh. Lighten up FFS. Everywhere has nice areas. No they don't. Where's the nice areas of Pollok, Ferguslie Park, Drumchapel, Easterhouse or Parkhead ? Lumping Musselburgh with those area could be seen by some as insulting - or maybe just trolling for laughs . I'll lighten up and accept it's the later. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially going by ratios of violence compared with population. Which is the only fair way to do it. Maybe Musselburgh does have more violent incidents, but Musselburgh has about 3 x the number of people than Tranent.

Which is the only fair way to do it. Maybe Musselburgh does have more violent incidents, but Musselburgh has about 3 x the number of people than Tranent. The last violent incident in Tranent was when a guy who's wee cronies had been terrorising Tranent for years was battered for strolling into a pub shouting "Where's aw the fenians (catholics) I'll fight any fenian *******s in here!" He was swiftly battered up and down the place and lost part of his ear. Before that there was the chippy murder, then the Guy from niddrie was murdered by other folk from Niddrie in the new council flats. It became far more frequent when said houses and flats were built and the folk who reside in them moved in. Meanwhile in Musselburgh there's been 2 mass brawls in recent memory, umpteen stabbings, a guy getting his head panned in with a beerkeg, glassings etc. There's trouble outside a Musselburgh boozee nearon every weekend.

bighusref Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Got a few mates that live in Musselburgh and had a fair bit drinking time there. Whilst I get why some folk don't like it, I've always found that if you go to the right pubs, you can have a good night with zero issues. I've never drank in Tranent but know enough about the place to know that I don't want to. I have drank in the 'Pans on occasion, and it ain't a nice place, either.

Bert Le Clos Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Bunter, I accept Musselburgh has had and does have a large number of violent incidents. I never denied that. What I was denying, was that Musselburgh in it's entirity is a shithole. You've mentioned 2 areas which I agree are dodgy. I've named 7 or 8 other areas which are extremely nice areas. The pubs are on the High Street, hence where any violence is going to take place. Just like the majority of violent incidents will take place in the centre of Edinburgh; does that mean Stockbridge is some sort of ghetto? Tranent is every bit as bad as Musselburgh. We could post stories from papers about murders and violence in Musselburgh and Tranent all night, but claiming there's only been 3 violent incidents in Tranent in recent history is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard, and you know it. And claiming one of the murders doesn't count because it was a guy from Niddrie murdered by other guys from Niddrie is just laughable. You forgot to mention that the guy who bit off the boy's ear, regardless of how much he deserved it, then proceded to pick it up and eat it. Or the guy who was robbed in broad daylight at knife-point out walking his dog, or the policeman who had a brick thrown at his head when he turned up at a park to deal with a matress that had been set on fire. But I know that doesn't mean that the whole of Tranent is a shithole, in the same way that all of Musselburgh isn't just because of a barny on the High Street.

Johanes de Silentio Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Yes, Dalkeith you reside isn't it? Yes - and it's as much a shitehole as anywhere - especially, when you count Woodburn, Easthouses, and Mayfield. Still, while there are probably more arseholes per head in Dalkeith, (including the districts mentioned above) there is considerably less in-breeding here than in the likes of Tranent, Prestonpans, and (yes) Newtongrange. For the record, I think that Musselburgh is a fine place for the most part, and is populated mainly by decent folk. Best avoided on a Saturday night, though.
