I come from a fairly rural back ground, although towns a cities have ventured into my life from time to time, and I am sure it was not as it is now, some 70,60,50, 40 even 30 years ago. Certain places in the major cities of the UK had grim reputations, but usually a nod, a raise of the hat, a touch on the brim even, or a smile from passing strangers was commonplace then. It still is in the Highlands amongst the older locals.
Good distinction. I think small places are more human than big cities in most countries......
