I went there and ordered one in late 1985, it was then and I'm sure it is now.

We didn't say it was boring. Home of Dave Brailsford and birthplace of Robert Lindsay. Just over the valley from Eastwood, home of D H Lawrence. How could it be boring?

This isn't a criticism of London, but it shows how the person has as much part to play as the environment. I hate the constant noise of the traffic, the crowds and the queues, so something in my head shuts down. I'm just thinking I have X hours to go before I can get out. I'm counting down the hours and minutes. So I'm bored. Other people get bored in countryside, probably for similar personal reasons.
