Paging Sweller - signallers strike

I think it is different. All the run down parts of London are still part
of a vibrant capital and world city. The provinces lack that vibrancy -
it just felt "less" and the people seemed to be "put upon".

I don't recall saying that nowhere in London was run down.

 

I can't imagine that in a weekend wedding anniversary visit you visited
the depths of malaise in Hackney or Peckham. Poor Mrs Sales if you did!
I struggle to think of anywhere near Regents Park that can be described
as run down.

Not been to Solihull but you don't exactly have to get far from the
absolute centre of Birmingham with its shiny new shopping centre to see
dereliction and decay. I travelled through miles of it yesterday.

 

well, not "run down" as such, but Somers Town is a bit shit.
