I can't be bothered with this any more. It will just descend into the usual London-baiting it always does.
London is not the place for everyone. It's my home town, and I doubt I'd find many other cities, globally, I'd be at home in, as much as I am here. And I've seen one or two. I'd certainly not give up living in London, for any other city in the UK, that's for sure. would be like taking a backward step; going from a Ferrari to a Mondeo.
I'm an Urbanite, not a country dweller. The countryside is a place where I can go and relax, occasionally, although I get a bit bored after a short time, tbh. I prefer the immediacy and close proximity to everything, in London. That's me, I don't expect everyone else to be the same.
The great think about the UK is that if you don't like one spot, you can always move, provided you're relatively affluent. If you want to live in the countryside, fine. if you prefer Edinburgh to London, fine.
Just accept, also, that others don't share your point of view. And just because you may believe yourself to be oh so enlightened and clever, still does not in any way mean you know more than others, or that your onion is anyway more valid.
One of the good things about London, is that it is relatively easy to leave. So, if you're not happy here, then go. Find somewhere else, where you'll be happy.
Because those of us that do want to stay here, will still be happy, regardless of what choices you make, trust me. I'm not bothered one way or another, whether you chose to stay or not. Just don't moan about it.
Just out of interest, Sody; where you planning on heading next? Team effort, or solo venture? Whatever, hope it works out well for you. Seems London just weren't the place for you. Nothing ventured, though, eh?
Say you move around a wee bit, and get a different perspective on things in a few years...you might realise that London is what it is
I've got a pretty odd idea of what it is, and I'm happy with it. I love the place!
