Goodbye to rip-off Britain

Quote from magari:

101 things to pss you off about England/London

11. That today I had to pay £1 for a fkg courgette and it will probably taste like a cardboard egg carton.

I love it, great list Victor Meldrew :D
 
Quote from magari:

9. The fact that my 50% tax gets me the right to go into hospital and have a 60% chance of catching a superbug.

16. That I have to pay for people who get sick because they eat or smoke themselves into a coma.

19. That the Daily Mail is still going.

Watch Michael Moore's 'Sicko', you'll feel a tiny bit happier living in a socialist country.

As to the Daily Fail, at least you can tell if someone's a complete coont when they say they read it :p
 
I am an American. I drive a Toyota.
I would like 3 things, please.
A good night's uninterrupted sleep.
A really good cup of coffee when I awake.
Not sure about the 3rd.
Are these available in GB?

"coont"? You Brits need to translate so that we Yanks get your humor...
 
The thing I found funniest about my visit their last summer, for a week, was that the reader boards on the tube were projecting wrong info all the time! :p Even the locals couldn't make sense of it. I almost missed my flight at Heathrow due to it.

Other than that a nice, albeit expensive, place to visit. Ppl are more proper than in the US, kind of funny and nice the same.

It's friendly slang for an American

At least that's what I was told when I was there:eek:
 
Quote from cabletrader:

This is a useful site http://www.net-lettings.co.uk/, it gives areas and average rents in and around London. For GBP750 you don't need to move that far away from Central London, just the other side of the Thames to the City (Greenwich Village is a very nice area, near the Millenium Dome, very cosmopolitan, middle of the map on the right, just under the green line which is the Thames. The City is around Canary Wharf) you can easily get a flat (apartment) within your price range. If sharing isn't a problem there are some great shares available too, maybe hook up with a couple of traders (or tradesses!)

What are you planning to do, is it a working holiday or maybe you're a full-time trader?

Or you could always stay in Scotland, for £750 you could probably rent a whole town, eh Jock :)

It would just be a long vacation, for a year or so. Wife and I would just get an apartment around London and then travel 2 weeks each month to different cities around Europe.

I'm hoping that it's not a bunch of hoops to jump through for an American to get an apartment in England?

Dang! Doesn't sound like that COULD be "friendly". They need to let go from that Revolutionary war thingy. :D
