I am from Yorkshire. Take the point though.

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.

Well, those are ways of keeping yourself busy.

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?

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

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