Yes, blah,blah,blah, don't forget the young frustrated female South Korean students that pack Borders (Charing Cross Rd) every evening, or the Polish & Brazilian babes serving £5.00 soggy sandwiches at Pret A Manger, or all those girls on the tube after paying £3.00-5.00 single tube fare Or the tall Sikh/Punjab babes all over. Yes its friggin expensive, but as one poster said if you do Outer SW London or around Greenwich you will have a ball. Wimbledon,Southfields,Barnes,Richmond ? If you need occasional herbal mood enhancers but in a good area try Streatham,Clapham and Dulwich.Been in Fulham 6 yrs and just started to realise what a p!55hole it is. Healthwise make sure your insurance is proper or sneak your way onto a GP (family doctor) register, otherwise should you need any form of treatment and have to pay it would be circa £380-450/night before touching you. Do not worry about the Police they tend to shoot innocent young Brazillian men without warning. You will also see/find that the English have an exagerrated and upper crust view of their "City" (financial district) resulting in most ladies dropping their knickers/panties if they smell any link you might have with the world of finance,especially when you say TRADER !! Hedgistan here covers Green Park, Picadilly, Mayfair and parts of St James .Whatever you do never ever ever buy anything for your mouth from a chain of 5000 calorie snack shops called GREGGS http://www.greggs.co.uk/customer_care/our_products/ Get yourself a Private Eye Magazine subscription, do not read the Daily Mail (or The Metro-freebie paper) & The Mirror newspaper. You will find news in the FT 18 hours old, The Sun silly,Daily Sport to saucy, The Telegraph has a cartoon strip called Alex which personifies most inbred "City" types. You may read The Guardian if you live in/around Islington,vegan,PETA/Greenpeace activist and hug trees If you aspire for a certain social class or status do tell us and will tell you what to wear; tweed jackets (Scottish made only) with red pants for the landed gentry or tracksuit bottoms and Reebook classic trainers if working class. Also expect to pay £120/month for local authority taxation for rubbish collections once a month. IMHO BIGGEST & ONLY advantage is being able to play in Asia, Europe and then with the Yanks during high volatility periods with ease to the body Regards Cygnus Atratus P.S. Remember not to use any firm of Estate Agents (Realtors) that has grotesquely painted Mini Coopers.
