Because I make an effort I find London very friendly..

how about you

[anorak]

Yes when I used to live in Cricklewood there were a lot of things about it that were similar to living in a village. The shopkeepers were very friendly and remembered you by name. I liked the mix of racial origins and the way everyone blended together.

and strangers talk to me and my children on the street .. it helps, I find, if you smile pleasantly and give people some of your time
