      75% of our laws come from London.

      Time to get OUT!

      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I only know the turist perspective but I don't mind to have an experience of living in London.

          London is a wonderful city. But you need to be rich to live there full-time, I reckon - visiting the place you can stay in the centre and wander through the parks but in reality you wouldn't be living in those bits

            I missed London when I stopped working there. In the same I would miss an enormous boil on my left buttock.

              That article must be tongue in cheek. Either it's having a laugh or the author has disappeared up her own/London's arse.

              1/ You'll miss it - it's a comfort bubble; that's common for anyone leaving anyway.
              2/ Other places are weird - so is London.
              3/ You'll run out of people to date - slag
              4/ and sleep with - slag
              5/ It'll be even harder to come back - pure speculation but if you've left, you'll probably not want to go back
              6/ Public transport - buses randomly stop in London and tell you all to get off. The driver wouldn't get away with that elsewhere
              7/ You'll need a car - you'll have the freedom of a car that you can drive at more than an average 10mph
              8/ The food won't taste as good - you'll become a less pretentious person but can still get your Byron or Hawksmoor fix elsewhere
              9/ Because London can surprise you in beautiful ways - she's running out of reasons
              10/ And because honestly you're really needed here - yep, definitely run out of reasons

              London's good and London's bad and so are plenty of other places. People in London just seem too busy. Running for a tube when they're every 2 minutes - what's all that about?
              The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

                  You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.
