What is it that everyone has against London? I can’t say for certain that London is the greatest city in the world, but it is a pretty special place.
I grew up in London and it is a great city. The amount of things to do, all the culture, parks, museums. There’s all the markets dotted around, music venues……etc. I don’t think I have even scratched the surface in all the time I lived there.
I then moved to Cambridge which is a MUCH smaller city and i could appreciate all the benefits that living there had (and the disadvantages), while still being able to acknowledge that London was still a pretty nice place to be.
Now I live in a small town outside Peterborough and I can also see the benefits (and disadvantages) that living here has…….but that doesn’t make Cambridge or London any less great places to live…
I truly don’t understand why people who live in the North of the country or up into Scotland have this big thing about the South and particularly London being sh1t. When I go up to Leeds or Newcastle or the Peak District or Edinburgh or over to Wales or wherever, I don’t think what a crap place it is compared to the South……it’s just a different place.
I guess it’s the same thing as the Welsh/Scottish supporting anyone but England at football whereas most English people always get behind Scotland or Wales in International competitions……
As for the snow causing problems….it always has and it probably always will. It’s because we GENERALLY don’t have extremes so can’t cope very well with it when things get a bit too cold/hot…..yes, it works with hot as well (I can remember being sat on a met line train (the purple line to London haters) doing 5mph because it was too hot and the tracks were in danger of buckling).
