Advantages & disadvantages of moving to London / Surrey

Been to london a few times, but I didnt like it. Its MASSIIIVE

Sweet, Napoleon might need perking up after the long train journey down.. and it's either that or a misdemeanour in the showers at kings cross...

I think I know which one he'd prefer.

london is class like, me ma lives down there and has done for 22 years, she lives just of liverpool street station. i have worked down there a few times but was stopping at my mothers so could'nt get away living there on a permanent basis unless i had my own place. i would move there tomorrow but my lass is'nt to keen on the idea as we would have to stop at my mothers till we found a place, my mam knows loads of little quirky places where you would'nt dream of going unless you lived there for so long.
it is a fast pace of life but there's every thing you could imagine you would want to do and you alway's spot celebs which gets me excited
was only down visiting my mother 2 weeks ago and i saw holly willoboughy(sp) on brick lane iv'e also spoted rachel stevens, guss from eastenders ,adeal silvia (kelly emmerdale)
will melor, barry of auf wiedershen pet, pete doherty and bryan adams also that mp from big brother george ?? and if it's good enough for them im sure i could live there. i used to walk to work around half five as i was on night shifts and on the way used to count the woman i would fuck if given the chance there was never less than 50 every night and they were all 7 out of 10 and above

london rocks :

so in summary

you love london because you see Z list celebritys

no not just that si the way of life is much better than newcastle theres much more diversity in london the restaraunts
the people, things do to more work opportunitys and if i was to live and work in london the wages i get are double what i get working up here in the north, plus my mam lives down there and is rather well off so i alway's get spoilt even though im 27 so it's all good and if you see a few celebs especially rachell stevens and holly willoboughy it's a bounus as them two are bloody gorgeous

seems like half this board live in london
Just to disagree I think London smells bad and nobody has time of day for anyone else and the tube smells even worse and there's no wild open space and the people think that it's the centre of the universe and it's dirty and run down and half broken and it takes forever to get anywhere and it smells.

You know me so well....

It's all about friday this wkend

Forks> People are what you mak of them, and there's as many nice/polite people here as anywhere else imo. The place does smell though, but in its defence it only really smells in summer, and there are 7million people producing waste

You knows it....

London is one of the greenest major cities in the world - More 'greenspace' per head than any other.. I agree the fumes aren't too great but I don't hang about the streets too much, there's enough other things to keep me occupied..

The friendliness thing is bollocks, the north is full of whingey cunts, I've found London to be extremley friendly so far..

What does the tube smell of?

I live south (Oval). On the Northern line, which isn't the most reliable but gets me to where I want to go (usually). Am planning to move to Clapham in October though.

Not seen any shootings yet, but the day I moved in was the day that shop got firebombed and two people died, about 100 yards from my flat. My mum freaked a bit.

Only people who have no mates mention the unfriendly thing

some of my best friends are mates

no wonder you think London is unfriendly if that is an example of the shite you come out with upon first meeting people

Same here, the map of the underground lines is like a cryptic maze Its ney Metro like

It is beyond me how anyone gets lost on it though - there are maps everywhere!

The London tube is an absolute piece of piss compared to the Paris one:



Proper head fuck:spangled:
