    you sir, must be a very odd gentleman indeed; and I think you should not spend so much time in just one shop, it can't be healthy.

    If you didn't have East London down as your location, I'd expect to bump into you in Deptford High Street tomorrow morning.

    Something about cycling around the East End on an empty stomach at lunchtime is sheer torture. I want to get off the bike, knock on a door, and beg for a bit of their lunch because it smells so good. It drives me mad. It's probably just as unbearable in parts of the Midlands, but as people in the Midlands rarely seem to write on forums (I think it's a vortex of some kind) we'll never know.

    There is a downside yes - totally agree. but your post and a number of others try to deny the upside ... which frankly is just bollocks.

    Well I think you are being unfair but if I have given the impression London doesn't have an upside then I'm happy to apologise. My intention was to make the point that what is considered an upside differs from person to person.

    If it comes to talking bollocks though the claim that Frankie and Benny's is the only place to eat outside of the M25 has to be up there.

    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    Simples, I was born here and always feel strange when i'm outside of London.

    Yes, it has MANY problems and to the outsider can look/feel intimidating but for me anyway your survival instincts kick in and usually keep you safe. Although the knife muggings are something that does worry me, especially as i'm more likely to flip and tell them to fcuk off rather then hand over my items.

    London is just about the safest capital city in the world.

    Try walking around any large South American city with a watch, wallet and backpack to see how long you can keep them.

    4 people from my company have been mugged in Buenos Aires this year. All these were folk from London with no idea how to act in a 'dangerous' city, me included :) Anyone who thinks London is a dangerous city needs to travel more.
