Nope. People are great - but as a city


Food - average

Architecture - very average

Boozing - good

Night life except boozing - average


Far better places in Ireland

Well challenged - the title definitely specified 'popular'.

Annoying popular anthems that you're expected to 'dance' to as part of a group at parties, punching the air and shouting the lyrics-


"Born in the USA, I was borrrn in the USA..."


"It's up to yooo New York, New Yorrrrrrk"


No. Just feck off.

I've put up with them occasionally over the years but never really 'got' them. They appear to be from another planet.

Having said that, most people think I'm from another planet too so that's probably why...:)


Louisa, that Cilla tv series starring Sheridan Smith was brilliant. I thought she came across as rather nice.

isn't hating quinoa because it's faddish amongst rather tedious middle class types like hating rice because, you know, wops...or chinks or something....?


It's a grain, or a pulse, or something, a traditional object of ire, fecking wheat, splitters...or was that the Bulgars (baddam tish)? anyway it's small and round, like hundreds and thousands but less pink.

Nandos.


I love chicken and spicy food, but I can never get excited about going to Nandos. The chicken is okay at best but generally just mediocre, the chips are appalling and their rice concoction thing that I have tried as a substitute is distinctly average.

    • Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.
    • Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
    • Please let me know if anyone is selling a Hemnes daybed in the near future. Thanks 
    • Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
