John, seeing those programmes on UK TV on the problems in every large city in England, juvenille crime, rampant drug culture I am thankful to be living here. certainly the young thugs here are a match for any of their counterparts across the dub, but thankfully they are not as numerous.
I am in touch with friends in a couple of those cities and they do not venture out late at night, espically on weekends, I am sure most British catters will agree.
