    London (yet again)

    Contract renewal coming up :

    What's good about working in London ?

    Who enjoy working in London and why ?

    Also noticed lots of cheap flats, eg £1200 in Mayfair.

    What's the catch ?
    I'm alright Jack

        Nothing. Not me. Cos I couldn't get 600 quid a day.

        Btw, me and Blaster are trying to swap between Zurich and London.

        Btw, don't you have a flat that you have to leave Blaster?

              London has everything (except for farms, horse, fields, contry lanes), but to bring up kids you need money, so I can understand why families move out. If you are single and enjoy life (unless you are a rambler) then its fantastic.

              What gets me is the people who live outside of London who have to tell everyone how awful London is to which I have two questions:

              1. Who are you trying to convince?
              2. Is not life what you make of it wherever you are?

                    I 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.
