    You might not realise it but it is now one sh"t hot city. I saw no slummy areas at all. The trains ran on time, not a scrap of litter. I heard no police sirens at all, felt perfectly safe wandering around in the East End late at night. I reckon if I dropped my wallet on the floor someone would have picked it up and handed it to me. Even the buskers were well dressed.

    A lot more drunken yobs, graffti and broken car windows in Zürich than in London.

      They were ambulance and fire engine sirens - can't you tell the difference?

      The police try not to use sirens unless they are going home for lunch because the criminals hot foot it.
