can1,
i live in London and it doesnt get me down.
it's not the best city in the world...neither is Birmingham.
reason why the majority of people who work in London dont live there is because its the capital city and the financial centre of the country....if you've ever travelled outside the UK you'll find this is common practice across the globe...not just limited to London, people travel to where the work is.
most people who earn more than the average wage in Wolverhampton commute to Birmingham to work, does that make Birmingham a sh** city?...you go figure.

@can1 Yes, I've only been visiting London, but that is exactly what FunkyFish is going to do as well. You know visiting, as in staying there for a short period of time, tourist, as in seeing the sights, catching the atmosphere, finding out what makes the city famous. Going on holiday, relaxing and having a good time. You are not a very good advertisment for London, are you? Every city has bad things. Why not tell FunkyFish about the good things London has to offer and make him look forward to go there?

I've been going to university in London for the past 3 years and I love it there.
It has everything you could possibly want in a city and a capital.
As with all places it has negatives, but the they are far outweighed by its positives.
London is not that expensive unless you are buying property, which I doubt Funky-Fish will be doing as a tourist!
Anyway hope you have fun in the UK Funky-Fish!
Try and stay clear of Birmingham tho!

Methinks I have touched a raw nerve! Did I say that I thought Birmingham was the best city?.. NO. I just stated that the people in London compared to the people in Manchester and Birmingham were not as friendly and I stand by that comment.
As for people commuting from Wolverhampton to Birmingham, big deal. A very high percentage of the people who live in Birmingham WORK in it. You can't say that for London at all.
I'm sure you think London is a great place but for the rest of us outside of the M25, which is the rest of the UK in case you didn't know, you don't get charged the ridiculous prices for anything as you do in London. The BBC itself has been criticised for being London centric so I guess that speaks for itself....
As for any other Londoners then enjoy yourself trying to commute the 60 plus miles to work on the train/tube if it's running
Long live the REST of the UK!!!
P.s Try not to take yourself and this too seriously, I know it's hard but if we can't have a laugh then life isn't worth living, even in the smog....

And then, just for the record, and those who does not know London, M25 is...??? See what I mean? I know what it is, but I guess there is quite a few out there who didn't know it's the motor/high way around London.

On the contrary I went to London and I made quite a few friends there. I was relaying what they had told me and they said living in London gets them down sometimes amongst other things, which I'm sure everyone feels like wherever they live sometimes.
Yes Nokia suck, I bet you own one...hmmmmm....
P.s. Don't take it personally. The smog has that effect on people I believe.
