Blimey, we've been rumbled ! Everyone outside my fabled city has discovered that our streets truly are paved with gold, and that a two bed flat in
Benfleet is more expensive than a two bed flat in Chiswick.
I'll just sit back and watch the mad rush of rustics wanting to move to dirt cheap London, I don't think.
perhaps dirty harry would like to put up a good arguement for justifying london weighting, we can gather that it is just as expensive too live elsewhere so why do you deserve it.

I do, mate. But I'm not odd, a little quirky perhaps, but definitely not odd.
The London Pride in 'The Princess Royal' by Brentford's ground is a nice drop though.
Crikey, I haven't been round that way for years. I can't remember if I was in "the Princess Royal", but I seem to recall having a decent pint of
bitter in "The Beehive". The London Pride in my local is like bleedin' dishwater, and is £3 a pint as well!
