The Square Mile…so renowned for its festive good cheer 😐
This is definitely one of those times the Guardian is painfully London-centric.
Wouldn’t anyone think of the empty Prets and overpriced wanker station pubs????
Oooooh! I was supposed to be emerging from Bank a few hours ago for our office Christmas party! Instead I’m cosily tucked up in bed 200 miles away having treated myself to a pizza at the local pub instead. And im really gutted that we’ll all be missing the three hour long team meeting we’d originally had planned for first thing tomorrow.
London is depressing anyway, Covid doesn’t change that.
What does he expect? Street urchins singing Christmas carols and cockney dancing parades through the streets?
Of course it’s depressing. The City has long been a desolate shithole that serves as little more than a vast monument to the complete emptiness and tedium of late stage capitalism and corporate oligarchy.
Nah i went to London 6 months ago, most miserable bastards I ever seen, not sure why anyone would go there especially at Christmas.
Draconian!
It’s OK mayor St Khan has a plan. It’s called extending the ulez zone. That’ll get the punters back and spending. Apparently it’s so successful that Bristol, Birmingham and other cities are doing the same in an attempt to kick start the local economy and support regenerating city centres after covid. Update; …mayor St Khan must have read my post because he’s now suspended the charge during the evening’s to (ah-hem) support local business !
