London its a dump

[manxcat]

best city in the world

I agree with this. I had to live near there to realise it but it is the best city I have visited amongst many.

Good place in parts, shit hole in others.

Enough about Sunderland, what about London?

It's the same for everywhere Of course less likely to be stabbed or terrorised up, or have a baddie cop do you in Sunderland as opposed to London I'd imagine.

You can buy a full stop or a comma or even a semi colon in London so I’ve heard

Best point of the day.

Somebody never walked round Mayfair or Belgravia, or even bloody Kensington.

They're absolute dumps and have the highest crime rates and poverty in the UK. Just because they have some ridiculously rich people living there in gated fortresses and some nice shops does not make it not a dump.

The problem with central London is you're never not 5 minutes away from a dangerous council estate armed to the hilt.

the wife's(nee pics but she's on a free) cousin worked for the tourist board for london years ago,he said even back then he wouldn't live there for a kings ransom

You'd need two kings ransoms just to get a bedsit anyhow

I spent a year in London in the 'loads-a-money' era plumbing for a little squad of builders. Renting in a large shared house with recently graduated types and possibly one of the best years of my life. However, I just got sick of how horrible Londoners were. Rude and barging about and one day a bloke serving in a burger place threw a knife at a customer and it hit me and that night I decided I wanted to return to the North East. For good.

No, as it's each of their ransoms. They didn't put it into a joint pot, I assume.

 

[Ron Seal]

Try the suburb of Hampstead, and in particular a street called Church Row.

Ricky Gervais has one of those I think.

King's

Not if it was two different Kings.

Sorry what now?

Here's an idea, stop being a bellend grammar troll.

It's boring as owt.

 

[Frasmotic]

what a fanny

I'd spent 10 years down a coal mine on a coal face before I moved to London. How about you - you fanny. (with one whole year with no wages or dole money) - and before you ask you cock - apprentices learned plumbing at the pits.

 

[Silly Point]

Don't mind it at all. If I had money I'd love to live there. But I don't so better off in my one bed flat in Leeds than a tiny room in a house share in London.

Sorry what now?

One king = King's
Two Kings ≈ Kings'
