I lived in London for 20 years in various places(North,South and East) and suffered the usual multiple burgalries (once while we were asleep in the house), attempted assaults by psycho bored youths(no provocation), really crap schools etc. However I had some great times, great parties, great friends, great jobs. But there does come a time as you get a bit older when the violence, the rudeness, the dirt, the overpopulation, the traffic and the schools make you want to leave.

Funny that coming up to middle age, lived in London all my life in various places, been burgled once, never been assaulted, never seen as much violence as I did when I lived up North for a year, live in a nice clean area with the lowest council tax in England, close to London's brilliant public transport so don't need to spend thousands on a car.
Typing this in my garden office, looking at the apple tree and sipping a single malt.
Go figure.

I would worry if I was paying you to provide statistical information.

Is your little bit of paradise representative of the rest of the city? London has been caught with it's pants down so now what? I'd rather be living in the countryside when civil the unrest breaks out.

You have been watching too many zombie movies.

Brrrains
Oh I forgot, the pollution in London (jsut a few mins out and about results in black stuff up the beak) probably damages the brain and lungs so even zombies wouldn`t want to reside there.

joking aside, sas, which area of london do you live?

I would have been around the Chelsea overnight then through Pimlico then to drop someone off in Lambeth then South West towards the M3 I think passing Clapham as I tried to escape, not sure entirely as I was just following the Satnav while looking at the poor Londoners roaming the streets looking sad and grim

I actually quite like London - I'm a city girl, (I grew up in the country and frankly think its overrated) I like the buzz. What I don't enjoy about London is the tube. I also miss home life, BUT I do get to go out and do stuff I wouldn't normally do at home, because I'm on my own and don't need a babysitter.
So make the most of it - and come along to the pub
