I am not a Londoner or even English, but I am British and ergo one of the very few people on FR who actually lives in the UK and is actually British.
Do you not agree London is slipping away at an accelerating rate?
I come from a very long line of Brits on both sides of my parentage. I had hoped to retire in the area of my family ancestors, Devon, or maybe Cornwall, but a re-marriage, and the declining conditions of the UK have made me re-examine that idea. I do follow UK events and news quite closely, correspond with friends there and will be back to visit again soon. As a tourist, I like most everything about Britain except that in many places it has been taken over by foreigners with no love for it or any intention to assimilate. Florida may be a more realistic alternative for me at this point.
