English Sunday newspapers,

funny you should mention Kingston upon thames, I was talking to three friends of mine one from Manchester, the others from London, I was saying I'd been to Manchester a few times especially Stockport, I was told Stockport so never been to Manchester , but when I mentioned Kingston upon Thames they agreed it was London...

It was definitely in London when I went to Kingston University, now I don't it isn't.

My take is that anywhere inside the ring road is London.

Am doing a city break in the capital soon, it's the first time I have been back (other than driving through) since 2003 when I cycled my Brommie from Kings Cross to Croydon and back to order a new bike. That was fun.

My take is that anywhere south of Gretna is London.

I'm an early riser, 6-7 am, late to bed, I won't have a bike, it can be a long day

In that case I suggest a local paper with lots of adverts for second hand bikes. Buy paper, scour ads, buy cheap bike, go cycling.

My advice would be to do something useful instead. Go ride a bike for example. Reading Sunday papers can only lead to feelings of stress, impotence and disappointment. Going for a bike ride OTOH will raise your endorphin levels instead of lowering them.

You said it. News papers, TV news e.t.c only report bad things 90% of the time. Not good for the brain.

The Observer. Review plus it has a crossword achievable after a fashion...a £15 book token awaits 5 lucky people. (I have never won it, despite cutting roughly round the dotted lines / cutting precisely around the dotted lines...)I can only assume I do not have the qualities required of a regular person, stuck forwards.

Just say you are from Romania and apparently they will kick out someone here and give you their job and a free house. Simple!

[QUOTE 2864442, member: 1314"]Just say you're an old, small-town Home Counties sort with a sense of entitlement; how much better it was in the old days; go on entrenching a bullying attitude about the new wave of immigrants 'cos they's be a target that can't answer back. Simple.[/quote]They probably could, in fact. All the East Europeans I have come across in God's Own County speak understandable English after a year or so, which is more than some of the locals can after fifty. We need more of them, I reckon.

One of my neighbours won a prize in a crossword competition. They live across the road from me, and three houses down.
