Why is everything so expensive in London?

ahahahahaaaa that was funny

Shoebox flat goes for £170,000 or $335,900

nuff said.

Naww, that's just a novelty item that London millionaires want to buy so they can feel the thrill of what it's like to be a poor janitor for a day. Kinda like role-playing but without the pleasure.

The price of housing/rent/daily living costs has extended well beyond the boundaries of what used to be considered London city, though. I've been feeling the increasing pinch in Windsor. I know, living in Windsor you'd think I was posh, but there's only one family who lives in a castle round here. The rest of us are paying £11 for a coffee and a sandwich.

That's why I get practically everything from abroad off eBay. Well, not my food, but everything else. F'reals.

I deliberately used an absurd example to mock this thread.

Now I'm being lecutured by some public school girl on the property market! Jesus, some people.

One of the things I really like about London is that you need a special card to eat oysters; it keeps out both the riff and the raff. I know that Burberry wish they'd introduced a similar scheme, as does Louis Roederer. It's about keeping it exclusive, not real.

One of the things I really like about London is that it's the only place in the world whos public transport system rewards its passengers by awarding them points which can be used to dine on oysters.

Whichever.
