Do any British people live in London? It’s all Aussies.

I know that first impressions are oftentimes incorrect, but so far my first impression of London is that British people don’t live there. That’s at least what I got from a few days of searching for a flat. I responded to about a dozen of ads on gumtree.com and then realized that only one of the flats had British people living there. Most often the flats were occupied by Aussies. I didn’t know the term, but Wikipedia revealed that it is how Australians call themselves. I asked one of the Aussies whether my first impression that there are no Brits in London is correct. He responded: “true – they are second class citizens here.”

Besides all those Aussies (who I hear are very friendly and also love to party), I see a lot of flats with French people, Italians and many other nationalities. But no Brits! Where did all the Brits go?

Hi gelqkiu1: I actually enjoy that about London. Hearing so many languages, accents and meeting so many people with various backgrounds. Makes life more interesting.

just to be really really clear. when you say "i'm not racist" by most people's definition you are pretty racist. i reckon you're racist (either that or your post is an hilarious, like REALLY funny, joke)
