In the UK? Have you been to Yorkshire?

[dazc]

I am from Yorkshire. Take the point though.

[coldtea]

Heh, didn't know it, no offence meant.

Was mostly referring to all the urban poor, crime, domestic violence etc that goes on in large parts of the UK.

[OwlsParliament]

Well, those are ways of keeping yourself busy.

[dazc]

There are certainly area of the UK where this is true, but not all. I guess it can seem that way because we have dense areas of population where the good and bad parts are so close together?

[coldtea]

That's part of the reason I guess (density).

Is it really like that or is that the message you get from the media?
