London or New York?

[Ad Nihilo]

No snow in the winter, usually. Which is a huge improvement to 4ft+ of snow in my opinion.

The snow is beautiful.

Up to the point where you have to walk in it. Or when it starts melting in that most disgusting slush.

Bad accents? English Accents are the most irritating accents ever.

Have you ever head a Czech accent?

[Hydesland]

Note the plural in my original post. I never claimed there to be an American accent. But rather a plurality of American accents, most of which I find very irritating. Given the area, I'd guess I'd be talking about the Italian and Irish influenced New York accents, African American accents, and the New England accent (which is by far the most irritating).

I actually really like American accents, even the Jewish American ones that are allegedly the most annoying ones in New York. In fact, I prefer them to many London accents.

London, hands down. Better landmarks (and nothing French about ours as well), better food, christopher's covent garden bacon cheese burger awesome!!!!, better weather, better people, better entertainment, just better all round.

Oh, and the Gerkin kick's the Statute of Liberties ass.

lolwut?

i was in NY for two weeks, it rained like every day. it's never rained when i've been in London. Also, NYers are really rude.

Oh and another thing that makes London better: the Globe.

And I've always laughed at Americans when they saw Concord. It's hilarious.

Have you even been to Venice?

[Hydesland]

lol, one thing during one season. You have two types of weather, cloudy, and rainy. The British Climate is the most depressing climate in the world. New York is situated in the perfect climate, we can go sking in the winter and go sun bathing in the summer without any effort.

London is hot and sunny in the summer, usually. And it actually gets less rain than New York.

Oh, and in my 16 years living in the New York Metropolitan area, we have never gotten over 4 feet of snow. In fact, the city rarely gets over a couple of inches.

That thing about bad weather is almost as much of a myth as the bad teeth thing. London in particular has pretty nice average temperatures in the summer, and even better ones in the winter (it never goes under 5C for more than a couple of weeks a year). Yay, the Gulf Stream. Even if it is cloudy, it is quite warm. But the whole "gray weather" thing has more or less been solved with the eradication of the smog decades ago.

unlike the bronx, seriously is there a more depressing place in the civilized world?

Whatever, it still doesn't change the fact that New York winters are mild compared to most places in our region.

Considering I lived there for 7 years and still have friends there, I don't find it depressing at all. And theres no smog in the Bronx that isn't in the rest of the city.

I admit I have had some prejudice against Cockney accents, but to be honest, after you meet some decent people (read attractive AND intelligent GIRLS) that speak it it, it's actually quite alright.

Besides, in central London most people speak RP anyway.

This isn't a recent development, New York has always had a mild climate.

In London, the average temperature during Winter tends to revolve around 10C, except for a couple of weeks in January.

Dunno. Wiki says on average, during the winter at least, London has a couple of degrees above NY.

Here is a link about the average tempertatures of London:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides/results.shtml
and one about New York:
http://www.nytix.com/NewYorkCity/articles/temperature.html
If you do the conversions yourself the Winter temp is about equal, give or take depending on the month.

[Ad Nihilo]

Oh well. At least the wiki sources already provide the conversion to Celsius. Either way, it supports the idea that the whole thing about London having bad weather is a myth.

I don't think anyone claimed otherwise. However it was certainly explicitly said that London had "bad weather".

[Hegstoria]

It was said that New York had over 4 ft of snow every winter and was frigidly cold... I'd say thats calling the climate bad.

Ah... guilty for confusing state with city climate, then.

(also, frigid tends to mean something else )

Lulz... I was making a statement of taste. No need to get all argumental about absolute aesthetic standards mkay? If you find them irritating, fine. The feeling is entirely mutual

I'm more interested to know which accent is Hegstoria's "English" one.
