The End (of this chapter)

Dear Reader,

Ok so not the worlds most interesting blog, but thanks for reading anyway. Not particularly well edited, updated, maintained, presented, expressed, written, or even conceived. I don't think I said anything tremendously interesting about London at all. All you may have gathered is that London is over-crowded, rather polluted and filled with aggressive drivers and even more aggressive cyclists.

In fact London is actually an amazing city. You can walk for 5 minutes in any direction from my offices near the bank of England and visit 3 different cities from 3 different eras, a bazillion different architectural styles and meet people from probably all of the 196 countries that attended the Brokenhagen Accord.

And that's all very nice and great and everything but then, when you, say, try and get home, for instance, or travel somewhere more than walking distance away the city degenerates into something more readily imagined by M.C Esher with a bad aural migraine.

And unfortunately pretty architecture and multicultural people don't count for much when you've watched 3 packed sardine trains go past you before you get the central line to Oxford Circus and encounter signs saying that you will have to queue to get out of the station because there's too many pedestrians on the pavement already!

For this and a few other reasons, we have therefore decided to try an Alternative Lifestyle.

I very very sadly have left the fine offices of the worlds best software company (youDevise.com) and am now, well, technically unemployed! Hurray for poverty! On the 4th of Janvier I start a new contract for JP Morgan Private Bank in Geneve, Suisse.

So that's it for now for Londian. Once again, I am going to have to ask you to retune.
