I detest london with a passion. and the fat useless mayor's transport system is absolutely useless. I wish i'd brought the car in, would have been far quicker.

and my boogies will be black tonight as well

[Dazzler]

I think you might have before
I take it you have had a mare of a journey then Jaime.....

[HolyCount]

I completely and totally agree with you TB --- know all about those boogies too ( not specifically YOURS, I might add!).

[albitz]

my daughter has decided that the best form of transport in london is her feet ,she now walks from work in the square mile ,home to the east end .the tubes/buses are intolerable.

i now have to go into the city at least once a week from epsom.....
1.5 hours in and 2 hours out.....totally rather stupid

and don't get me going on the cost

Despite living in Lincs, my gaffer loves sending me to London. Disregarding Livingstones ill thought congestion charge it's no harder to navigate than any other city, just a bit more of it. If you start with the North/ South circular (A406) the rest falls into place...easy.
   Hanger Lane gyratory can take a while in an artic as can the Woolwich ferry if it's only running one way. The East India Dock road is a nightmare for impossible to find addresses, but Putney bridge (nr. Fulham Hi Gary!!) is pleasant to drive over en route to Wimbledon.
   Maybe i have an unfair advantage???

[HolyCount]

I avoid it like the plague -- and NEVER drive there!  For the few places I visit ( Buck House / Westminster / Mallish areas all tourist spots !) I use "shank's pony" -- far quicker !

[amigov6]

Any of you with a misspent youth will understand my nostalgia. I misspent mine in London & Sussex so know some of it pretty well but i appreciate those who have to work in the congestion zone. Is Westminster worth it?

i agree hate the place, had to photograph the 3 mayoral candidates last week all being interviewed live on beeb radio 9-10am. Everyone in place 8.45 & muppet livingstone turned up 9.30, his excuse was he came on public transport, thats why he was late

I hate the city as well. Had to go to Truro the other day, I've never known it so busy.  

[tunnie]

guess who commutes to london from the midlands!  

[VXL V6]

In my last job I used to have to drive to London and back 4 - 5 days a week (sometimes twice in one day when called out again in the middle of the night), I didn't have a choice but to drive as the boot of the car carried all the tools and spare parts I needed for all the various sites.

I guess it's stuck with me now because I will never use public transport whatever the penalty imposed for driving a car in the capital. Even now (10 years later) I still know London better than Birmingham!

You just wouldn't understand the pressure of the metropolis that is Truro. They've even got one of those new fangled multi-story car parks. It's a bit tight for all the Masseys and John Deeres on market day though.
