Re: Where you live.
I once lived in the heart of Liverpool - as a kid would walk downhill to the Pierhead - the city was very safe then - could catch a tram and for one penny be in the country side in 20 mins picking blackberries!
then moved to a small village in cheshire for my teen years - seemed to be a bit boring but safe and friendly and plenty of girls - a couple nearly caught me!
then hampshire to a smallish town with the largest quantity of pubs in the county - continued my final teen years and got married - good life until the late seventies when the schools started getting a bit violent
took off for Hong Kong - what a city but very safe and had a ball
back to UK for a while and all seemed reasonable and nearly stayed but the travel bug had caught us and OZ beckoned - lived on the outskirts of a state city - safe and friendly and finally to the top end the Kimberleys and now live in a forest on 8 acres with a town 3 mins away with two supermarkets - one chemist that isn't open on a sunday - half the popn is Aboriginal and very friendly - the sunsets are magic and the mornings a cool 22C! with nice desert breezes. Son lives 200kms down the road which can be reached in 2 hrs if you can successfully avoid the kangas and the cows!
