british accents are good for documentaries. go watch "planet earth" and see the difference david attenborough's accent makes. sigourney weaver sucks as a narrator.
Actually totally agree with you there. No sarcasm, drunk Brits are ruining many cities I love...they organize stag parties abroad and their main motivation is to get wasted, disrespect the locals, walk out on bills, stiff waitresses, get in fights and end up in jail.
yea i actually was ok when 1 fight occurred but every night a group of them would start fights or end up in a fight by acting like animals. To make it worse most of their fights against their own British people. These people fight so much you would actually think their the locals.

Londoners are natural survivors
While NYC suffered 9/11 many Londoners alive today including my nan survived the blitz, baby blitz and V weapon offensives by the Nazi Germans during the battle of Britain while the Americans were enjoying peacetime. Hundreds of nights of ariel bombing where 40,000 people were killed and 1.5 million homes destroyed or 1/3 of Londons homes. It took us up to the 1980s to fix the city we still have a housing shortage but this is still a world-class city.
