Can't stand the place; traffic, too many foreigners, arrogant rude people and cyclists.

Welcome to London

...the best city in the world when everyone's not shanking and blasting...

I love London and have lived there for about four years. Having a few months away from the city has been really good in terms of seeing somewhere new and it's far more relaxing here but I am looking forward to getting back now.

There is just something about the place that I love and it's got to be one of the most diverse places on earth which really appeals to me.

Too busy for my liking, I like quietness and peace.

Shayper · 16 Jul 2012 at 21:09

London is awesome.

Dunks · 16 Jul 2012 at 21:28

London is amazing, but not looking forward to the madness that will be the Olympics, GF lives there so off down for a while on Friday.

First stop, getting out of Heathrow...

Somebody remembers my old threads

Or it's just a legit question, but most likely the former!

No really, it's actually a legitimate question. Although, I will go check your thread now

Never been to the Lincolnshire area.

Too small? kind of the point

Nothing to see? you would rather see nothing but concrete and glass?

Nothing to do? Plenty if you have an imagination for such things, take up woodcrafting or blacksmithing, maybe take a nice bike ride along a rather undisturbed path etc.

Train that runs in the sewers? Not even sure here to be honest, odd.

Really, do you think I was being serious, really?

The largest city I've been in (for a prolonged period) is Pontypridd.

I can't see London being my thing.

Shayper · 16 Jul 2012 at 21:39

Kd, you are working in London at the moment?

We should catch up at some point, I'm moving back there for good on Wednesday

peterattheboro · 16 Jul 2012 at 21:46

I didn't like London, then I moved here and now I love it.

And I have to drive in it every day

I suspect you're trolling, but I'm willing to to take you seriously. Why is too many foreigners an issue? London is a massive tourist hotspot, there will be people from all over the world.

I am not trolling. I just feel the city has lost its identity, there are a lot of riff raff immigrants there, especially if you go to places like Stratford. They do not make any efforts to integrate into our society, in fact I get the impression they judge us. I feel like I am not in my country when I go to certain parts of London. I don't think we know who we are letting in to our country.

I love London, wish I could spend more time there tbh.

I think you're full of rubbish and haven't thought through your views enough to validate them.

I love the place. All that hustle and bustle, it's a great place! Being born and bred here makes all the difference.

But London isn't like that. There are no white people.

The foreigners are the only people who might say hello or might hold a door open

londons ok for the odd week . Hell for living

Yes, I do quite enjoy the odd day out there but could not even conceive the idea of living there.

Liquidfox · 16 Jul 2012 at 22:15

Went down there for a night out at the end of last year, it's amazing how rushed everybody seems to be

Couldn't hack it for more than a few days

What exactly is "integrating into our society"? What is the exact problem with "riff raff immigrants" over native "riff raff"? How do you know that they're immigrants? In fact, how do you ever spot whether some one is an immigrant or not?

Yaayuh! · 16 Jul 2012 at 22:15

I don't like London either, jut like every other city really. Good to socialise in now and then but i'm a country man tbh.

There are quite a few white people in London.

It is my opinion, I don't need to validate anything.
