I would advise the women to be more vague, on the general principle that women are more prone to being stalked. Myself, I don't feel any threat. I'm a 6'0, 220 lb male triathlete, with no ostentatious jewelry. I really doubt anything bad's going to happen to me as a result of this. But of course, your mileage may vary, and you shouldn't post any identifiers which make you uncomfortable. This thread's there if you think it is useful to you, if you have any concerns, by all means, don't participate. Nobody's going to think less of you. Edited by stevestory on May 20 2008,04:48

Although getting to central London from where I live now is easier, cheaper and quicker than when I lived in London proper. Go figure.* The trains even run later so no night bus, yay! London nightbus journeys are an anthropological/sociological, hell even taxonomic, experiment every time. "Care in the Community"? Knackers. Care on the Nightbus/Northern line more like. Echos PTET's statements about size (and exhorbitant cost) of flat. I have no need for new friends but I am always pleased to make new friends. If you understand what I mean. Caution: Meeting me does occasionally involve inadvisable drinking. Mainly on my part, but I like to encourage drinking in others. It's more sociable that way. Louis *When I was working in Kent (East UK) and my wife (then girlfriend) was working in the very west bit of the west country we worked out it was easier, cheaper and quicker to meet in Paris every two weeks than meet at one of our domiciles every week. (Think: standard UK trains vs Eurostar). We, sadly, worked this out towards the end of this period of long distance relationshipping. -------------- Bye.

They are shining example of either the fallen nature of man, or our primitive reptilian ancestry, according to your point of view... You've also reminded me of the Glasgow night buses. More culturally homogenous, and more mental... But at least there's an outside chance of a sing-a-long. In general, strangers in London will not talk to you. Strangers in Glasgow talk to you all the time...

Wisconsin.  Oak Lair (not it's real name) to be precise.  I'm originally from Minnesota, but I've lived all over the USA and been overseas to England, Scotland, Wales, and Holland.   I have a very nice tavern that I frequent, about a block away.  Wisconsin is known for its beer(s). I thought London was a lot of fun when I was there.  I went to the Tower and also went on Rumbelow's Jack the Ripper walk on the east end.  I stayed in the Belgravia area, near Vic Station. I'm a castle nut and I visited more than 2 dozen of them in the month I was overseas.   Anyways, again, fun post & good subject.
