Most of my friends who have left are not originally from London. They don't have roots and family here. I won't lie, we are really struggling financially right now living here, and that's with a relatively low rent (although ?1100 will never be cheap in my book), but both me and my wife are from here and our kid's grandparents are here, and there is a part of both of us that just doesn't want to be pushed out because of money. Money fucking sucks!
