Might as well be in London innit fam
I work in London occasionally and no one asked me for a pint either. But after speaking to them it was easy to see why. Most of their commutes to work were at least an hour and a half and some were 2 and a half hours.
Our London depot was in Enfield and most of the people who worked there were local to that area. The work however, was always in the city.
As for as being expensive. I got the first round in, in a bar in Leicester Sq. Two single vodka and cokes and a single jd and coke. It come to £18.50 and the **** didn't even offer me my change, he just put it in his tip jar, and that was 16 years ago. Change stealing ****.

Is that your lonely hearts add?
I adore London. Lived there for a year but housing is just insanely expensive.Pretty polarising subject among many blues, I expect.
Mine is a pretty complicated one.
A one day working visit on Thursday of this week, became two and I had to unexpectedly stay in central London last night. Went 'up West' for a few drinks and some food and I was struck (not for the first time) about what a ball of energy the city is. Full of incredible buildings, eccentric characters and as rich a history as any conurbation on the planet. It truly is one of the world's great cities. Whenever I go there, for the first day or so, I always feel a twinge of disappointment that I never 'made it' in London when I lived there twenty years ago. However, I've never been there for more than a couple of days and not been ready to go home, wherever that is at that particular time. It's expensive, full of itself, can be a nightmare to traverse and has an egregiously high proportion of utterly rude cunts at the best of times.
For me, it's a wonderful place to visit, but an unappealing place to live, but I understand its appeal to others, especially to the ambitious, whatever sacrifices living and working there may entail.
What's your relationship like?

Being from the South (Dubstable/Bedford). Never been that hooked on London.
Had some brilliant days/night out there. Earned some good money there. But have been
able to get the fuck out when needed. Wouldn't like to live there.

Kilburn used to be a right night out. Think that's been sold to the wannabees now.

I was actually with two locals and they chose the destination. I'd been happily slurping away in a back street boozer with the lads I'd been working with on site, but I went to meet a couple of friends who lived there and that's were they took me. Nearly had a fucking heart attack when I saw the prices.
