It obviously does.



I know it is not small, I live here.


Then you are not in a position to make a comparison.

Just so. A terminal small-timer, incapable of being trusted by those
of more responsibility in the various crime organizations, without the
intelligence or ambition to aspire to, say, teh high-stakes job of
Junior Numbers Runner.

old "Ranger" Magazines.

But it IS a matter of comparison. It is you that does not understand. The
UK is small. You'll have to try harder if you expect to learn anything.
