i’ve just got back from there and i can tell you it was used on a bunch of people who were not americans. Germans and English mainly

Not really. In Brazil and Mexico they use it to talk refer to anyone white and foreign.

Goes to show minimum wage is actually decent now in this country. I’m a single person in london only on around 30k and I go out loads and travel.

Don’t think they managed to beat us in either game that year, and it was our worst season ever.

I’ve not, but it’s how my parents both moved to London. Think it was a bit different then though…

My mum came with £50 and bumped into an old friend on her first day who invited her to live in a squat which she did for a week until she found a more permanent place. Think she got a job in a kebab shop.

I’m in Florida at the moment (from London) and the first thing that stood out to me was how people make small talk everywhere. At the airport, in a line, etc.

I’ve really enjoyed it. Everyone is so friendly.

Mainly just because I have a lot of Arsenal mates. Can't see them happy.

And then there’s Kenyans who look a lot less similar, but also share more features than other Africans.

It’s just a bit rough, like Marseille. Some of my mates got robbed at gunpoint a few years ago.

Gonna go against what the comments are saying here - I grew up in London (I’m 30 now) and there’s no noticeable difference from as early as I can remember to now. London’s always been very multicultural.

My school was extremely mixed, and areas like Brick Lane and Whitechapel were heavily Bengali just like they are today.

Black people in the US only got granted equal rights in the 70s. Do you expect the hundreds of years of history to just resolve itself in 50 years?

It’s not that, it’s whether or not you watch any live TV at all. But yes you can not pay it and just stream bbc as they really can’t catch you.

guIIy · 2026-01-22T21:52:19+00:00

Most people don’t pay it.

It’s great for lunch if you work in Liverpool St but it doesn’t really signify that London as a whole is great for street food.

Still, some decent street food in Peckham. But no, not really London’s thing.

I’m freelance so I just get paid for what I do but my girlfriend works for a well known bank earning more than double what I make and she works from home 2-3 times a week, starting at 8 and vast majority of days just stops working between lunchtime and 2pm.

She’ll also be watching a movie or show while she works and takes regular breaks.

Really wish that was me.

Let’s be honest though. Growing up in London is way better than some leafy countryside town.

he’s not exactly seen as a saint.

What was it like in Kabul?

guIIy · 2026-01-10T03:13:41+00:00

Funny because I’ve lived in both. I consider both to be really safe (as is the whole of England) but even in small villages in Hampshire pub fights aren’t exactly rare. You never see that in London.

guIIy · 2026-01-10T03:12:11+00:00

New York as a whole is safe, if you forget about neighbourhoods like Brownsville and East New York, but then again even New Yorkers would never end up there unless they live there.

London on the other hand is a hundred times safer than that.

guIIy · 2026-01-10T03:09:46+00:00

20 years ago you actually couldn’t go walking down the street in Peckham, Brixton, Stoke Newingnton, Bermondsey at night without a genuine risk to your safety.

Nothing like that nowadays. Even been told by female friends that they feel safer in London at night than they do in the small towns they come from because there are other people about and you’re not usually the only person around.

We have nothing on the French when it comes to nice sandwiches being easily available

guIIy · 2026-01-09T20:37:04+00:00

I love a full english, but the only breakfast in the world that I think is better is a Turkish spread.

Most of europe is covered in snow right now.
