My Thoughts on Living in London (Part 3)

Why I love London.
I realise my past two posts, here and here, have been quite negative views on London. Don't get me wrong, I could rant all day about the place. But I wouldn't be living here unless I loved it. So today I thought I'd cheer up and write about why I love London. 

The culture. How everybody has a different story. The food selection. Never seeing anybody you know. Everyday being completely different. Always having something to do. The shopping. The fashion. The accent. The buildings. 24 hour public transport. The lifestyle. The nightlife. Discovering new places. 

I'm thinking and planning on doing a London series soon on here, like my favourite places to visit and things like that, so if you're interested in seeing that let me know.
Have a great day :)

My Thoughts on Living in London (Part 2)

Why such a lack of manners?
The second part of this feature (yes, I'm making it a feature - it won't all be rants, I promise) is going to be about a big pet peeve of mine, manners.
Why don't Londoners have manners?! Don't get me wrong this isn't aimed at everybody who lives here, but unfortunately a huge percentage.
Coming from a small town where people greet you in the morning and queue to get on the bus, the post shocking revelation when I first moved to London was how rude a lot of people are!


If you've ever visited London from outside of London you will probably know this. I'll be walking around and be barged several times without acknowledgment let a lone an apology, men will barge past me to get on the train first, I literally don't understand it.
Drawing for my previous rant, I understand London is sometimes not a nice place to be, but please try to make it a little better for those you have to face day to day.

I understand that everybody has bad days, some have terrible days, on those days especially you do not want to be faced with a busy London train station or a bus full of people, but someone may just be in the boat as you are and that being said, try to be a little nicer, we need more nice people in the world.
