Re: Big Towns & Cities
No Mups your not being silly, this is everywhere you go now. I haven't ventured into my town for years, i must admit i hate it now. Everything has been knocked out of it, in the 70's it was a busy town, people used to smile and talk to each other, but now it's just people going about their business and gang's of youths and foreign people roaming the streets. You feel intimidated by this. The shops look shabby and cheap, it's all just terrible.Re: Big Towns & Cities
Yes, it can be most unpleasant can't it Sue. There were also foreigners standing about asking people for money as well. They weren't busking or doing anything to try and earn a few bob, just plain asking for money.Re: Big Towns & Cities

Yes, I've noticed a decline over the past few years, but I think the rot started in the 1960s when most town centres were destroyed to build a shopping centreRe: Big Towns & Cities
Living and growing up in a place like London hardens you up to this. I have people saying to me, should you travel on the underground late at night (if going out for example) but I reply, well, I've done it all my life and don't feel threatened or unsafe, but can understand it when others are unsure.
