As what you probably would call a 'normal' Londoner, I maintain your opinion is wrong. If you take out Kensington and Chelsea, Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Finchley, you're still left with Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Tottenham, Acton, Hammersmith - need I go on? The highly affluent areas can be named almost on one hand. Look at where people really live, their real lives, and your opinion of London is inaccurate.

As I said I would have said that the contract now exists between you and my child - wanna go to court and see what they have to say.

And I know a would as grotty little pushy salespeople are my all-time pet hate.

Cripes what rubbish, what is this 'best people' lark? Wannabes who vanish down the dumper never to be seen again? Anybody can get a job there. Do you know just how many people leave London because the quality of life in the rest of the UK is so much superior. A lot. The astronomical cost of living is not compensated for by a wage that, in most professions, is only marginally higher than in other major UK cities.

I don't like that Natalie. It took her a long time to "hold her hand up".

Yes, one of the poorest boroughs in the country. The only reason it isn't the poorest is because of the luxury flats in the Docklands. You go away from these areas and it really is poverty, and if you can't see that you're walking around with your eyes closed.

If you are the best designer you will work in London, if you are the best solicitor you will work in London, if you are the best architect you will work in London, if you are the best economist you will work in London ...

And somone looking for the best person in his/her trade to hire will turn to London to find them.

Have you got it in for her because of the labels... I don't like personal.

It's NOT personal. Not doing what you are told, messing up the labels and costing sales is BUSINESS not personal.

You are just spouting pompus nonsense now I'm afraid, and what you've just said is wrong. It's also the reason why others in the rest of the UK accuse people in London of saying the world stops outside the M25.
