London

It's 'That London', to northerners.

**** you.... ]:)

What you bogging at? You want some?

It's t'london

All strangers are needy weirdos imo.

trouble with london is there are too many tourists. People have to rush around in London and we can't be doing with fkin tourists standing in groups in the middle of the pavement looking at big ben, or northerners gawping at the amazing "moving stairs" in tube stations, no wonder Londoners are so rude to them - they deserve it.

People have to rush around in London

Why ?

Buy buy buy, sell sell sell. We're all ducking and diviing, a little bit wuuurrrr, alittle bit sshhh vshhh swwwsh. We're geezers trying to make money. No time for outsiders.

Cheers for doing the scoring last night btw. good work.

Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway

Honestly though, I was always rushing around so I get more time at work (more money) or more time at the pub/home (to relax). It is not much more complicated than that I suppose.

To offset the dullness

No probs rob, kept me up a bit later than I wanted though !

p.s. I always stand to the left on escalators.

snorted tea up my nose at that one :^0

London could be great, with the facilities, architecture, shops, etc.

trouble is it`s a soulless dump,

people there are strange, many incapable of being friendly or curteous to strangers

so instead head north where people pretend to be nice to you so they can rob you or con you or generally fk you over!

London can be one of the most depressing places in the world imo

Enjoyed paying £4.20 for a flat pint served by a sarcastic Aussie. London's full of surprises. :D

cesspit.

London's a cracking place imo.

if i wanted to see what islamabad was like,i would go to pakistan.

thanks for that leazes.

Ealing is alright...

no probs 4th street.

Name me any other city where you can sustain a crack habit selling tickets outside the Tube. I didn't think so. :D

St John's Wood is delightful. Hyde Park or Regents Park on a summer weekend is delightful - still loads of room to yourself despite all thepeople and semi-organised games of football, rugby, aussi rules, baseball, cricket etc etc

Lord's, Westminster, Buck Palace, Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge, Wembley, Theatre district etc etc.

One of the greatest cities in the world,there is no doubt.

Hyde Park?
Londoners have no concept of countryside and open spaces.

Hyde Park is just a park, but a bit bigger

well you can't exactly get the lake district and chuck it on top of mayfair can you ffs.

Tokyo hardly has any green space in comparison.

You paint a lovely picture, but somewhat twee. Perhaps you should work for London 2012. Thats all very nice, but it doesn't make up for much when you live in a block of flats full of Somalians who have stained the pavement red with their spittle.

I imagine that's why it's called Hyde Park and not Hyde countryside.

as a british born person, you should not have to live in a flat with a bunch of somalians. The opportunities and money that has been spent on you should've allowed to to go on to better things.

and from a perspective of a professional worker, London is a fantastic place

I don't live with Somalians. I live in Surrey.

I wasn't talking about you. All the people that whine about having to live in a tower block with immigrants have not taken advantage of what they were offered as nationals of this country.

to keep it simple, I would rather that my taxes went to try and help people that were not given an oportunity in life than people that have taken all their lives without giving anything back

Yes but my point is the image of Londoners playing games in the park, visiting museums and admiring famous buildings is
very different form the reality experienced by most Londoners

Worst city in the world, Somalia IS safer. Enough said.

Mogadishu has fantastic restasurants, and pattiseries to die for.

you must have a very different image of London from Surrey, than me from the outskirts of Hackney

Exactly.

Also have a good few resorts on the coast with lovely people.

londoners are a lot friendlier than their countryside counterparts .

come up to east anglia and youll find people very rude and insular

Greenwich, Blackheath, Beckenham, Selhurst Park, many great places in Sarf London as well.

It is a different place working to relaxing. I couldnt work in tahn, too many people, too smely, transport appalling, no parking. Yet, its a great place for an evening out. In my view.

:^0 rob

London is just too cosmopitan now for it's inhabitants to show any hospitality or even common courtesies, been there a few times and always been astouded by the pure ignorance of the majority of it's inhabitants.

pure ignorance of the majority of it's inhabitants

Good stuff.

:D shen knows ;)

If you were friendly to strangers you'd be doing nothing else all day, there are a lot of them. It's not like Haltwhistle where everyone knows each other already and take it in turns to be the village idiot.

The view from Richmond Hill is fantastic. Dulwich Village is a little oasis and Blackheath is a good place to live as well. London is not all bad news although admittedly some places are best avoided but no different to any big city.

I've been a visitor to London from my very early years (relatives living there) and can honestly say, I've always loved the place - but the pace is far faster than anywhere else I've been to in this country.
Which has always come as an unpleasant surprise, whenever I've been there, but I just take no notice.

And what are people comparing London too?

Virtually every city in the entire world, almost without exception has rough areas.

Green Space, Size, Standing in the world, Sporting Stadia, Buildngs of historical interest, Museums, Theatres, etc

We must score highly in all of the above categories. Other cities will score more highly on various categories, but few would beat London overall.

to be fair most major worldwide cities do beat London on most things.
if you've travelled a little youd know that

7 miles from the sntre of the city the 1 bedroom flats start at £155,000 which means that you have to earn about twice the average wage to get a mortgage. This of course is after going to the local comp where English is likely to be the 3rd or 4th most spoken language at home.

8 million people all living on top of each other in a just a few square miles.

London must be the friendliest place on earth...
