the people in poverty are working too, even propped up by tax credits.
Rent is a joke, £1600/pm for a shiity two bed flat, cant belive this fucking festering dump is worth £800k
Even outside London is expensive now, so comminuting takes 4 hrs a day, get home at 8pm, up at 5am and do the rate race.
Fuck it, you can only live in London for so long, its unbelievably stressful.
Aye, I wish we had more Americans in the UK, I've only ever seen a few who are airman at the local base, great people.
Dont get me wrong, I love Europe and the UK, the history here is everywhere, everything seems to have some significance, London has to be seen to be believed, the museums, the castles, the palaces.
Its why its so expensive here, you really feel history here, you're reminded of it every day, My old town, in the middle of nowhere where next to my house I have a WW2 pillbox, next to that is a manmade hill from the dark ages, across from that is a statue of Thomas Paine, our local traitor, and follow the old roman road to the Saxon village of the Iceni, where Boudicca is from.
Justa small town in norfolk in the middle of a forest by dripping in history. London and some other cities exceed this.
