They aren't available for free though, are they?
they are available for the financially destructive price of "living in London"

YES!

Wait...I mean 'No! That doesn't even make sense'.

They are free. You walk up, you don't pay, and you look at stuff.

And you don't even have to live in London to do it. Even durty foreigns can come in.

I'm dead against it personally,
but I am pretty sure they do allow non-London residents into these places as well, you know. I am *certain* I saw a tourist at the Tate once.

That would be my point.
Why would anyone want to live there when the only redeeming features are equally accessable to tourists?

If that was your point, you made it appallingly.
In fact, it seems to me that it's an entirely different point you are now making and you are just trying to bluff your way through it by saying that it was what you meant all along.

it's OK, i won't tell anyone.

not at all
I may have misunderstood exactly what you were defending. I was under the impression you were defending London as a place to live, and my point didn't change at all.

If you're merely defending London as a place to visit, no problem.

No it wasn't. Your point was that 'they aren't available for free though'
That is an entirely different point. A wrong point.

It's scaring me how on the same page you and I are for once.

What's annoying me is that you are making MY points BEFORE me.
Stop it.

You beat me to the 'they aren't in Wales' one.

I was under the impression you were using the fact that art galleries are free
as a defence of London as a place to live.

If you weren't, my mistake.

I can see the Rosetta Stone within 20 minutes of walking out of my front door
and it is for this reason as well as thousands of others which make high living costs and grubbiness more than worthwhile to me.

I just think it's a bit rich to write off one of the world's greatest cities as 'horrible' when you live in Bogshite, Gwent, and the only cultural activity for hundreds of miles is 'drinking Ice White in a bus shelter' or 'molesting sheep'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 30 Oct 2012, 9:48, Reply)

Oh, absolutely. Just as it's extraordinarily ignorant to write off a place you've never even seen
as "bogshite" just because you happen to be one of the several million people who are geographically located inside the M25.

You've no idea at all about how much of Wales I've seen.
That's 'extraordinarily ignorant', if you ask me. I've visited the majority of the castles of Wales, a large number of the towns as well as much of the coastline from Pembrokeshire to Anglesey. My mother was born in Swansea where her father was Professor. I've also been to a number of festivals in the middle of nowhere there and find the place to be beautiful and extremely pleasant.

Which is why I'm not the prick posting 'Wales is horrible. Fact' like some kind of backward, ill-informed dunce.

Right, so you have been to where Cavy lives
and you know it's shite, then? in which case, my apologies.
