Seven Shades of Grey!
There’s one thing that you notice immediately when you visit London, everything is grey; the sky is grey, the buildings are grey, everyone wears grey and the people are grey! The next thing you will notice is how rude many of the people are, you’ll be lucky to get the time from someone in the street, most people just totally ignore you, some simply show a hand for you to talk to! And getting directions, oh, for that one you will get a reply but you wont ever get anywhere near where you asked to get to! Politeness and London are rarely found together, there is no “sorry” or “thank you”, “excuse me” yeah right! Everyone just pushes there way through, in their grey clothes, with their grey miserable faces.
Its generally less hassle to look people in the eye as you’ll either get someone try and start a fight with you, or some lunatic following you around all day. No one speaks to strangers, or even looks at them for that matter and London has more than its fair share of rudeness. Its a brilliant city with loads to see and do, so much so that you’ll never get bored, unfortunately its filled with rude people that make it feel like such a depressing place to be. When a shop assistant says “Hi” back when you enter the shop you get a shock and don’t even think about asking the bus driver if he has change as you’ll get shouted at!
