You aren't jealous are you

Never been jealous of anyone in my life let a lone a bunch of -ankers

They are they only ones that could afford one, or maybe a second home for an MP

MP , is that a megarich prat

I certainly wouldn't mind one, the views must be fantastic, just wish I'd been lucky enough to get into the sort of job that would pay me the money to buy one, must be great to live somewhere like that.

Now who is jealous

I am certainly jealous of having one of those flats, it would be fantastic and i would be very envious of the people who will eventually by them, just hate that its not going to be me.

A few days in London is one of our favorite breaks , but to live there woulod be a living hell to us simple country folk

I was born in East London, city boy, and worked most of my life travelling around London, I hate it if its to quiet for too long,

I just like the buzz of things going on and just watching people, we live in Rayleigh in Essex now, about 30 mile to the east of London but quiet often just go for a drive up to the City and West end just to see what's going on, the car is free from the congestion charge so we don't have to worry about that.

Its a wonderful City with so much to see and do, also you can do and see loads of things for nothing, you don't have to be a millionaire, next time you are coming down let me know perhaps we could meet up for a wander around
