Your probably noticing the grumpy ness after being removed from the enviroment for ages.

Though I always found Camden an interesting (4 murder victims found within a 1/4 mile) of the office in less than 2 years.

Some things in London have changed a lot while we were away, particularly the number of people around who are from the new EU countries.

I don’t think I’ve been on a bus or Tube yet where there haven’t been people talking in Latvian or Polish or some such.

London always was fairly grumpy, but travelling round you do realise that not everywhere is quite so bad. People here act surprised if you smile and are pleasant to them.

The recent immigrants do seem quite jolly on the whole though, maybe they’ll lighten the rest of the residents up.
