You know you're not in London when.....

[hopless500]

When you can walk into a pub and get a decent pint of beer for less than £3.00.

wherever that is, it's not rural Norfolk

 

[Dirk]

When you see someone driving a 4x4 that has actually been used off road.

I agree. I'd go to live in Paris tomorrow, I'd not live in London for a gold watch and large pension!

 

[accountantpete]

£500,000 houses come with more than one bed and don't have a shared toilet/bathroom.

 

[Sea of vapours]

When you can look up at the sky on a clear night and see the MilkyWay.

 

[byegad]

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.

Not to pour water on your point. But your latter point is because phones doesn't work in Norfolk!

 

[Dirk]

When people wave at each other across the road.

You can't get to see good opera.

Covent Garden is the only place to be and Antonio Pappano is the only conductor to listen to.

*cough* Glyndebourne, Sussex *cough*

1. You don't get shot by The Met.

2. Your bogies aren't black with diesel pollution.

3. You pay at least twice as much, and often many times more, for things with no rational justification.

...you view people who pretend that London is the only place in the world with mild amusement.

So @Markymark - where were you? Kingston-upon-Thames? Watford? Moor Park?

 

[TVC]

... there isn't the overwhelming stench of Diesel and dispair, and there isn't another person in your personal space all the time.

 

[Dirk]

When you can be alone on a 3 mile beach.

 

[Drago]

When you're enjoying yourself.
