    see - you don't like the place just because they all have that fancy shiny stuff in the window panes. don't worry, these things will catch on north of zone 4 one of these days!

      Think before you type eh?
      Roehampton is a bit nasty. I mean the area is just one big council estate.

        Half of it is council estate (Not particularily bad one though) and hald is actualy quite exclusive (Old village, detached houses etc etc), and it's surounded by parks (Wimbledon, richmond).

        Though they've got that dodgy drug rehab place - the priory, full of low lives ;-)

            LOL, excellent!

            You forgot to include that the weather in London is always really great and hot thanks to the smog cloud which traps the heat in.

              I think London should become a seperate country - borders at the M25. And only those who live inside can work there. Like switzerland. It would certainly cut down on the carbon footprint.

                  I am guessing he has never seen Dulwich Village either, beats anything north of the river. Has HRH always been this much of an ignorant twerp?

                    Has Dulwich Village still suffer from Tom Cruise? Once he is gone it will be perfect...

                      My best guess would be in the affirmative.

                      HTH.
