tranq tranquerThanks for pointing that out. I wish my parents had purchased an encyclopedia when I was younger. True, but have you asked yourself as to who is turning up the heat ?

Richard PearsonNo I had not heard of that parable ( sic), but I have heard of the experiments on rats where given plenty of space they live happily together. The more they are forced together with less space, the more aggressive they become. Same with humans in cities . Tourists should not need to be taught to be careful in any city.

Sadiq Khan: London mayor says being prepared for terror attacks is “part and parcel' of living in a major city” Zoltan, please explain to us nonconformists. Also, please explain why the current insecurity and rise in crime in, this case Majorca, has been so pronounced over the past 20 years.

Why is this even a story - Palma is a city of over 400,000 people with all the usual problems of any European city. Please name one city of this size in Europe that doesn't have any crime.
