I've never been in one. And the area they are in here is crammed with indies who I'd rather support, so I doubt I will, here at least.I love their cinnamon buns.

Is THAT what the kids are calling it these days?I’m noy saying Walthamstow doesn’t have it’s charms but the last time I was there was for a BACKSTREET WRESTLING MATCH.
Ooh and their potato and rosemary sourdough.I love their cinnamon buns.
The old village bit was quite nice but then it was over ten years ago I went...Walthamstow is really rather nice these days. I have several friends who moved there and when I last went to visit it looked totally different to how it was years ago.
Oh Ellie! They are RANK!Talking of cinnamon buns, those bags of mini cinnamon and vanilla buns in IKEA are glorious!

I blame Gail'sLiberal perverts the lot of them.
Why does everyone outside of the big city think we’re miserable and in a rush? WE’RE NOT.
Are people in London actually Londoners though? While I love that we’re a hotch-potch from all over, going out in Zone 1 at least, actual Londoners will be a slim percentage of the nightlife.My experience of London is plenty and mostly in the form of partying and nightlife. I can 100% say that people in London are less friendly than elsewhere.
NO FENCE SITTING.Where's the IDK option, I've met quite a few during my lifetime but not all of them have been rude and unfriendly.
Maybe the peasants are just slow paced?I mean I am in a rush but I'm having a lovely time.
My social life was spectacular for over ten years in London, only killed by COVID and PREGNANCY. Made new friends every weekend for years although I did live the terrible stereotypical Single Gal Round Town (Hackney) life for most of it. Londoners just don’t do loads of small talk but most people I met always wanted to make actual new connections.Are people in London actually Londoners though?

I've had very much the same experience in mid Wales, but never particularly in South Wales. Cardiff to me particularly feels like a friendly city. I do like small capital cities.Welsh people, particularly North Wales are not approachable. At least to the English, they’re actively rude.
It always surprises me when I travel outside of London and you'll pass people in the street and they wish you a good morning. I'm like, what do you want from me?!
In a scale out of 100 I'd rate friendliness (to foreigners obv) as:
Luton 85
London 75
Preston 55
Blackpool 45
Also being Merseyside born I can absolutely relate. Living in a major city (not London) for a few years was a massive culture shock to me but I grew a lot during that time.I was in a suburb with the most intense small town mentality and it was suffocating. Anyone who grew up in a suburb will relate.
Nice fudge, beautiful fudgeNOW DO A POLL ON THE SOUTH
Same here. And then there's a little uncomfortable silence until i process i was greeted by unknowns and wish them back.It always surprises me when I travel outside of London and you'll pass people in the street and they wish you a good morning.
