The memory you took from being in The Greatest City On Earth was saving 50 pence on a bus fair.

Fúcking hell. There's living up to stereotypes, but that's taking the píss.

No, strangely I took many happy memories from being down south, but you decide to use your usual sterotype by slagging off northerners for being tight... typical southern w*nkers imo :)

Now, with you obviously being a jaffa and not having kids, you wouldn't understand that the novelty of travelling on a bus (especially when it stops 50 yards from your hotel) outweighs the fun of going on the tube and then having to walk 1/2 mile back.

Did you not notice lots of black cars driving around? If you see an orange light on top of one, he will answer your wave and take you precisely where you want to go.

He will probably want more than 75 pence, though. :-(

As a relatively recent user of a black cab on a 'family' visit to London I can roundly proclaim it to be a complete waste of my time.

I ended up getting out and walking the last 100 or so yards to the pub.

I've always found the tube a great way to get around. I bundle it into the price of the train ticket from the airport.
Last time I was in London I got off at Westminster and had a walk around. A very large number of Chinese about Buckingham palace. I'm not impressed that downing street is locked away, I was expecting to rock up to number 10 and for Theresa to answer.
