You know - the Anglia region - the East of England. Northampton, Milton Keynes, Norwich, Norfolk etc. All the 'country bumpkin' type areas.
God, what a bunch of po-faced whingers they are.
If you've seen Anglia News or BBC's Look East whine-a-thons lately, they've been whinging about a few inches of snow thats fallen. Yeah, it snowed - get over it! Russia deal with far worse on a daily basis. It hasn't snowed here in Northampton, though. Oh no. No drifting snow causing chaos here. Because that would be remotely interesting. And nothing remotely interesting EVER happens in Northampton.
Prior to the snow, they were whining about the floods they've had in recent years. Sorry, but if you buy houses that are built on flood plains, EXPECT TO GET FLOODED! It's not rocket science. Though it may as well be for as far as this region is concerned.
And in the summer, if it's hot and dry for a few months, they'll be whining about the "drought" and the hosepipe bans it brings.
They're never happy unless they're whining about something!
Jeez, I hate this region and everything it stands for. Let's face it, any region that considers concrete cows to be a landmark needs serious help.
*Puts straw in mouth*
Oo-arr! Now where did oi leave me tractor...

Genuine Londoners are (mostly) friendly people. But there are very few Londoner's left in London these days, though!
Find another Londoner here in Northampton and they always want to talk!

10 Basic Street Rules in London:
1) Avoid all confrontation - you never know who has a gun and is crazy
2) Avoid eye contact, for the same reason
3) If something strange happens, keep going on your way, and do nothing
4) Get wherever you have to as fast as you can
5) Don't talk to anyone unless you know them. Even then it's risky
6) Say as little as possible
7) Don't draw attention to yourself
8) Keep notes in your shoes, or in a concealed place
9) Never use your mobile in public (if you still have one)
10) If you don't know exactly how to get where you are going on public transport, buy a travelcard, but make sure you don't ask anybody's help, because they won't tell you the truth.

In my experience, Londoners tend to avoid each other at all costs and though their lifestyles may be fast, they seem to lack something of a caring nature.
I prefer the friendly areas where you are recognised by the shop-keeper (for the right reasons, not because your picture's on the wall behind the counter) and people smile and say hello in the streets.
Still, each to their own.

That's my point. There was fair warning about it, and not to travel in it.
These are the sort of people who sue McDonalds because their polystyrene cup with "WARNING: CONTENTS HOT" on the side actually contains hot liquid, which they scald themselves with as they pull away from the drive-through with it open in their lap.
Why were the gritters not out? They were warned not to travel! ;-p

I would love to, and I plan to one day - back towards London, and among people who actually give off some signs of being alive and having more important things to worry about than a few inches of snow!
But it takes money to do that, and that's something I don't have at the moment.

Pfft...
All that stuff smacks of jealousy Wookiee.
East Anglia is a cool place to live - especially here in sunny Suffolk - none of them silly hills to worry about, lovely beaches, and errmm - oh yeah - trees and all that other scenery type stuff, and don't forget the Tractor Boys themselves !
All that whinging on the news about the snow is just daft - they told people it was coming and going to be bad and to keep of the roads but they didn't and then they have to blame someone else for the fact that lorries jacknife - nothing to do with them driving to fast in the conditions at all was it - If they will let half wits drive lorries then what do they expect, and yes in my job I do know how stupid some of those lorry drivers are ! If the council grit too early the lorries throw it off the road and it doesn't work - and as they havn't five thousand gritters availiable at a minutes notice then there is no chance of covering every bit of road at the same time - ignorant moaning whingers !
You know you want to live here really !!
