I'm not sure about people doing better for themselves outside of London. Seems a bit backwards, cost of living in mind, you'll still land a decent job in London if you want one.
Only the dole-dossers seem to leave London, so they can live better on their benefit checks.'"
One can work in London and live miles away if they want you know. Plenty do, including myself. However most enjoy living in London.
Dole dossers leave London? Wow. I'd have a walk around certain areas of South East London and re-evaluate if I was you. |

Exactly right, plenty travel into London because it's a hole and the only excuse for going into the place is your job. Same reason most Londoners who can afford it off from the place when they're able to.
People live in London begrudgingly. It's not a good place to live and nobody wants to be there - There's simply no alternative if you want a decent career so people are, in a lot of ways, forced to move there.
A hole in every sense of the word.  |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

It takes me 10 minutes to get to work , any longer than 20 and I'd change jobs , as for spending half my life stuck in traffic or sharing a crowded bus/train , no thanks

Can't stand Jonathan Davies' commentary. It's easily the worst thing about the BBC's Rugby League coverage.

The lack of a train station in Leigh makes it hard for people to travel there for a day just to go to the match and get wasted, as a large number will want to.

You mean the train station 3 miles , a bus ride away ? |

That’s one point of view
Mine is that London has far and away Britain’s largest offering of theatres, galleries, museums, concerts, gigs, comedy, restaurants, bars and clubs
I live in zone 2 (Shepherds Bush) and I can be in the office in the city 20 minutes... at the same time, I can be in places like Holland Park, Hammersmith, Brook Green or Chiswick in 10 minutes to find a huge amount to do and places to visit
So, your opinion is that London is a poop hole.. well, that’s your prerogative? Do you mind if I enquire where you live so I can make a judgement

Absolutely. I'm 1 hour from London but would love to live there soon. |

In a debate about why the CC final isnt in HD.

I live in London and love it.. But I guess I'm not allowed to.

Must be a tough decision for the tomkins brothers whether to play in front of 9000 at leigh or 70000 at twickers. the national game is an embarrassment

Going back to the OP, the problem is quite simple. The opposition are woeful. A cobbled together team of low level players which England should beat comfortably. I wouldn't exactly be delighted if England won a match that they are expected to win.

I doubt the crowd numbers will have anything to do with their decision. They either love £££ or the game of Rugby League. |

Sure, and if you need to occupy your life with those sort of things then I imagine a large city is a decent place to live.
I live in Keighley at the moment. |

To be honest it's about where your heart lies for me. If you're an RL man why give up a short career for money? You have another 30+ years to work after finishing if you want to make money. But, you only have a few years as a top sportsman and if you have any integrity or love for a game you should play that game whatever it is. To take easy money is short-sighted and from my point of view bad for the soul. |
