There is no point owning a car when you live in central London, but the downside is to experience on a daily basis the feral behaviour on public transport, which has unquestionably got worse due to mass immigration. Many of the new arrivals don’t know how to behave, or understand societal norms. Just one example that shared with @ElfsborgAddick at the time. I was sitting on a busy bus, and two foreign workers from German Doner kebab got on with bags of stolen kebabs. They sat down, and then proceeded to lay out a feast on the two seats opposite them. Smelly wraps, kebabs, chips …the lot ….oblivious to the fact they were sitting on a busy London bus. I intervened at this point and politely told them this was not acceptable. One in fairness started to pack the food up, but the other repeated “I don’t care”, to which my reply was that he would care when I reported his employer to the Home Office the next day. His understanding of English miraculously improved as this point. It’s time that ordinary law abiding Londoners started pushing back against this type of feral behaviour.
My advice would be drive if you can afford it, despite the ridiculous fines, cameras, 20mph dual carriageways... But don't get a Chelsea tractor. Plenty of very nice hatch or estate cars around these days. Really economical engines too. Your travelling experience will be 100 times nicer, external frustrations aside.
With me back in the capital of the Garden of England next March, can Kojak and Ginger tell me of how things have changed in what would have been 18 months since I was last there.
