On our local TV news yesterday evening (being London Tonight, or something), there was an in-depth 2 minute article (!) on the rising house prices in London, and how people cannot afford to get on the property ladder in London. Sorry, have they only just noticed that houses are seriously over-priced in London?
Anyway, they interviewed an estate agent. He was basically a jumped-up, pin-stripe suited, Essex boy, with a mockney accent and too much hair gel. Normal estate agent round these parts. He rounded off the interview with (cue crap accent), "Well, at the end of the day people will always wanna live 'ere, won't they? I mean, there's only one London, ain't there?".
I lost my usual reserve and shouted at the TV, "No, there fucking isn't, you idiot. There's a London in Ontario, Canada, and one in Arkansas, USA for a start".
Nice to know my New Years Resolution of remaining calm when faced with morons didn't last long.
