    There are places that I wouldn't enjoy living, but I wouldn't dream of starting a thread about it!

    I think that could be quite an entertaining thread. I'll start with:

    Northampton
    Bedfordshire
    Aberdeen
    They are an EYESORES!!!!

    I'm going to politely back out of this debate as it appears to have reached an intellectual level that I just cannot compete on.

    Good of you to admit lol

    Secondly, London IS full of immigrants and idiots fighting over seats on the train first thing in the morning.:j

    the high number of immigrants and high uptake of public transport are both positives in my book.

    better than a small gene pool and excessive use of 4x4s anyhow.

    ninky, old girl. You're back. Where have you been hiding.

    I've missed your oh-so-cute liberalisms and pithy West London dinner party aphorisms.

    Woooo hooooo .. my favourite poster returns.

    Not 'too' bothered about immigrants but crowded trains isn't my idea of fun. Specially when ppl start pushing, someones arm pit in your face. :rotfl:

    I never quite understand when I see a car which can only be worth £400-1000 tops outside of a flat which is 'worth' around £500k in london...

    you should try living in Asia. The opposite tends to be true, with cars worth £100-£150,000 parked outside apartment buildings which are rented for £100 a month or less.

    It's all about 'face'.

    London being a city full of immigrants doesn't bother me in the slightest. But I'm not a BNP supporter (changed your signature I see).

    I get a seat on the train every day. Without fighting!
