There is nowhere near as much mindless violence and wilful damage in town centres in America as there is in the UK. I used to live in Southport, nice quiet town, and even drove a taxi late at night as a part time job at one time. Now, I know taxi drivers who tell me the town centre is like a battleground any time after midnight any day of the week but especially, of course, Saturday and Sunday AM.

What you say is not quite true, JW....the battles usually start around 9pm sunday to thursday and from about 7.30pm friday and saturday. Next time you're over, let us know and we'll ensure you get a ringside seat.

The surprising thing about alot of all this nonsense is the extent to which many of these incidents are actually "domestics", i.e. drunken tartlet sees boyfriend eyeing up similar intoxicated slapper and decides to whack boyfriend over head with obligatory Bacardi Breezer bottle.

That is why, in this respect, the US is far more civilised than the old mother country. No airing of dirty linen in public there...simply a case of getting the boyfriend back home & then taking the magnum .44 from out under the bed & blowing his b*llocks off. (If he's lucky).

One thing I do think makes a difference is that the drinking age here in the US is 21 , How the Federal Govt. got away with this I dont know, since the legal age for voting, execution, and military service age is 18 (under 21's can drink on base), but the teenage drink/driving accident rate is a lot lower since the law went nationwide.
