Originally posted by FranckoI can't believe how naive londoners can be.
How can you claim to be rich as you cannot even afford to buy a nice property in a nice area? But don't worry you are still probably in the top 5% richest people in London (who amazingly cannot even afford to buy a nice house - not to mention second homes in the mountains/seaside or yacht).
Londoners are like big babies, they are given their machine toys and they think they are driving a formula one car.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Originally posted by FranckoI do (soon did) live in London, I just don't like to be poor (and in terms of many european standards that's what Londoners are) even if I have a top paid permie job or contract, that's it. Sure if you are young and can mingle with all the other foreign lovely girls around then it might be worth doing it though - ah but gone are the times where I could.....
I think most professional Londoners of a certain age are much better off than their continental counterparts - if only because they could sell their London property and buy 2 or 3 in any other city e.g. Berlin.Hard Brexit now!

Originally posted by BagpussA well off person can afford a 'cottage', that's a terraced house designed for factory workers to you and me. They can pretend it's urban chic to live in a 19th century paupers house which borders onto a crime hotspot. You get mugged and burgled once a year, but hey if you can't stand the heat.
HTHHard Brexit now!

Hoxton today is one of the most fashionable parts of inner London, yet within living memory it was the capital's most notorious slum areaThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
