It's not great but it's home. I'd much rather stay where I am then move to a city though, can't stand cities.

In London I've been shoved to the floor on the tube, pushed in the street several times, even got hit in the face by a briefcase on the bus without recieving a single apology, if that happened here I would have got an apology. I asked a guy the way to Hyde Park once and he replied 'buy a *****ing map' and carried on reading his paper.
People in London have no time for you whatsover, I just can't understand how people can be so rude and unfriendly.. it's worlds apart from where I live.

Jesus christ! That's awful! I've never experienced anything like that in London at all. Maybe I just got lucky.

Beastie 06-03-2010 03:28 PM

I have been to London but don't think I would want to live there. I didn't experience rudeness in London but maybe I was lucky too. I am happyish where I live! but my local bank got closed down which is like 5 minutes away from me.. my closest bank now is 15 minutes away! lol

Umm there are quite a few chavs.. scrap them then the place would be better.

Tom4784 06-03-2010 03:30 PM

I couldn't stand living in london, it's decent for day trips but everything's so hectic and I just could not stand living there.

Ross 06-03-2010 03:37 PM

Yes I like my city.

I don't like London, people are very rude.

I agree with you about Cork City but county Cork is beautiful and I love where I live.

and yeah Patrick it does look abit like Balamory haha but it's not!

Second biggest city of France. Sun all year long, Mediterranean weather, beautiful islands, gorgeous beaches, great University. I love Marseilles even though it's a bit dirty but still. I will always love it but my heart doesn't belong here, I'm in love with London since I was a child. I'm a traveller, but I will never forget where I come from and who I am.

And Marseilles has the best clubs in France. Paris isn't even close.

GypsyGoth 06-03-2010 07:02 PM

Not overly fond of my neighbourhood however I do like the city as a whole.

MarkWaldorf 06-03-2010 07:54 PM

True London is a pukka place, huge urban playground for all tastes..

Islington is ok..

No, been there plenty of times.. And Tottenham area, Hackney.. Tis like a bunch of towns all together in urban happiness.

LemonJam 06-03-2010 09:23 PM

It's potentially the most boring place on Earth.

However, on ratio we do drink more than the UK and Ireland.

EDIT: Apparently :p

Enid 06-03-2010 09:34 PM

Urban happiness indeed. Mmmm pollution.

sooty 06-03-2010 09:38 PM

I like my town.

Less than 20 minutes by train to Kings Cross Station.
Lots of green yet very near to London.
Very good school.
Few minutes drive to M25.
24 hours open Tesco and small Sainsbury.
Swimming Centre
Community Centre

Then this is my view (oap).
Young people might think totally other view.

WOMBAI 06-03-2010 10:41 PM

I like where I live. Quiet area just a few miles from the town centre and an hour by train to London. Plenty of shops, schools and other facilities. Good social life.

Mrluvaluva 06-03-2010 10:44 PM

I like where I live now. 20 min walk from Manchester town centre down the canal. I got bored after 8 years in London. It became mundane like anywhere. I like to move around.

Alf 06-03-2010 10:46 PM

i live in Hull

so what do you think?

Wildcat! 06-03-2010 11:07 PM

London for the past 3 years. I really dont like it to be honest. I think people are way too cold, they dont smile, they look at you funny if you are talking loudly. I dont know, its just like everyone is either outrageous, or constipated. And there are lots of crooks, from store owners trying to short change you, to big time crooks!! Its a hustler's town!
I dont like big cities anyways. I am only here, because I was dumb enough to choose a grad school in London to go to. I am done in june anyways. I like the multi culturalism, but its segragated. Everyone lives on their side and have neighborhoods, that are all segragated. I am not used to that, grew up in Africa, and in Tucson Arizona, so I have always seen people mixing.

Anyways, naa, I dont like London at all! Its expensive, and I dont like the people here.

I always heard America was more of a melting pot than the UK, but others have said the US is more segregated. I guess the former must be true. I really wish people would mix with eachother more.

Loukas 06-03-2010 11:43 PM

I have never experienced someone rude in London and i have been here all my life, i guess it might be different because i have been brought up here? London is magical in my eyes, you just need to find the magic :D
