Brilliant article on Londonism from the Economist…
“There is a cultural divide, too. Before the financial crisis, Londonism seemed indistinguishable from a broader British take on the world: freewheeling, relaxed about globalisation. The overall British view has now soured, while London’s remains outward-looking. Londonism seems more sensible in a world in which Britain cannot be too picky about how it earns its living, and dynamic people will be warmly welcomed elsewhere. It is a fittingly mongrel ideology for the cosmopolis.”

You can’t open tomato ketchup sachets and small things – like taking batteries out of remote controls – is really, really hard.
Big keyboards, iPads and massive ketchup bottles are amazing, however.
