Pity those Londoners

The United Kingdoms of :-

LONDON, England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland

Not necessarily in that order but always LONDON first.

I am sure Londoners will appreciate your sympathy as you clearly have no perception of how difficult it is to get to work in London without public transport. Using a car, which most people outside London would use, is not an option. If the Underground is not working buses can't make up the capacity. Even within London it can take a hour to get to work when everything is working so not much fun for all those people responsible for providing a quarter of the UK's wealth? As for people moaning about it perhaps we all would if our jobs were at risk?

Strangely enough, we who don't live in London just get on with our lives when difficulties occur. There is always a way round transport challenges as has been seen year after year.in the rest of the country. We can all adapt to a temporary break in routine  

Seemingly not in London.

Amen too that

Actually, I always have had pity for those Londoners. Nothing on God's earth would be a big enough incentive for me to go and live and work there. But having said that, for most of us it's a good job that millions do!

And of course those who do not live in London and who have visited London,must have been walking round with their eyes closed if they think that living and working in the Capital City is a no different from being in the "other" areas of country,when just one of the ,10 Terminal stations has nearly 100,000,000 passengers per year as there are not just one or two terminal stations as is the case in all other parts of the country 

Indeed, LONDON is different from the rest of the country. If you asked me I would say it was stupid being that way, but many generations have chosen to live like that and lots of people now see it as "normal".

Ten Terminal Stations?  Any terminal station? Any station?  Any railway?  not here.   Oh, and most of the buses go to the town on either side, apart from the occasional random one that turns up with a destination further afield.

Any time I have been in LONDON I have shocked the locals I'm working with by WALKING to places.
