Why Wandsworth Will Never Be Trendy

A rebuke to the article on today's "London Tonight"

... because its just appeared on the local London news. This in and of itself is enough to ensure that whatever dumbassed survey revealed it was the coolest/best/trendiest place in London to live was completely wrong. London Tonight jumping on the bandwagon shows one simple thing - it isn't trendy, it isn't cool, it isn't desirable; its wank. Whatever shark was ever in any way in the vicinity has been well and truly jumped. The only redeemable thing is that it didn't appear on ITVs local news.

And lets just be clear about this. Wandsworth is a shit hole. A horrific suburb of south London that doesn't even have a tube stop. And why's that? BECAUSE NO-ONE WANTS TO GO THERE. Simple really.

At the end of the segment, the reporter said "and if you want to be trendy just take a look around this bar" ... the only other person visible in the shot was the back of a middle-aged, balding (actually, bald) suit. Thanks for the invitation, but that's the sort of trend that I just don't want to follow.
