Home is where the heart is. So if you live in London, up north or whereever you're naturally gona extol it's virtues even if it has none.
I live in Warwickshire. I'm so used to the peace, and relatively slow pace of life. So you can understand my dislike for big cities, where ppl have no time for no one, time equals money. It's not just London but the bigger the city the greater the lack of manners, rush, pollution etc. But obviously large cities have their good points too. Lots of jobs, resources, shopping centres, swanky apartments, a diverse population etc etc. I guess it depends on what you like, or what you're used to.
:
I totally agree. Me, I love the fast life, I love the rush, I love trains, huge buildings, coffee shops etc etc
Whenever I visit family in Bolton I'm often bored out of my head...everythings feels SO slow, to me countrysides etc are OK for a short break but I couldnt ever live there.
I find B'ham quite slow too for some reason...although I do like Manchester city it reminds me of London.

Altho, after a day in Manchester, its good to come home to Oldham, and chillaxe for a whizzile, then bck to the city in the good ol' mornin.
I like the city life, but i like the area where i live, cuz its so close to the city, its perfect.
Personally I hate the countryside, it drives me crazy bein there for long. Why would u wna hear the bird churpin in the mornin, its dam annoyin.
As for London, it can b the gayest place on Earth, or the most fun, depends which cousin im with .

[color=magenta]i figured out some reasons why londoners might be moody:
1. Mayor ken introduced the congestion charge so when we wna drive through central london we hav to pay £8 before it was £5 n way before that was free
2. the fares on the trains are ludicrous they keep increasing
3. the introduction of oyster cards means every train/tube or bus journey we make we are getting tracked n if you dont want to get tracked you use a normal ticket but then the price is more expensive than using an oyster card.
all r valid reasons[/color]

i'm always moody cos I'm ALWAYS losing my oyester card
without the card i have to spend 1.50 one way on buses-and i can end up paying 5.50 a day :shock:
and i HATE the traffic of london
other than that
London is the Don
Yesterday I was on a tube from Dollis Hill to meet someone in town. At West Hampstead they announced they were closing the line at the next station, Finchley Road, because of a fire further down the line, but I didn't get off because I could get the Metropolitan Line from Finchley Road. They kept us waiting for ages and only when we got to Finchley Road did they announce the Metropolitan Line is out for scheduled repairs. So from Finchley Road I queued for a bus and on the bus it turned out my Oyster was out of credit. I explained that I was already on a tube journey and as the driver was trying to shout to loads of people who were piling into the bus I had to move along and sit down anyway. Then the bus wasn't moving so I went to speak to the driver and he said it was just because of me. Well, it wasn't, but I politely offered to pay and he said no, it is too late, and I was humiliated. So I called him a damned fool, and I shouldn't have but it is very rare for me to get that angry, paid to get on another bus and arranged to have the meeting somewhere closer, 90 minutes late. I picked up a claims form and there is no space for the nature of the complaint. The only way I could complain is to insist the journey was delayed for reasons within their control, but there is nowhere to explain why. I don't need a refund, I want someone to know that I have experienced that. The tfl helpline passed me to a tube helpline that passed me back to a tfl helpline. And something about Ken Livingstone at the end.

And something about Ken Livingstone at the end.
It took me two hours a few weeks ago to come home from Dollis Hill station.
This district line was messed up so I jumped on the central line. Every train I sat on had some kind of a delay and/or unattended baggage left on it.
Also, the fact that I nearly always sit on the wrong platform and end up travelling the wrong way always adds to my delay getting home whenever I'm travelling via underground.
Trains on the whole are much better than buses, but when trains mess you around it ends up ruining a whole day.
Another reason for why London is King has got to be Hyde Park in the summer.
It’s great fun, especially speaker’s corner where you can see American tourists arguing with Marxists and Muslims over US foreign policy.
I go every sunday when the weather is warm, and then walk down Edgware road for some nice Turkish food. London is the best.
I haven't tried any, though there are quite a few lebonese places in Shepherds Bush where i live.
I really want to try Iranian food I heard there is a great new restaurant somewhere along Edgeware rd. I'm gonna try and find it next time the sun is shining on the weekend. lol i could be waiting some time.
and london is the only part of the Uk to have ever experienced the smog.
Way to go.

Bus/train fare is outrageous..(it costs £8.20 to buy a one day return ticket at a peak time).
The fast pace of London and the not all that water also contribute to people's moodiness.

What would you know. You are a joke remember ?
London is best because it doesn't have a sniper alley.
That wasn’t very nice.
The idea of people being murdered in the streets still seems to amuse you.
Perhaps you want me to make some “joke” about the pakistani earthquake to redress the balance?
Are those deaths funny to you as well?
I won’t stoop to your level.
I was wrong about you. You are not a mouse. You are a worm.
