Where in London do you live?
I'm assuming it's in one of the nicer boroughs.
Do you seriously think that beyond the north circular, there are just thatched cottages, farms and village greens?
Have you never visited another UK city and experienced the vibrancy and excitement of a city centre on a Saturday night?
That's actually quite sad.

I love London, it's my absolute favourite place in the world (I have also lived in Oxford and several other cities) but that's because it was the first place I owned my own home and lived as a 'grown up'... I always felt really safe in London, much safer than I do in the countryside, completely illogical but never mind.

I now live in full rural splendour (listed cottage and all, suck on that MN) which is fabulous for the kids and pets etc, and I do like it but if I was a bazillionaire I'd move back to town in a heartbeat.

That said, although it's my favorite city I wouldn't be so bold as to say it's the best city (it is!! 😆) because I'm not able to speak for everyone!
 
I love London, but to visit not to live. I love most European capital cities, but for me, living by the sea is best. However, I am not a true Mumsnetter because I don't go wild cold water swimming in the winter, not even with a fancy Dryrobe. I walk on the beach and look at the waves and think about summer days when I can go down there with a blanket, a book, and a bucket and spade for the child, for hours of glorious entertainment.

I’m sure I read that they don’t class a dove bar of soap as ‘proper’ soap on there. It has to be traditional soap to clean us disgusting germ ridden humans!

Yes! I remember that now that you mention it. 😁

I haven't ventured on there yet today but I do wonder sometimes about the 'is this dress suitable for a wedding' threads.
Either someone trying to stir or else someone pushing a particular website or whatever.

Tbf, even Dove say it’s not a soap. It’s a ‘beauty bar’, which is supposed to not dry your skin out as much. I think the cleansing element is milder than in traditional soap (I’m not a chemist, so I’m not going to get technical) but this is a debate that been raging on Twitter since the pandemic (and probably before).

Having said that, I use it like you would normal soap but all Mumsnetters seem to have stinky armpits and say it won’t clean the stench away as well as soap would.
