Well got back on Sunday but got back from my boyfriends yesterday. Had a really good time in London. Didn't realise how expensive it was!

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    London would scare me to be honest. My sister loves it and always tries to get me to go with her though.

    London is daunting. Don't think I could live there.


    I just visit from time to time, mostly to see bands :razz:

    Same here, its great (but it takes me about 45 mins) as I don't think I could live right in the heart of London, but I really enjoy being able to visit often.

    At the monent I'm in Greenwich at uni, which is great, as I'm really close to central London, but it still feels like a live in a town and not part of a city.

    ive got told to fuck off with scottish notes before!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Co-op takes Scottish notes! Customers don't like getting them as change though.

    I found it really daunting until i knew how the tubes worked. I have to go on my own soon to get my visa an im a bit worried :nervous:

    Where do you have to get your visa for? if you dont mind me asking!

    Me and Violette have gotta go soon to get our visas at the American Embassy. I don't even know if we can go together now, its all shit.

    I've only been to London once and that was on a Christmas shopping trip thing! I'm a bit scured, im gonna get lost! Don't think I'll chance it on my own.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I absolutely love living in London. (not central though) I can hop on the tube and go almost anywhere i want soooo easily.. (Despite what every says about the tube) If i didn't live near London I would have no life. Seriously. There is nothing here. London is great.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I love the london. I miss it being up north here.

    Oh, I thought maybe you had spent an exchange semester there or something. Lucky bastard anyway, I'd love to go! My whole family has been there, except me :impissed:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I've never been London. When I go the meet it will be my first time :hyper:

    Well, my brother's living there and it used to be illegal for him to come here (long story, but not because he did something wrong) so we were going to visit. It's legal for him to visit now though, and since one ticket is much cheaper than 2 or 3 or 4... I guess it'll be a long time before I see London again.

    If it makes it any better though, my whole family has been some tiny village where I haven't been. :p

    lol, thanks!

    Well, if my brother wins the scholarship he's expecting then he'll be in London too, so I would definitely take the chance to go and visit him.

    Keep your fingers crossed for him please!
