Is that annual leave or are you a teacher?

What do you find to be the best bits about London Mr Horse? Is it the over inflated prices? The crowded aspect? The rudeness of it's dwellers? The time it takes to navigate your way around the place? The, some might say, arrogance of it's inhabitants? Or perhaps the tube in the summer?

London is the best city in the world. That's not only because I was born there. I admit, people aren't overly friendly to strangers, but that's just the way it is.

London has very individual architecture and heritage. There are crap areas of it, just like with any city, but also very nice areas. I lived there for all of my first 13 years and since then I've lived there part time. I miss it, since everything outside of the M25 (with the exception of a few places) is an untamed wilderness full of northerners and farmer types. (don't take this entirely seriously if you're from outside of London)

I love London. I loved living there when I did, but I wouldn't want to now. Its a place either for the very young or the very rich, and I am neither.

I see what you mean. I am only living there because I live with my parents still when I'm there. I chose to come up north to Nottingham for University though, because it's cheaper.

I love London and I was not born there. I loved the year I spent working there (that is if you exclude the travelling from MK every day.)

I just think that unless you earn tons of money, it's not enjoyable living there.

I live in the suburbs (Croydon) so it's not quite as expensive, but I can get the train into the centre in under 15 minutes. I'd like to live in London after University and not with my parents, but I can't see it being practical until I've got a decent income and less debt.

I went to London once and once only.

I was charged £2.95 for a pint and got the very next train back oop north in disgust.

every time i've been there, i've never left the city because i didn't want to pay the money for a train ticket north. i had free places to stay there, so i just layed about and took the tube excesssively.

this time it was as cheap to fly into manchester and i'm staying up there (for pretty much free), so it's a chance to see more of the country. makes sense too, since i watch corrie instead of enders and support wednesday and everton, not qpr and chelski.

Everton compared to Chelsea thats a bit unrealistic.

We have won far more than them.
