Yeah, hospital toilets usually.
All McD need to do is install the right lighting and they can stop this pretty easily
However i even love commuting so maybe i'm weird.........
it makes me think that some people like to feel like they are the big fish in their very tiny and very boring pond. not aimed at anyone here, i just wanted to throw my big ugly assumption out there :thumb:
was walking along by southbank yesterday after my interview, amazing. got really drawn to the cotton centre, whatever that is. i googled it when i got home. plus as i found out you can have a laugh and act like a complete goon in london and it's okay because you retain some sort of anonomity (SP??)
ha
i like that everything is reachable and that there are tubes every few minutes, as opposed to waiting half an hour for a bus to get anywhere here, and the journey taking forever and a day. i like that it's so vibrant and exciting. i like that you can look at some of the key landmarks of this country whenever you like. and i like that you can go to places full of tourists, turn a corner and find a quiet spot. and i like that it's like lots of little town centres in one big city.
there's always something to do in london. if people come to see me in birmingham i'm a bit stuck about what we can go and do or see, whereas in london you have so much choice. and loads of shops have their flagship there
i totally get that london must feel lonely, especially if someone lives alone. but i think if you are lonely, you'll feel lonely wherever you are. in somewhere so big you must feel sometimes like you are so tiny and insignificant, and it's pretty unlikely that you'll bump into someone you know in the street like you would somewhere smaller. but for me, that's exactly what i want.
I agree. And unlike where I am now, there are buses at silly o'clock. (the ones in Plymouth start around 6am and finish around 11.30pm)
I also found that I could just jump on a tube / bus / whatever and there'd generally be something to do / somewhere to go within a few stops or so.
But I am incredibly lucky to live where i do.
But then I go to the market and the butcher recognises me, and the cheese man recognises me, and the greengrocer recognises me, and I bump into friends in the street. It's a short walk out of the city into massive green parks and a short drive or bus ride out into proper countryside with castles and beaches and little old man pubs.
That said, if I had the money to live somewhere nice, I really could see the appeal of living in London. The problem is that I don't have the money to live somewhere nice and I'm unlikely to ever have the money to live somewhere nice in London. I couldn't afford what I have here, which is the problem.
Yeah I get this in London, within the community I live (Kentish Town). It's not as if London is one massive place where people move around at Random never seeing the same face twice - you live within smaller communities around different areas of London. We have local shops where they recognise me and stuff like you would have living somewhere smaller.
this.
My brother goes to uni in London. Driving there is awful. Parking there is awful. It's expensive, noisy and dirty and I end up obsessing about how dirty and unhygienic everything is.
But I'm not a big city fan
Whilst rent may be higher, it's not really that much more expensive.
