The NYT has been indulging in some serious Brit-bashing of late.
Among their more ludicrous stories is about local citizens stockpiling tins of food in advance of Brexit.
So they had another attempt at stirring the pot by putting out a tweet asking Londoners to recount their experiences of petty crime.
Thousands responded - although not quite in way the NYT expected.
I suppose it makes for a bit of light relief from their relentless Trump-bashing but perhaps they didn't realise that Brits have a dry sense of humour and don't take too kindly to Yanks dissing their place.

I look foward to my regular boiled mutton, poridge, gruel and lard.
Can you send some more land lease money and a red cross parcel.
I had my hand embroidered hankerchief stolen from my pocket the other day by a young blonde boy who I believe was to referred to as Oliver and another boy he called the Artful Dodger, whilst on the way home I also noticed a manwhistling in public, and to make matters worse there was a woman standing on the wrong sideo of the Tube Esculator.
