Had family move to Bradford in the 70s and the stories I hear from back then compared to today are insane. One family member had someone pull a gun on them telling them they were trespassing on their own property. 'I've never seen you before, so you either leave or get shot' kind of stuff. They didn't even get arrested when the cops showed up, it was 'oh thats <soandso> and he's a bit protective of his hunting spots. I'll tell him to cool it'. It's a lot better now, but compared to most areas still stuck in the past.

My dad's family used to tell people "You best not stay here, your car battery won't last the winter" and it took me a very long time to understand that was a threat, not friendly advice.
