One thing they missed though is the fact that no one who lives in London was actually born there

They are lovely people, but they knock us out of the park for ignorance. We're bad. They're 10 times worse.

Was in some moody bar near Goodison after The Fulham game and was paying Â£1.80 for a pint. Was absolutly amazed. Â£2.50 is considered cheap round are way. Pubs are Â£3 minimum.

People are defo friendlier, except in Manchester. But I do wanna move to Manchester.

But serious. I'm considering it after Summer. It's grim up north though.
