I am shaktiman currently living in North London(but it is actually Hertferdshire) in a place called Edgware.erm, I don't know of any Apple dealers except to say that John Lewis do provide Apple support & they are located either in Watford or in Brent Cross(I don't mean they alternate their locality I mean they exist in both places)(& I don't know why Brent is cross though over the past few weeks we have had complete gridlock around Brent Cross about 5 times, due to the following:-
Too many shoppers?
Snow!(it gets us every time)
& an accident on the A41.
Yes we do understand why Brent is cross I think.
London is everything is is said to be ie:-
Dirty
Overcrowded
Polluted
The streets are said to be paved with gold, well yes there is more money here to be found & worked for, than in Derby.
We have a firefighters stike at the moment & there are loadsa warnings for ppl to be "more careful", but London news goes on about this more than National news & you really get a sense of a "London mentality" & that the city remembers the Great Fire of London. & why was the great fire of london great?, ahh cos it was in "Great Britain".
You may all be able to tell that I am not a Londoner born & bred & that I feel little or no loyalty to the place.
It is a strange place if you have lived elsewhere & you do look aghast at the people who think "they have it made" & all because they have a huge rectangular lump of concrete for a shopping centre(they even call it "the Mall") & they drive at 50Mph down thier tiny winding roads, these little places which London is swallowing up were just not made for such a thing.
Well I think thats my lot, cheers catsdorule for helping me to get that off my chest I feel like a great weight has been lifted.
One last thing to make us all double up in perplexity, we have a new digital broadcasting service here in the UK. We have a channel called UKTV, & this plays? Rikki Lake & other American programs, I really am scared of this odd obsession. Is it that a large part of America wants to control the UK or is it that a large part of the UK think that they are American, I refer my right honourable friends to "The Levellers" & these song lines:-
"were just the 51st state of America,
The Union Jack of which we were proud
is now the star spangled Union Jack of a merry patriotic crowd,
They tip thier hat to the Yankie conquerers
& now we know how to clean our teeth or strip down a gun"
