Danger Mouse

I live on Orkney off the North coast of Scotland. It is a beautiful island and very peaceful. However, I must say, although the crime rate is VERY low here, the main offences are drink related. So it would seem that no matter where you live, atisocial behaviour is rife!

I live in Kilkenny in the South East of Ireland. Its a nice place actually, lots of medieval history, lots of cultural things going on like arts and theatre and music. Good pubs and clubby places too. Theres only one street really in the town( or city, it has two cathedrals so some people say its a city!) called Johns Street which gets a bit violent at night but other that that its pretty safe. The weather is good in the summer too, its the warmest place usually in Ireland during the summer when theres good weather, it gets pretty hot! Theres lots of nice countryside around it as well, good oportunites to go mountain walking or whatever. Also its only two hours from Dublin in a car so you can go visit there too! Theres a good mix of people in Kilkenny too actually, lots of young people (theres at least 6 secondary schools and about 7 primary schools) lots of older people, quite a lot of foreign people now too which is good. Shopping is ok, theyre gradually getting more trendy shops, theres a new shopping centre opening soon. Basically it is a nice place to live, I've been there nine years and I love it! :o)

Unhinged....

I live on the Wirral, by Liverpool and feel exactly the same as you, i dont like going out because of all the fights and that. though the actual village i live in is great, its just full of young babies or old grannys its quite quiet.

I live in Glasgow Scotland,and I love it here,the scenery in Scotland is breath taking in the summer, it can also be very nice in winter,when it snows,also the people are very friendly.

I live in Wakefield,West Yorkshire, I like living here,the town centre nightlife used to have a bad reputation but unless you get the odd idiot that's had too much to drink it's a great night out, there doesn't seem to be as much police presence and they now have wardens and they seem to keep things under control if there is any trouble. The area has been rejuvenated in the last few years and has changed for the better.

I live in south wales (Llanelli) and i think its fantastic there isnt that much anti social behaviour here and there are some great beaches and i can see the sea from my house and just outside the town centre but next to this park. I love it here.

i live on the southwest coast of scotland in a small place called stranraer.we have very little trouble here as the police are always about due to having the ferry here that crosses to ireland.

Roughly 5 miles South of Bradford and we have a similar problem even though the place is full of CCTV's. I would be in warmer climes if the lotto came up as are 160,000 other Brits are doing each year.

I live in Kilmarnock. It is a good place to be. 15 miles from the coast. 20 miles from Glasgow and all it has to offer and just over an hour to get to Edinburgh or England if you drive fast enough! There is an undesirable bunch of folks most places so I figure I am as well being here as anywhere.

I'm in Newcastle on Tyne a great place has it's share of idiots just like anywhere else but it's generally pretty cool.

I live on the north sea coast of Angus in Scotland, near Dundee. There is violence all over the UK. The alcohol fuelled behaviour you witness in your town centre is mirrored in every other town centre. We are home birds, now in our 50's.In my youth the behaviour was not so extreme. I have lived all over the UK and I think the scenes we see of current youth are the worst ever.

I live in Shropshire.Its lovely as its countryside but not too far away from a couple of town centres.

horny*as*hell

Who Yah

I live on a tiny island which is the most easterly, inhabited island in the British Isles. Don't let the fact that it is part of Essex put you off. I love it here.

I live in the Prestwich/Heaton Park area of Manchester (halfway between M/C & Bury),it's a really nice,quiet area.Very friendly,some nice coffee shops,bars,shops etc...a nice little suburb,takes about 15 mins to get into City Centre Manchester,has bus & Tram stations. The 2nd biggest municipal park in Europe as well as 2 other parks. Good schools,etc...low crime rate. It's a cool place to lead a surburban life!!

I live in Sheffield, and as in most cities, parts of it have some serious problems. But I love it, I don't worry about being out at night, can get home without fear or dread, its vibrant and it has the peak district right on my doorstep. Its often described as the biggest village in England, and rightly so in my mind.

Sunderland; I like living here but then, I'm a born and bred Mackem. We're a very proud bunch. We have just about everything. The sea, the countryside, shopping, good sports facilities, a few castles, abbeys (within the borough, not neccessarily the city) a Greek style monument, the river. Just about anything you're interested in, we've got.
