Thought you said Hong Kong?!

Both are great cities bit not really global Cities with the same scale of impact on the world as London, NY, Paris (and I guess Tokyo for its size and financial power)

if paris is in there then so should berlin. the french that i speak to say that paris is nothing compared to either london or berlin, hence why so many young parisians have left paris, especially with their restricitve labour laws for the young

I fucking hate this a lot of Londoners have this strange sort of superiority complex, they think they are better than the "provincials" just because it's a major world city.

Great place to live but really expensive and there are quite a few aggy knobs about.

Most people are twats irrespective of where thier from. It not just a London thing.

I really hate it when northerners try to over compensate and just end up looking like insecure arragant fucks.
Should add that i'm a northerner. So fuck off you souther nonses..

Low blow considering Orwell wrote 1984 about London. There's CCTV everwhere now anyway, probably even more in the states?

Oyster cards are a convenient way of tracking the movements of individual Londoners each day apparently.

Of course they've got nothing to hide if they're doing nothing wrong
