Actually, without wishing to classist, it is the poorer area where kids can
still be found playing on the street, middle class parents taxi their kids
around from one safe environment to another. This is a recent thing, when I was
young (I'm 31) kids still played out on bikes, made dens and explored however
the increase in traffic (parents driving their kids around!) and perceived
increase in child molesters etc has made this very much a thing of the past.
