Class One Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Question: What's "White City"? Is it racist? The same could be said for the "Black Country" in the west mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 You could'nt pay me all the money in the world to live in London - I've been there plenty with work and I think its an over-rated, over-crowded, cess pit (if you venture off the tourist areas).

Green Peace Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Over The years, ive moved further out, best place to live in London is 'Surrey' (shame i live in Middlesex) I used to Love London, but its overpopulated now and not nearly as safe as it was....forget South of the River, I just will not cross the bridge lol (unless I really have to, I have some friends in Camberwell, they have to cross the bridge, noway will i go there:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Good review Michael It has been said that the best thing about London is the road north again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I love London and have been visiting, living and working there for 25+ years. I love the busyness of it and the fact there's always something to do and somewhere to go. The people who don't really like it have never expereinced London properly or possibly don't like the social side of life. And your right Rob, ONE of the best things about London is the road North, so we can't get rid of you bloody northerners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I like working in London, downsides are cyclists who don't think the highway and red lights are just for cars and trains - I'm not a great fan of being wedged in my seat by some fat geezer/ette who thinks I don't need some of my seat. But the rest is all good, and I do see some lovely cars on my wander along Embankment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
