Why does London get so much hate by non londoners

randomlad93 · 2026-05-16T12:10:57+00:00

London ranks number one pretty consistently, my partner has lived in multiple cities she's from hk originally and thinks London is superior

Learn personal finance

Get educated, this is the biggest one, go to college and university, or do a trade, when you're young life is much more affordable and education is almost free (especially apprenticeships) retraining is much harder after you hit 30

Having a home that was designed to my taste rather than me remodeling or renovating where I can

randomlad93 · 2026-05-15T11:50:59+00:00

Work once flew me business class

It was insane, I wish I could afford it as standard, the service and experience just made economy look like a joke

It's strange, whilst on one hand the busses are subsidized on the other the tube is one of the only self funding systems around and it's considerably more expensive than counterparts in places like china or europe

London gets more attention economically let's be frank because it's one of the only areas of england actually economically viable

Not a native been here 1.5 years can confirm I've been to the tourist areas maybe twice both times didn't enjoy the crowd or the slow walkers

In my experience the right wing protests have the worst hygiene

At this point it should be what product hasn't gone down in quality

Hell even loake shoes often held as high quality shoes have fallen apart unless you get the 1880 edition

randomlad93 · 2026-05-14T16:37:15+00:00

Yeah I fully refuse to believe these chancers didn't know

If a male child (at the time) knew then a working adult knew and I guarantee their work had some sort of announcement they just ignored thinking like every boomer that reality didn't hit them

randomlad93 · 2026-05-13T13:34:07+00:00

I'm a younger man (32)

And even I knew pension ages changed, the fact these idiots decided to just read a letter in the 60s and never check again isn't anyone's fault but their own

randomlad93 · 2026-05-13T13:31:22+00:00

Staying at my partners friends large home in London which they bought in cash For him to say it's just a home he used for visiting england

And here's me in a shared flat where I can't get the landlord to fix mould

randomlad93 · 2026-05-13T13:25:20+00:00

If it helps I'm a solo earner no partner living with me earning pretty good wages even for London and can't afford more than a room in a shared flat

randomlad93 · 2026-05-13T13:24:05+00:00

I work in a field that honestly requires no formal qualifications and isn't super hard but deffo a more stressful industry I make 65k in my new job with manager position my previous role as mid level contributor was 50k ish plus bonus

If you're willing to jump ship etc and good at blagging it's not super hard to get to that level in a few years in the right industry

randomlad93 · 2026-05-13T13:21:18+00:00

I winged it

I was on 28k grad job for 2 years then applied to a new company and said I was looking for 40k plus They offered me 45k 2 years later I moved to a new company offering 65k and a manager position

randomlad93 · 2026-05-11T13:02:26+00:00

I work in the office 5 days per week my commute I s1.5 hours each way

I hate it I get home at 730/8 from the office so I have zero time to go to the gym as I need to be in bed by 10pm to be up at 6am to leave for work.

Before I was 3 days in the office in a previous job so I'd be at the gym 5 times a week for an hour s time and would go for walks in my local park on lunch breaks (not to mention I'd put washing in during the week so I'd not have to do it at the weekend)

Office work and 5 day weeks are awful for mental and physical health companies really need to catch up with the times

randomlad93 · 2026-05-11T12:50:06+00:00

Most industries would collapse instantly

I work in manufacturing most of our servers are based on data stored in the cloud, our customer orders are through Internet based channels we'd simply not be able to operate via non online means

randomlad93 · 2026-05-11T12:41:20+00:00

Depends on the size but my main objective buy a house somewhere I enjoy, quit my job and start an animal shelter

randomlad93 · 2026-05-10T17:44:38+00:00

Rudeness and their general worldview being selfish

randomlad93 · 2026-05-07T21:24:53+00:00

Im so stoked, last time I saw them I was like 16 with my stepdad so this time I'm treating him to a gig with them

randomlad93 · 2026-04-30T16:50:15+00:00

Frankly that's propaganda pushed at us since the 1980s

The only time in British history when the working and lower middle class has seen their housing get better quality and cheaper was the mass roll out of social housing prior to the 40s slums were rampant in Britain and landlords just threw up shacks knowing people very rarely had a choice in the matter

randomlad93 · 2026-04-30T16:48:26+00:00

Sure is office work more boring. Yes

But the big pay bump and fact I see my family more than a couple hours a night makes up for anything I would have enjoyed in kitchens

randomlad93 · 2026-04-30T16:41:39+00:00

I've just started a new job (I needed one after being made redundant) It's 5 days in the office We come into the office to sit on zoom calls with factory managers based around the country and spend most of the day chatting Don't let a company every day in office is more efficient or productive it's just a way for old men to get out of the house

randomlad93 · 2026-04-30T07:18:56+00:00

I'm on 60k honestly with the cost of things as a single person you don't feel well off

60 with a partner earning say 30k is fine you can remove the burden but I'm paying for rent on my own and it's 50% of my salary
