When I'm really pissed off with the service or whatever, I do a Margot... (from the Good Life). It seems to intimidate people; I wonder why?

Part of my work involves interviewing 'important' people on the phone. Flatters them no end when they think that I'm calling from London. (I don't atcually say that, of course, but if they just assume... )

So, since I've never been interviewed by a woman from CA witha a London accent, does that mean I'm not important ?

Green and leafy Putney.

No smog.

Except in winter, when the locals are huddled around their illegal wooden fires...

Nor is the High Street. or the Lower Richmond Road. or Wandsworth High Street :scared:

But then there's Montserrat, and Fawe Park, and Hotham, and Langside and and and...

Definitely one of the best places to live in London. But I'm probably biased.

So what are the best roads in London, Ontario, then?
