I mean, I didn't think I'd have to explain this in such stupid talk but here goes:

The first website is for English teachers. Why do you think that England might not be on a list for English teachers looking to teach abroad?

The second link has London listed as number 8. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as "among the best in the world".

The third link is highlighting peoples' main gripe about London's transport, ignoring the fact that it's a 3 year old opinion piece that looks like it was written by a child, it literally only talks about London. Where's your comparison to other cities?

Here's a question for you - how many countries have you experienced, extensively, to be able to compare London's transport network to? I don't mean a week in another country, I mean actual time commuting to work. I can say this with 100% certainty, you won't even be in the same ballpark as myself and many others on this forum, from the top-tier countries to countries where there is pretty much zero public transport to speak of.

If there's one thing to take away from this, is that outside of your little bubble of misinformed nonsense, there are people with actual real world experience and some of them, like me, thoroughly enjoy pointing out what a load of tosh your points are, you may want to factor this in to your posts, lest you look like that three year old at a party who thinks he's contributing to the discussion but regularly gets a pat on the head for not making doo doo in his nappy.

Looks like you become emotional, the kind of school playground response: a child would make, showing poor cognitive capacity, and inability to make decisions. The list shows pretty awful websites, you listed are not high-traffic sites but low-traffic sites. Lack of international living therefore unable to make real-life comparisons, feel pretty sorry but hey ho. And to be honest, a reflection of the state of this country, and its terminal decline.

Probably the only thing he's not been spectacularly wrong about in this thread tbh, there are a small subset of cyclists in London who are only alive because of the alertness of others.

Oh without doubt there are some kamikaze joes, it’s the claim that deaths are caused in the main by their own failings that I was curious about.

Too right I become emotional, it saddens me that after thousands of years of human evolution that we're still producing people with the brainpower of a jellyfish. Shame really.

I'd be honest, I don't have enough evidence to support either side of this argument but having lived here for 16 years now, commuting in to both the City and the West End for many, many years, I would err on the side of the cyclists being at fault mainly. Just a hunch though, I could well be very wrong.

Of course the massive push to cycle lanes over the last decade or so will also skew this significantly. I remember Elephant & Castle roundabout in 2006, you'd have to have been an absolute nutter to want to do that on a bicycle :eek:
 
I love that there is a place in this world for people to have arguments with complete strangers they will never meet about the validity of third party opinions of relative scoring of public transport systems.
