All producing largely white, proffesional middle class, discourses that you spend most of your time on here bleating against.
What? Explain please? So, you're saying I'm opposed to White Middle Class professionals now, are you? Do you pay any attention to what I post?
Nah, you've got me mixed up with someone in your own imagination I'm afraid me old mucker.
Or do you just want an argument? 😉
Stumpyjohn; I agree to an extent re some suburbs, but then even some of them have their own uniqueness within London's history. Greenwich was once miles from the city, yet today is inseparable from any notion of what London is.
I think the difference between London and many other cities worldwide, is that London is a 'brand'. Same as Paris, Barça, New York etc. Other UK cities have tried this, but never really succeeded for that long. London has produced icons that symbolise the place like no other city on Earth has, really.
