Yes please! Stay north! Go away! Nothing to see here, move along. Hehehe. I love that particular meme, as Dave just pointed out us southies are quite happy about it, since it keeps housing affordable. I live in a four bed semi for the same price as a one bed flat in Ealing, yet am closer to the City. > London has much nice food, but it's all expensive.

First time in London I asked people where I could get 'real english food', as opposed to pizza, thai (Hi Randal), curry (debatable if this now should be reclassified as 'real english food'), and sushi. Result was a lot of blank stares.
