It Appears Londoners can't...

[Augustus]

I've long thought that on the whole Londoners can't walk in straight lines, ride bikes safely, drive. But now it appears they have lost the ability to understand that there are other places outside London and that those other places might just suffer the problems London faces but worse because there is no infrastructure to speak of.

:roll:

Just been told by a Londoner that I am lucky where I live (not london) because i don't have to wait 20 mins for a bus because it's icey.

A comment I replied to with a local observation of 'What's a bus?"

It's a foot deep and whole villages are housebound with no power after two days out in the sticks where I Live in the Beautiful South. :roll:

And before Londoners come on defending their fellow city dwellers cocooned opinions, I should say I was born and bred in London. I have been there, I was in 'Nam. (Twicken'nam).

Can I suggest that my govt stops spending my tax on wars that nobody actualy wants and starts spending it on gritting machines instead?

perhaps we could re-appropriate the lines of 'downed' Apaches they bought but can't work out how to use by attaching gritting machines to the undercarriage of them and flying them about clearing pavements and roads?

:roll:

Fill the machine guns with sand

It's a conspiracy , make it so cold it snows so all the roads can be covered in salt , giving the motor industry a boost when everybodys cars rust .

:shock: There is a world out side of London :shock: I thought the country was London. And any thing out side was not important :roll: A bit like how the USA looks on the world.
P.S.

Well I was born and bread in Yorkshire, where contarary to a recent report that appeard on national news proclaiming that 8" of snow was more than this area had seen for 20+ years, we do actually get snow fom time to time. Indeed this photo is from 2004 within 10 miles of the location the report came from

Now I find myself in London, I am amazed at how little it takes to grind the place to a virtual stop. I was sent home from work on tuesday afternoon, not because it was snowing, but because there was reports that it was going to snow. Sent home because of the fear that at some point it may snow. When the event came we had a 2 cm dusting.

In fairness 2 of my seniors live out in Oxford where it has been pretty hard hit. But the fact I find myself sat alone in the office today whilst the Londoners I work with are all working from home claiming they are unable to get in strikes me as madness.

I once got an unlicensed cab to drive my friends and I from Kings X back to north Hertfordshire, it was 4am and we couldn't be bothered to wait for the first train.

He'd never been out of London and as we drove through rural Hertfordshire and he saw all the farmland, he turned to me and remarked 'wow, you must eat a lot of fresh fruit & veg' :roll:

Every time some one says this, this is all I can think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo

Being a licensed cabby - People get cabs rather than risk their own crappy cars. I have been very busy...

London is a foreign place to me, psychologically a world away yet barely an hours drive away.
