Re: London is a Country?
This is the reason London has gone downhill. Ever since they built the chunnel British culture has been undermined by baguettes, gastro-pubs and street-dining. In the good old days you would order (very bad) dry, medium or sweet wine, but now most bars have a winelist. You can even buy decent red wine by the glass. I blame the French for this and also for all the outdoor cafe culture. Bloody foreigners.Barang_doa_slae wrote:London is actually France's 4th largest city with something like 3 or 400000 living in it.

Maybank is an international bank, it has lots of khmer staffs but to miss that leaves much to ridicule. But take it as a compliment, if london is a country, then england is a continent!!!

Haha, In the late 90's I picked up a very pretty waitress working at the "café rouge" in Weybridge. It was a french style café chain but since it was still the early days of our invasion I must still have appeared to her as the real mac coyAnchor Moy wrote:This is the reason London has gone downhill.

Sorry to say it's not the French you shoud blame for the outside cafe culture, but the Americans again. They were the ones who pushed their team America no smoking policies.Anchor Moy wrote:This is the reason London has gone downhill.

London has always been a distinct entity for many hundreds of years now. Whenever anyone conquered England, they always had to work a deal out as far as London was concerned. One could argue that London has never been conquered because of these separate negotiated settlements. Come on, it's where lawyers originally came from.

London is a country as much as Wales and Scotland is.
Luxembourg on the other hand, now that's a real country.
