terribleturner Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Now public transport i can't stand, but i think that goes back to when i first started doing nightshifts, and at 8am i'd get on the tubes and stand next to some damn fine young ladies all smart and looking good for a days work while i stunk after doing 12 hours in a dark room. They musty have looked at me and thought "what a dirty disgusting bastatrd, couldn't even make an effort when he woke up this morning".

Bolsius Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have been down in London (from Glasgow) for 20 years now, and have to say I love the place. Not sayings it's better than Glasgow or a few other cities I love (the Dam, Paris and Dublin to name a few) but it's a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching those tiny, dusty mice having fights and generally scurrying around in the suicide pit when you're waiting for a train. They crack me up!

Tannhauser Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Great to visit, miserable to live in, imo. I lived there for a year some while back. Although it feels like the land of infinite possibility, there're three things that put me off: 1. The provincialism of it. I don't know if you can really call a capital city 'provincial', but that's what it felt like. For the Londoners, It was like there was nothing outside of the M25. Very insular, a if the rest of the UK was a blank map with 'Here Be Dragons' written on it. 2. It always felt an emotionally cold place to me. The tube is the worst for this - I felt you could die on there and people would step over you rather than risk f**king up their morning by helping. 3. The 'traffic black snot' I had from the morning I moved there until two days after I moved away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second 1 and 2, I've never experienced 3 (you should try an evening in a shooting range for black shite up your nose lol). It's also lacking in horizons. real ones, not metaphysical or psychological ones. No bloody horizons, just building building building building mushroom mushroom. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I've only been a few times and originally thought as a 'tourist' it was ok and still think there is a certain degree of charm to the place. However since I made the mistake of driving there once to see a play a friend was directing and missing the entire thing due to traffic I pretty much hate it. The place is filthy, Paris/ Toyko in fact everywhere is spotless in comparison, the traffic is a joke, there are far too many people there, everything is so expensive that it has its own category 'London Prices' . As for the tube well cattle get transported in better conditions so public transport is nasty but so is everything relating to owning a car so your essentially in a lose, lose situation. Not for me.

John_M Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Samuel Johnson - Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford. I've been driving and delivering around London for years and I'm not too bothered about the traffic, etc. When you view London from a vehicle it is the dirty place which someone else said it was but if you get out and actually look around you there is so much of intrest unseen. That said, there is no way I would ever live there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 We like London in general, for a day or evening visit. Wouldn't want to live there though. The tubes suck during rush hour (and at most other times) Trains out of the city (heading south at least) at night seem to stop really early - killing a night out in the city. After visiting Marrakech recently, London doesn't seem that busy any more lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like driving around in London, I like walking about in London. I like the idea of going to London and seeing all of those crazy places. But to live there would spoil it I think.
