Bosun11 537 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yep, in plenty of ways no different than any city but I like the place, love the history there and enjoy my all too infrequent visits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 My Dad lived in London for over 20 years so I went down there pretty often, and I've seen a drastic change in the people over the years. It's rare you hear a Cockney accent down there now, as even the new generation of Cockney's speak with that disgusting immigrant twang (Like N-Dubz). Local dialects, accents and traditional characteristics all but finished because of this wonderful harmonizing thing they call multiculturalism! I still love going there because of the history and the sights, but for me, its a real shame to see what has happened to the people! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Have to agree with everyone on this, apart from paulus A shame to see a place full of potential ruined by a bunch of wannabe w@nkers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,758 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 True lads there's a lot of young people speaking in that street slang . But I'm pretty sure London isn't the only city that has this problem! Don't worry it won't be long though ,as it spreads from our larger cities to your town . Along with the immigrants looking to buy a house in the country ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
