Originally posted by sasguruInteresting point AJP. I can say the same about London, and I've been in Camden, Holloway, Brixton, Tower Hamlets alone late at night. I have this theory that those who are afraid give off subtle signals that indicate they are potential victims.
Obviously cool and sophisticated urbanites like us are immune
Then again the english guy mentioned above keeps telling me how much safer it is here compared to London...???
My original question though, is why the 80,000 people march in Belgium?Last edited by Joe Black; 24 April 2006, 16:49.Comment

IMO I found the people in the centre to be friendly, I heard about someone I worked with got mugged in the grand place one morning about 4AM but that's it.Comment

I think you missed my original point Fleety, the comparison between an 80,000 march in Belgium when the above happens and yet when someone gets knifed on a bus in London for asking a guy to stop throwing his chips around the place, the most you'll see is a few bouquets and messages of condolence.Comment
