I hate london. it's so busy and crazy! got cursed by a woman because I didnt pay her 10 pounds for a rose twice in one walk! literally started chanting scary things. terrified my kids, then got frog marched to a bank machine by a man who wouldnt accept the change I offered him and only wanted notes. never happened in my home city.
I would be so scared if I was in between those 2 busses, I already freak out when there is a single truck next to me because I am scared it will fall over 😂
I don't have any issues with this, but my mom does! I can't imagine what it would be like if I had to drive her around in London!
haha she would lose her mind I guess 😂
Me too actually, because she will constantly tell me what to do haha
London is England's version of New York City. The only person who could make me live there is God himself.
