Default Londoners reveling in all the things they can’t afford to do this weekend




AVERAGE Londoners are excitedly looking forward to missing a host of cultural events in the capital.


With the weekend almost here, residents are consulting events listings to choose the concerts, exhibitions and plays that they will not be attending.

Stephen Malley of Kilburn said: “In London you really feel that the world is someone else’s oyster. Where else in the world could I miss Rihanna playing ten nights in a row?

“Whether it’s an A-list star on stage in the West End I can’t get tickets for, a Michelin-starred restaurant laughing contemptuously at my attempt to make a reservation or a nightclub with guest list admittance only, London has it all.”

But long-time residents admit that they have become blasé about the city’s attractions.

Risk assessor Emma Bradford said: “I feel like I’ve not done pretty much everything there is to not do in London.

“The highlight has to be missing the Olympics in 2012. That was a real once in a lifetime non-experience.

“Still, I could never live anywhere like Birmingham. All those grubby little theatrical experiences within my financial reach. Vile.”

yes and what is great is that it takes ages to do any of them as the place is too full and the transport systems cant cope

there is nothing quite like driving 5 miles in just under 60 minutes

Lol what do you mean the transport system can't cope? The busses come every 10 minutes, the tube is incredible I can from one side of London to another in under an hour and dlr is pretty good too.

Also I don't know what you're on about I've had a good time most places I've been.
