I used to reside in both Heaton and it's Higher companion.
The higher end was no bother yet Heaton i found was full of arseholes, basically a few charvas who'd walked down from the Byker Wall for some fresh air i reckon. Some c*** tried to kick our back door in when we were all at the match.
Steer clear of Balmoral Terrace in Heaton if you can lads, it was feautured on Sky One's Britains Worst Streets, it featured a lad called Criag with a Staffy called Flloyd, biggest tosser i've ever come across, brought shame on the Geordie nation!
