Eeeeenteresting. Clearly, my perceptions are derived from my bubble. I think you are right about how it depends on who it happens to--even within my bubble!
Also, in my head, ny tenements are inhabited by plucky 13-year-old girls who live in poverty with supportive families and have Challenges and Adventures. And if they don't have supportive families then they have a really nice plump neighbour lady who helps them out. Either that or they are inhabited by 18-year-old folksingers. Ahaha the brain of a bookworm: not always connected to reality.
I am going to be really disappointed if I ever visit england, because it is probably not filled with roving bands of adventurous children and farmhouses full of nice farmer's wives who feed you lots of cakes and cream. Probably also there are not actually that many hedgerows or carriages.
