    Don't you just love visiting this theme park at the end of the M1. (NOT) Even if we had caught the train yesterday, the price would have been three times what we paid, it would have taken me 1 1/2 to 2 hours to travel across England's answer to Disneyland instead of the 3 hours it did via car, and I d have had to put up with the arrogant ignorant people who now love to call themselves Londoners at first hand for a full day of my life. Oh I can't wait for OUR Olympics to begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Incidentally I reckon I have a solution to the problems we currently have in our newspapers. Simply 'nuke' London and there would be no Sun and Daily Mail readers left in the world

    Sorry to disillusion you mate but having moved from London to the South Coast I can tell you that the average daily mail reader is alive and spouting rubbish down here too. And 'saarff' of the river (Thames) is always dodgy territory..........

    That shirt is from the 72-73 season

    Chillo left in autumn 71

    He only ever played in round neck amber shirts

    Also the number on the back should be black not white , surely?

    I hate to be pedantic, but if you nuked London, I think you'd be lucky to wipe out 10% of Sun readers. (though wiping out Mail readers might be rather more successful)

    The thing about nuking London is there are some pretty buildings there. For that reason I'd go for Neutron bombs. They cause limited damage, but heavy casualties from high dose radiation.

    Chemical weapons would sort them out with no structural damage and without the risk of spread as with biological warfare.
    I'll get chemical Ali on the blower right away

    The majority of the nation think Hull is a ****-hole and despite not knowing the place, they continue to peddle this 'worst city' nonsense.

    Let's not be equally shallow.

    Well for starters there'd be 5 places in the PL needed filling, and no West Ham above us to be given one of them.

    But many of us on here do know the place and in addition can detect an overhyped ****hole when we see one.

    You just need to know the right places to go, London is one of the best cities in the world. Crystal Palace and the surrounding area is not the best...

    No one denies London has some good areas or attractions

    But people are sick of the lies and the hype

    I lived in London for 12 years, I moved back twenty years ago but I kept a home there and my business is still based there.

    I'm moving it to Hull shortly, but having spent 32 years living there either full time or part time, I think I've got a fairly good perspective on the place.

    Internationally, London has a reputation beyond anything any other UK city could achieve and my business has prospered as a consequence.

    I can only consider moving my business back to Hull, as a result of the reputation it's built up over thirty years in London.

    Not my choice, just the way it is.

    I take it the overhyped ****hole has never done anything for you and you made your fortune elsewhere?

    The extermination of Queen Elisabeth, Prince Phillip, and the rest of the tax burdening Royals would provide more than 5 benefits

    The good bits of London would be greatly improved if they were moved somewhere else.

    Sorry but whether you like it or not our Royal Family and all its pomp and circumstance are the envy of the world. The Royal stuff brings in loads of tourists and when we put on an event like the last Royal Wedding there is nothing more spectacular and the crowds around Buckingham Palace just for changing of the guard are huge. I am proud to be British and am glad we have the Queen. When I am in London I love all the things that the tourists come to see it makes me proud to be British. However I know certain areas of London are not quite so nice and the publicity a while ago about the Romanian Gypsies begging on the streets made my blood boil.
