Are Londoners a bunch of self-centered insular thickos?

Which is pronounced "Planet arium"!

Churchie - In "South Park" mode!

Depends on what kind of accent you have

You obviously don't watch South Park!

Londoners seem to think that the whole of the country should know all the minutiae of the vile city they call home. What makes them so self-absorbed that they think minor details of assorted neighbourhoods in one small area of this country should be common knowledge to all?

Discuss.

So ALL Londoners are like this then you seem to imply they are, you post says more about people from the East Midlands then London, we should have a thread 'Are all people in the East Midlands, generalising tossers ?' !

I havent seen one post on the forum slagging off the north, yet loads giving Londoners grief. I was born in the north and lived there for 20 years and now live and work in London for the last 11 years, I like both places and am probably better placed than you to make judgement on the type of the people in these areas than yourself, and to be honest there is no difference IMO.

I just dont get this London bashing, fact is its the capital city so has a higher profile ! May be its just jealousy ?

Did you know Sherlock Holmes was set in Baker Street, which has tube station of the same name.

So what line is Sherlock Holmes station on? Since you're such a London expert.

Also the Metropolitan (I know that the H&C is part of the Met), but also the bit that goes out to Metroland
