We are the Champions, My Friend!

The same as they think about people who live in any part of the country or world. We are all different so how can you label everyone the same.
I was born in London so think Londoners are great on the whole but like most places, some are and some are not.

They walk around carrying umbrellas even when the sky is perfectly clear. When it does start to rain around 5:30 pm, they whip out their umbrellas and walk in unison, faces bowed to the ground, towards the 'tube'. They are generally a cheerful lot but they never let you know that. They don't mind paying double what everyone else in the world pays as they live in 'the city'.


Londoners will generally enjoy a nice long lunch at the local pub or restaurant provided they can cover it on company credit. They are more likely to go to work with a prepared lunch in a bag which usually consisting of a herring buttie with sliced apple. This will conveniently fit into their briefcases providing they exert enough pressure and finesse so as not to make a mess of their copy of 'The London Times'.

Most of them stay inside during business hours except for their overpaid support staff that usually rummage around the shops, trying to find something new to wear, usually a fashion mistake that they can only be caught wearing at some underground goth party on a friday or saturday night.

Many of them are devout christians, going to church on weekends even though the Anglican Church is slowly becoming an anachronism as a result of the popularity of Christ like figures in the media such as David Bowie, the late John Lennon, and the ubiquitous (and stone dead) Freddie Mercury.

If they are lucky, once a month they will be invited to a country estate for the weekend where they can exercise their skill at shooting wild game birds and perhaps try some of the more expensive brands of cigars and alcohol. In fact they can usually get totally smashed and throw up all over their guest suite without annoying the owner as the manor staff will always look after such incidents with propriety and secrecy provided you give them an extra 20 pounds for their efforts.

It beats doing the same at home for some Earls Court drunken layabout that, in missing the last train on a sunday morning, decides to use your front stoop as his personal biffy.

My best friend is a London who speaks English with the best accent. I don't know if she's typical of Londoners or not. I hope she is!

Each Londoner is different, I don't want to generalise. however I do know people who are very hostile towards Londoners saying they're full of themselves etc.

If I really said what I thought I would probably get banned from this site for life, but to keep it clean they are a bunch of drug addicted low lifes and the world would be a lot better place if it was wiped off the map.

They're Ok really. AlthoughI remember hearing a joke about them years ago which goes: "You can always tell a Londoner...but you can never tell him much."
