[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] To be fair, I do occasionally leave my house to do talk to people in a social capacity, and haven't got time to spend hours at the local library looking up stats to argue with a bunch of fanatics who live in another continent. (First has an excuse, because he works in a library, and is quite obviously out of his tree [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] ). Still, after having spent another fun month in a temp job up London, I will put my vote in with the "mayo and any meat" catagory of bap. But mainly turkey and chicken. Although it's quite nice with sossy and bacon. Gee, us brits have boring sandwiches, don't we. And as a final point in the debate, ignoring stats (DON'T!), First's comment of "and they feel safe?" probably sticks out most. We do. Not in a "we leave our doors open and neighbours pop in for tea all the time" kind of way, but just comparing it to the impression I get from US TV, newspapers, and general talking to people, we either have a safer country, or a safer feeling country. Or maybe I'm just big and scary. Still, A guy in our office got mugged last Saturday. In quite a rough area of London. Now that was bad and all. But after taking a quick straw-poll of the 10 people in our office, most girls aged 20-35, we found that the total number of muggings we'd all received was...one. I'd be curious to see how many of the US forum-goers had seen acts of violence or experienced them. The fact that a fair number of you have screwed-up parents is already a depressing sign. (That was all over the place, wasn't it? Sorry.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
