Why is it people want strangers to say hello to them? I don't get that,'Oh in London people don't say hello'.Yeah because they don't know you!No offence to anyone,I'm just saying. And I'm with Enid on the grass things,there's plenty of parks.

Nobody said anything about saying hello, London's the last place you'd see a stranger saying hello to another like on the street or something.
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.

Meh, Cardiff is okay. Our town centre is one of the best things about it though and there's loads of nice places to go to.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's potentially the most boring place on Earth.

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

EDIT: Apparently

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.

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.
