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.

Exactly OddSocks. We are well 'ard in London. We stay up until midnight and all

I stay up after midnight. I'm proper crazy and hardcover

Hardcore! Why does autocorrect hate me?! I did buy a cookbook in a hardcover though.

After midnight?! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR ( as my DH would say)

Ooh which cookbook? There are a couple I want to buy

I mean hardback don't I? I swear I have a brain! Or not. What's cooler?

Brain is good, or not. Either way is fine with me

Oh I bought Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Veg Everyday which is good but don't buy the leftover cookbook, it's crap

Although we might have to consult the London hipsters on that matter

Oh fuck the hipsters (or, rather, don't fuck them) we'll be grand!

I fancy a Stanley Tucci cookbook and also we have started to really like Tom Kerridge.

I was so tempted to buy a Tom Kerridge book today! Do you know me?

DH made a lovely roast the other week based on his recipe. I fear OP will wake up tomorrow and be totally baffled how this thread has changed. Sorry OP

Hmm I don't think I know you, but in Hipster speak you are quite cool (disclaimer : I have no idea how hipsters talk, I'm not cool enough to be part of their gang )

Just popped in to say I own no homes, I rent from the council. I own 2 toilet brushes and I ate M&S cafe fish and chips today

Your welcome

I'm not cool enough either but we are like real gangsta scary people with our recipes - we could soooo attack the youths with our sausage and mash

I had fish and chips too eva join my cool cod gang.

Is South Devon like Torridge, because I'm going there for my holidays?

Check out the urban hardcover gang - having hipster parties all night long

I'm going to have chips with my tea tonight. London chips from - yay - the Seashell on Lisson Grove (discount on Mondays for rescard holders, people!).

What are we talking about again? The fact the bloody Londoners work hard, commute stupid distances, can't afford to buy a home, live in concrete, lack green soaces and fresh air, and have schools that are packed to the rafters. All that and fucking Boris fucking bikes.

London is a wonderful place, I love the diversity here, how no-one turns a hair at the unusual, how you can be yourself and not be judged.
However, house prices are astronomical, it has the highest rate of child poverty in the country and the air is so toxic it is affecting the health of the inhabitants.
The Op lives in a beautiful part of the country where she can fill her lungs without getting poisoned, where she lives has its advantages, but if she thinks everyone has a wonderful life in London what's stopping her move??
Perhaps she actually prefers where she lives

But its great to blame someone else for all your ills, and dare I say it she displays the small mindedness that is found in that part of the country that stops me ultimately returning to my roots there.

'Are you just stick people in our reality'

OP you sound like you are having some form of existential crisis.

Don't worry there's a lot of that going about

London is full of idiots who have this "me me me " attitude I know because I am one of them and anone who says they arent is a liar

OldManJenkins speak for yourself!

Hi all,

After a great many requests, we're moving the bulk of the referendum threads to the new board here.

Many of you, understandably, want to discuss this subject at length and in detail - this seems a good way to simultaneously keep AIBU and Chat moving for those who don't wish to participate. Of course, the conversations will still appear in Active.
