I was disgusted by the way the people who wrote the script denegrated Walker. Many people in Walker work, live in nice houses and teach their children not to swear. I admit that lasses are becoming as potty mouthed as Geordie guys
but to insinuate that the whole of Walker is a crime ridden area that is unsafe to walk around or live is just a big fat lie !!
