@takeonomado Thank you for telling us the dark side of London. I have been living in the Central area(West Central)of London for more than 50 years. I go out every day without any fear and never witnessed any incidents your friends experienced. Always something new to lean.

@madametehran Maybe the Supermarket sandwiches are tasteless, but if you make your own sandwiches, It’s much better. Not everyone likes soft and slightly sweet Japanese bread. Ham and Cheese are better here than Japan.

@koyan334coc I don’t understand. Bacon is salty, black pudding is already flavoured, baked beans is in tomato sauce and mushrooms are seasoned with salt and peppers. Toast with salted butter is tasty. You don’t need any more salt or sauce.

@___wk What is the perfect accent? In USA, my husband (English) didn’t understand anything American native’ saying. Likewise, we don’t understand strong NZ accent either. Every nationality should be able to speak in their accent. It’s called diversity.
