:nod: I have many happy memories of wandering out of the Gare du Nord into any random café for a café cognac to get an instance hit of France. Wouldn't do it now.
There are still some decent cafés slap bang opposite the GdN, but take any of the side roads and you're in downtown Dakar.

Knightsbridge.
Because of the billionaire boy racers burning around and showing off in their very very loud sports cars.

Knightsbridge has always been full of ****ers, though, a, but surprised the traffic allows anyone to burn around

Is this similar to how you lived in Hampstead but technically didn't.

Yes. Nothing more pointless than a sports car in a congested city. They drive up and down the quieter side streets. Well, quieter until they came along.

There's a fúcking great elephant here that everyone's dancing around.
They're WES's mates from the Gulf. Tasteless morons.

Is it taste?
I would suggest more money than sense. Like the bloke who had his Bugatti parked in the car park area of the Mandarin Oriental, he was not a resident in London but it was there for when he needed.
The car had not been moved in over a year.

:shrug: If he wants to keep a car in London and is happy for that car to be a Bugatti, I don't see the issue.
No, it's the tastelessness of parading around Knightsbridge in a gold wrapped Ferrari that upsets me.
None of my business, of course.
