It was customary to walk down the street and see kids smashing up phone boxes. I kept myself to myself and was okay.
Manchester is such a grim place though and there is that undertow of menace always boiling under the surface. Things can kick of over nothing, very easily. I don't have any good advice really, but I'm sorry to hear that you are having an unlucky run of things. The UK has a large underclass of savages and they really bring the tone down for those who just want to live their lives peacefully.
