After two weeks staying in NotLondon:

1: You might as well try to pay with a dead trout than an Amex card
2: You order steak and the waitress asks if you want ketchup or mayonnaise
3: It takes 17 years for the 4 cars ahead of you to get onto the roundabout.

This thread is only for the well heeled and educated London classes. Shaun has written some code so no proletarians from the north are able to contribute ensuring this thread is kept accurate and civilised.

So please add to my list above.

Up here in glorious NotLondon Amex is a readily accepted form of payment IMHO. Although I think a dead trout would be a welcome form of payment in some establishments.

You meet people that smell like a cow, or in a few of my wifes customers cases smell like pigs.

Sounds like a lot of places in London.

Excuse me, I stopped at a cafe in a small rural Not London village today and had half a pint of Birra Morreti.

£2.90 !!!!

Funnily enough, I used to live in a barn conversion in Worcestershire. My nearest neighbour was about 1/4 mile away across the fields.
I didn't know them.

When you speak to a stranger and they don't try to get you arrested as a terrorist.

You can ride for miles on almost empty roads amidst stunning scenery and nobody shouts at you, throws something, or tries to run you over.
And you don't see anyone wandering around in the road staring at their phone.

Yes you do! All of those are regular here in Norfolkshire.
