I love the discussions on what is, and what is not typically British!
I live in a university town and don't go near the city centre at night, so never see the drunks, but I hear them coming home, the noise sometimes wakes me up. I am confronted by the 'silent witnesses' when I go out in the morning: vomit, urine, food wrappers, shopping trollies, discarded tiems of clothing, vandalism etc.
I had one picture in my 'Britain' entries that showed a pair of discarded shoes, but also a local Rotary club singing Christmas carols and other positive images. On the whole, I think we get a realisitc 'average' picture of the people of modern day Britain, warts and all.
