One whacked out and confused bird

This is one that continuously bleats on about unsubscribing to her own threads when they turn to shite and announces her departures but then blow me, she's back posting her high and mightiness on a new or other thread!!!! Leaving BE? I very much doubt it!!

Funny that, I'm 37 and I always was told to keep the doors locked, in fact my dad is 72 and he doesn't remember a time when no one had to lock their front doors, I'm beginning to wonder when this mythical time was.

Maybe they didn't have anything worth stealing

Ooohhh sorry I guess that was mean.

Jules Europe

Pre Boer-War I imagine.

Heljinder

I hope so. She's one heck of a character, and great fun!

Hmm providing you're sat there on the sidelines watching the spectacle with glee.....however, it's not when Miss Whiplash-Tongue aims it at you, then it's a different kettle of fish

Mummy in the foothills

I'm older than you and lived in an area so safe that I could play out alone after school from age 4, and Mum was a t work in the village shop, I could cross roads and go to the park with my friends, we still locked the house up and so did all my friends families.
That didn't stop us getting burgled twice as a teen, even though it had/has lower than average crime rates. I'm sure it's a myth or from the 1800's or earlier.

Fun?

She's as funny as a wasp in your knickers

I often forget to lock a door - and regularly leave my car unlocked. Plus, my children play out safely in the street, go to a fabulous village school with class size of 15 pupils, we have no crime here and I still have yet to come across one of these mythical 'yobs' that people talk about. And we live half an hour from central London.

Frankly, I don't recognise the UK that people are constantly running down and neither does anybody else I know.

jmh

Yeah me too. Nice part of the world over that way. I'm more Surrey way which is pretty good too.

Jules Europe

Because when you live in an up-market area you are not going to see these things, all very obvious really

Surrey's lovely. I'm sure that there are many areas of the UK where crime is rife, yobs and graffiti are everywhere, education is atrocious, etc, etc, but it annoys me when people seem to think it's everywhere in the UK when there are actually many safe and lovely areas left.
