To suggest Londoners stay in London

[FloatIsRechargedNow]

You voted differently to where I live - by a huge margin. In your newspapers that you write (in London) you have said over the years how much you contribute to our local economy through your second homes and buy to let investments. But you refuse to live here permanently. I don't have to ask you why - you already know.

The last fishing boat in my town only left 3 weeks ago - hopefully they can come back and when they do, we will be enjoying the 'catch of the day', not you, so you can go back to London and wax lyrical or make some money describing it.

chippy much? 'normal' people without second homes live in London too y'know...

[ghostyslovesheep]

again - why are the people who 'won' the vote so angry and defensive - you won - have a cake and chill out

[User543212345]

Is this an example of the "ordinary" people who won the referendum?

If so I'm glad we're extraordinary.

[Grilledaubergines]

I'm always intrigued as to what those who don't visit London think it's actually like. You do realise it's not champagne swilling, each housing, gold card flashing ecstasy don't you?

We have the same issues as everywhere else in the country. Housing problems, massive areas of poverty, joblessness, homelessness, you name it.

Get the chip off your shoulder and stop thinking and behaving like a silly fool.

[Just5minswithDacre]

No thanks.

[RustyPaperclip]

You what?!

[WorraLiberty]

I live in London

I have never written in a newspaper

I have never said anything over the years about how much I contribute to the economy.

I don't own a second home.

I am not a landlord.

I live here permanently.

You seem very good at making your mind up about things, without checking any facts at all....

[TheRealAdaLovelace]

" But you refuse to live here permanently. "

yes there is a reason for that......all these lovely picturesque places are OK for a week or two but after that you realise they are full of nasty rednecks, and take a fast train back to civilisation.

[originalmavis]

Got enough chips to go with that fish?

[RustyPaperclip]

Echoing Worra here, I have always lived in London and none of your post applies to me. Stereotypes don't help anyone

[sunnydayinmay]

Careful what you wish for. London may decide to leave the UK...

[RustyPaperclip]

Mavis

[FuzzyWizard]

Wait... I have a second home? Could you send me some directions or something so that I know where to go on the next bank holiday weekend.

[AskBasil]

Oh fuck off

I don't live in London but I voted the way Londoners did.

Most Londoners aren't small-town incomer and second homers and the problems second-homers cause, are not the fault of the EU.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

[OddSocksHighHeels]

You what?

I live in London. I'm far from rich. I did have fish for dinner though.

[Just5minswithDacre]

Stereotypes don't help anyone

It's national stereotype week Rusty, haven't you noticed?

[RustyPaperclip]

Ooh do all us Londoners get second homes then? Count me in!

[Just5minswithDacre]

A lot of Londoners will be gob smacked to learn they own a first home, come to think of it

[RustyPaperclip]

Haha Just, very true but I have been trying to avoid it all by sticking my head in the sand. What is done is done and I don't blame anyone

[Helmetbymidnight]

Who on earth sold property to those stinking Londoners?

Oh...

[OddSocksHighHeels]

Oh, I reread - YANBU, I will stay in London. You didn't think we all had a plan to leave London and invade the surrounding areas did you?

[RustyPaperclip]

Exactly Just, the idea of owning one home is bloody fantastic, but to learn I have two is amazing

[M00nUnit]

As a Londoner, can I just say what the fuck are you wittering on about OP?

[JassyRadlett]

Where's my second home? Is it in Dorset? I bloody love Dorset but isn't practical for work and family reasons.

Oh, I just checked. No second home. Dammit, Just a mortgage on a modest semi and the usual bills most folk have. Like about 95% of Londoners.
