Flipping heck, I wish I've never posted on this thread now, talk about a bee in your bonnet.Conceited ?! - you basically said a post of mine was such nonsense that couldn't read it all, but reading your post it was clear you had read it all, so I made a joke about that rather than taking offence, so you come back to me with another insult.Maybe (again to be nice rather than to take offence) it's because I have a rather dry sense of humour, reflected in the opening line of my first post on this thread when I joked about it wasn't safe to step outside.And what you've actually disregarded is I never once claimed that "all areas experience similar crime levels" what I said, word for word, was "I don't think it's so bad or anymore dangerous than most parts of London."To be pedantic, I made it clear that was my perception of this specific area based on my experience of it, and the time I spent in other parts of London, both through residing in other areas and the fact my work takes me all over London and the South East. Whether I perceive an area is so bad or dangerous is a million miles away from a purported claim that "all areas experience similar crime levels" - a coastline can look calm and inviting on a beautiful summers day, or menacing and threatening in a Force 9 gale, same coastline, different day.It's all about perception, and as I've repeatedly tried to nicely say and to actually give more weight to your posts, my perception is based on a couple of walks or drives along this part of Brentford each week, whereas you clearly have direct day and night experience of what goes on.So quite frankly I really don't know what your problem with me on this particular issue is, or why you should have one - don't go off on one about honesty based on something that the person hasn't claimed, and recognise when someone is actually bowing to your direct awareness than his perception.Abit of humility and respect goes a long way...
