london and it's history

tonylondon · 05-29-06, 02:58 PM

London has an estimated population of 7.5 million (as of 2005) and a metropolitan area population of between 12 and 14 million. London has an extremely cosmopolitan population, drawing from a diverse range of peoples, cultures and religions, speaking over 300 different languages. Residents of London are referred to as Londoners.

Cool. A lot of new information. Thanks.

I did not know that London in Canada is that big.

I prefer to think of this as a "test post" by a newly registered member. Otherwise my head would boil out of trying to find the connection between ity and the PA forum...:p

I'll move this to general topics and let's see if someone finds that connection :hmm:

I'm sure that if you look anywhere in London, probably down Camden, you'd find someone from the Pacific region, so there's your link.
Course, by the time you found anyone in Camden you'd probably have been knifed/mugged/held at gunpoint (please delete as appropriate) but if you've been down Camden market...it's worth it

Just...stay in the daylight hours and you're alright

And now some real facts about London.

Dirty
Disgusting
Rip Off
Expensive
Guarantee to pick up some sort of bug
Polluted
Guarantee to give you a headache
Transport a bloody joke and a bad one at that
Smells
Ken Livingstone Mayor of London (Need I say anymore about him)

And those are the facts from me when I commuted to London.

Steed,

I'm glad that you're not working for the London Tourism office.

Well it's all true sorry to say.

Ok, I'm evacuating the city now.

/agree

Look at the Underground, and you think delays are mandatory in any train service.

Look at the NYC Subway, and you think defecation is mandatory in any train carriage.

Well I have over the years witness many blokes taking a leak on the platform and not just on the Northern Line.

But hey, it's the best looking one. and clean and tidy..though maybe not always safe.
