    Are Londoners a bunch of self-centered insular thickos?

    Londoners seem to think that the whole of the country should know all the minutiae of the vile city they call home. What makes them so self-absorbed that they think minor details of assorted neighbourhoods in one small area of this country should be common knowledge to all?

          Yes.

          That's because London is great and we should all know everything about it.

            SASguru's back passage is well known to the inhabitants of Soho
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Which has a bar called Moriarty's?

                Who also wrote some books on "Police Law"?

                Which isn't worth a flying fig (pig - Shirley)!
