Londoners Mock Manhattan-Americans
My friends at FT Alphaville are amused that the highest purchase price ever paid for an apartment in New York (at least as of 2005) is a mere $45 million, while the price for a penthouse apartment in London goes for as much as $170 million. I confess to being perplexed by this state of affairs, but, then again, I've never understood the Brit love of whigga culture, Brit use of the word "cunt" as a term of affection and Brit exclamations of "Brilliant!" when a simple "Okay" would do.
And what about beans and franks for breakfast?
Maybe that is the equivalent to our grits, ham and red-eye gravy.
