That is very true.

VERY true.

Yap. I don't go into the city centre on a friday or saturday night because I hate drunks.
Friday night - I'm drinking to that! But these folk aren't about to come along and murder us in our beds.

You're right. They mainly bother each others.

You must have a face for trouble.
Yeh but your boyfriend is really really tough
He is well 'ard.

Happens all the time, you're right to be worried about this to the point of being ready to kill at the pull of a trigger
There's difference between being worried and being prepared. I was a Boy Scout so I am prepared.
No I agree with you. I often carry anti-venomous snake hand grenades around with me, several different types, just in case a venomous snake breaks into my house intent on murder
Judging by the knives, spanners, golf clubs and baseball bats your countrymen keep at their bedsides I'd say they, too, deserve a dose of your oh-so-biting humour.
Hey, don't compare me to this lot, or them to each other, or some of them to men. Generalisation of a nation is dodgy territory.
How stupid must you be to fall for this?
Quote: DaButt @ January 14 2011, 9:25 PM GMTI'll admit that I'd feel slightly less safe in the UK than in the U.S. but that's mostly because I've found myself in potentially violent situations the 3 times I've visited the UK and haven't experienced anything like that here in the last 25 years.
Huh? That must either be bad luck or something to do with you; I can't say I've found myself in a potentially viloent situation since I was at school.

Unlike over there, of course!

I should mention that I was joking about the golf club! I hate golf. If I ever find someone has broken in, I'll just think back to that one boxing class I attended aged eleven and unleash the pain.

I can't imagine what use a golf club would be in a burglar-tackling situation. There'd be no room to get a good swing, unless you asked the intruder to place his head on a tee. Then you'd have to put your plus-fours on and phone your caddy so he could select your 9 iron for you. Too much hassle. I'm starting to see the upside of a shotgun.
