Good 'ole London....
... where as a 15 year old lad I was stood on the rear platform of an old Routemaster red bus ready to hop off when the bus came to a halt at the next bus stop.

As it stopped, I looked up from my normal teenager looking at the ground stance so I could see where I was going and navigate my way off the bus into the crowd waiting at the bus stop. It was an early weekend afternoon in the Autumn and the weather was grey, so it seems were peoples moods.

This was when, after a fraction of a second eye contact, a typically cheerful local man waiting to board the bus said "Don't look at me like that you cunt or I'll ram your fucking glasses down your throat!".

You've gotta love London. I moved away as soon as I was 18 and I try go back as rarely as possible.

I can't understand the appeal of living there
I had to put up with being in one of its sattelite towns (I say town but it's all one big mess of interconnected urban shite) for three years and I didn't ever see a positive reason for being there. One of the main arguments for living there is the average wage is usually higher but when that also comes with the price of a few beers requiring a new mortgage and a payday loan it's really not worth it.

I grew up in one of those satellite towns, and its incidents like my post which convinced me to move away at 18.

Bizarrely I ended up working back in North London nearly 10 years later only to be lured away to Devon where I earnt substantially more than I did in London and with a far lower cost of living!
