I took my boys to London a few years ago. Believe you me, it's a foreign **** hole. I've vowed never to go back, you can't understand shop assistants etc . because their English is that bad. London is the **** hole capital of the UK.
Yeah, London is a world city, why should London cater for you and your wants and needs if you can't handle or understand the locals? You want Chinese food at 5 am, we've got it. You want the best guitars on Earth, London seems to be selling them. You want culture, London's got it. World city Baby, not for people who want an all white all English city. Far from it, went to New York City, was struck by how much it felt like London (which I wasn't expecting, but found, some 3, 000 miles away), I don't know or care what you were expecting, but London is what you got when you came here.
There's a reason why it doesn't go Los Angeles, New York City, Doncaster, Paris, Tokyo... Just saying, don't come to London expecting one thing and then be pissed because it's not what you thought, just be thankful this crappy culture country has a world city. I grew up with concord in the skies right.
I'm from Leicester, when I went school I was the only white kid in my year at school bet none of you had that experience. I can swear in both Urdu and Gujarati just like all my teachers could! Indian kids weren't happy when they found that the teachers understood, lol. The Sunday morning 5am curry (Before 24 hour drinking only the curry houses sold beer after hours, illegally of course.) was a rite of passage in the mid 90's for anyone in the Midlands.
''We have more in common than that which divides us'' I grew up in a little village called Old Dalby a few miles from Leicester. We used to play ''spot the white guy'' driving through the city before it became un-PC to do it.
You mean next to Nether Broughton lol! Small world. My brother worked in Nether Broughton, in the big building on the main road. I know Old Dalby very well, pub was crap
That's nothing I grew up with a 737 on the motorway. Less than 1/2 mile from my Nan's house, it was 2 days after my Bday I had been unwrapping presents just an hour before, we heard it coming down and then the crash. Remember it like it was yesterday. Police cordoned the fields off so we never could get close.
Been to London many times, the last when I was in 6th form, that was mid 80's. Went just a few years ago. What a **** hole. If you want to experience culture, it's called a holiday. How about experiencing English culture but you won't find it in ****hole London.
I hate to think what it looks like now. I've not been back for over 40 years. It was literally ''all fields when I was a kid''
I'll get you a pic next time I'm up that way. My friend own Lodge farm which is 4 miles away, so shouldn't be too long Last time you visited was probably before I was born lol, 1977
Maybe you should have visited the museums instead of cowering in the corner because you saw someone wearing a headscarf.
