Why do yankies think all of london is posh?

Question

cos it aint, infact, if u look at someone wrong in some places u will get shanked. and dont get started on the fkn gangs. we dont all drink tea and ware bisness suits alright? lol

Answer 1

Its probably the same when people think that LA will be something great when its just like everywhere else but more populated.

Answer 2

I dont think that "yankies" are that stupid. I think we realize that london is a big city; hence, there would be both "posh" and "not posh" areas. Do you even know any americans?

Answer 3

I've been to London and posh never entered my mind.

Answer 4

Cause the guy you know is an idiot, and anyone who generalizes enough to say that all Americans think or believe ANYTHING, both of you, are being closed minded and self important.

Any smart traveller knows there are some parts of every city that you don't want to go into.  If you don't go into them, because you are smart enough to stay safe, you could, actually, forget that there are some parts of town you want to avoid.  One tends to get back from a trip, and only remember what they took photos of...you forget about the parts you didn't shoot.

If anyone has even seen Mary Poppins, they should know there are some parts of London that aren't quite so savory!

Answer 5

Britons seem to think that NY is all skyscrapers when most of it is farms and ppl living in the woods. I've been to London and seen the crappy parts, the parts full of punks, multi-colored hair and its share of generally rude people. It has a nice mix though.

Answer 6

Just thought I'd update you on the fact that it's no longer the 18th century...we're called "AMERICANS" now ;) Cheers

Answer 7

because at the time english ppl where all posh also wrong category
