# I'm not bitching at you, so don't get huffy
but it amazes me that people who choose to live and work in London (that's CHOOSE) get huffy about tourists. Did you think it was going to be like the Archers or something?

# Exactly, so you've got lots of experience with tourists.
I'm honestly not bitching, I just... don't understand why people have such a problem with them. I don't know, everyone seems to care more about things that don't matter in London.

# I have no problem with tourism or tourists
just people who don't think and stand in the way oblivious.

# I always think they look scared.
I get a bit frightened in the tube sometimes, everyone seems to know where they're going almost immediately, and you're NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THE TUBE MAP. Ohhhh no, you should know it by heart.

Or at least, that's how some outsiders feel when we have to go to London.
