As an outsider, I've never found London exceptionally rude. I put this received wisdom down to stereotypes and cliches more than anything else. Transport staff in the capital are arseholes in my experience though.

I am sure there are places in America like that, if you go to big cities, is where you see it most, even in DC, or NY! But if you go to a regular town, or a college town where there is a major university ( I lived in one) , its not segragated, and so much more enjoyable. I cant wait to go back to be honest!

Thats the thing though, if you didnt grow up here, you its not easy to just feel at home. Like I said, its a hustlers town. Most people come in here to make some money, so they arent very friendly. But if you grew up here, its all gravy!

I'm not a Jimmy Carr fan, but my favourite line of his from 8 Out of 10 Cats is...

"living in the country is great... unless you want to go anywhere, see anyone or do anything"

ILoveTRW · 06-03-2010, 11:51 PM

the only thing i noticed about Londoners is they keep themselves to themselves, where i live you have to say hi to every single person you walk past

tbh i get tried of saying hi to random strangers

transport of london workers are dicks. But london as a city is amazing, excluding the people.

would you not says its the opposite way around, this states like Minnesota and Mississippi having the segregation, and state like California and New York being the melting pots

supernoodles! · 06-03-2010, 11:56 PM

Thats srtereotypes that you hear. I guarantee you, people from the south, bar some of the notorisouly racist cities, are a lot friendlier, and integrated, than people from the north and big cities. GO to Washington DC and check it out! IVe spent some time there, so I know about that city at least.

Nooo!!! Dont come to London! It will change you. You wont be as nice anymore.
Just come and visit if you want to party and stuff, but make sure you leave!

i suppose its just all the people who are naive about race seem to come from the remote areas on reality tv

I don't think I could live in London though. Even that was too much for me. Sheffield is perfect. Steel city!

I LOVE London, it's just got everything.
I honestly never wanna move away, I've even applied to unis here.
Where I am specifically, we're only 40mins via tube to central london, there's a nightbus from tottenham court road that drops me literally outside my house, but we're also far enough out that there's fields and stuff about 10 minutes drive down the road.

Hello Samy, so you speak Japanese!
Konbanwa.

That is an old Japanese saying.
"You will like the place eventually" or "Wherever you live now is the best for you." or something like that. (you see, my English, I am not explaining well)

How we use it? For example;
If a child is moving to another place to live for some reasons, and he/she is not keen the place, parents might say to her/him,"住めば都 sumeba miyako"

CaraRawr · 10-03-2010, 06:06 AM

I like where I live! It's quite a nice area, if you excuse the chavs, and the town centre here is great for shopping and culture and that. and we're only about 20 minutes from london on the train so it's really convinient :]

zotler. · 10-03-2010, 06:19 AM

I live in a grotty industrial town. I hate it, you have to go to Stoke or Birmingham to do anything decent and a lot of people around here are extremely rough.

teamandre · 10-03-2010, 08:19 AM

no i hate were i live its so small that every one knows your life in side out puls it full of d**k heads!

Crimson Dynamo · 10-03-2010, 08:35 AM

I dont pay to park anywhere. I dont lock my car or house. There has been snow in the garden since the 16th of December and there is still 14cm now. It has been sunny for the last 10 days in a row.

cracking.

(London is rubbish)
