Bulltulip. It's a city that allows you to live a rich life. Not just financially, but in every other aspect. You have to make an effort and live here for a couple of years to appreciate it. It is not for everyone, though. Just like Yorkshire or Cheshire. Except Yorkshire is tulip. OK, maybe Cheshire is too.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostThere is only 1 good thing about London.

You forgot no. 8.
You can sell your 1 bed above a kebab shop in Hackney and buy 3 houses in Germany.
