Explaining Londoners

[ricardobee]

London is a great place to visit, but a ****ty place to live. Unless you're loaded.

And as for Londoners, they're generally sound, if you can find one.

 

[ijjysmith]

Yeah but I like it.

 

[ricardobee]

I like it too, now that I've moved to Brighton!

 

[BlueWeasel]

Londons become much better since they got rid of black bogies.

:blink:

I live in London, I was born there!

Me too. Leave off London you bad bad snides

useless fact #321..........there is in the town i live a monument known as the admiralty archway placed in the harbour....apparently it was placed here to mark the start of the A5 road to London.... the official end was at Marble arch in that big Londinium down sarf .....so there you go, now you know.

I've worked with cockneys on site a few times and they're generally quite sound, never been to London though.

Gor blimey guv'nor. Borderline racialist article from the NY Times:

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

Seems fair enough to me except that they missed out that Londoners are like Mancunians in their inability to crack jokes at their own expense. It is much less racist in London than the North, though.
