Not a question but a comment. Lived in London from August 94 to December 95 and loved it. So much to do. Discovered that room temperature beer really is better and found myself saying words I swore I never would - bollocks, shite, duvet and crisps. Did get a bit tired of explaining that here in Australia we say chips for both chips and crisps and it is not even a tiny amount confusing. If you ask for a bucket of chips or $5 worth of chips you don't get the shop owner getting crisps and pouring them in a bucket. And if you are wanting crisps and aren't actually able to grab them from a shelf and take them to the counter, no-one just says I'd like some crisps/chips - you usually have a choice of brand or always a choice of flavour. I had one friend in particular who just couldn't grasp that concept. I lived in Acton.

does the class system still effect a big part of the social scene? ie no marriage between rich and poor

Not really, we're more for equality but I'm sure it depends on the school itself

do most of the people have cars? are automobiles as prevalent as they are here?
Writersblock · 26-30, F
There's a lot of us that do have cars but we're probably not as car crazy as America, but there are a lot of cars here

Dose it really rain a lot?
Writersblock · 26-30, F
No that's a fallacy, it depends on the time of year

what is the weather like today?

It's actually currently quite bright, surprising. Unfortunately we're at the stage where it's so cold in the morning and then boiling hot midday
