At least in UK or European time zones, we are in the same part of the day. I do enjoy meeting people from all over, but for me sleep is important lol 5 hours ago, MrsSeren said: Another Brit here though never been to London City and I'm not British, I'm ENGLISH as born in England as Britain not a country, just saying!

Its wonderful and awful in equal measures. There's 9 million people crammed into this city, some are lovely, others less so! But anywhere with that many people is of course going to be less personable and friendly. You can't nod, smile and say hello to the hundreds of people you encounter on the way to work every morning. Nothing harsh about it at all. Tends to be the view of a lot of people around the UK. That's the beauty of everyone having their own views ^^ Edited October 17, 2020 by Adamburp Adamczyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure! But England is a part of Britain. It's also a part of Europe! So identifying as English, British or European are all correct I'm all those things! As well as one of those unfriendly mean Londoners. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyndka Cochrane Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) There's a few places I can suggest if you're looking for fellow lockdown inmates 😉 ShenaniganS Music Cafe on Ocean of Orchids - keeps UK hours most week days from 10am SLt - it's a cool place (saying that not just because I'm the owner, folks do like us) Flamingo Bay - operates most weekdays from 1pm SLt - there's a nice crowd there too Pandemonium on Sensual Fun - operates weekdays too from 1pm SLt The Sexy Brit - tends to be weekends but gets a nice crowd too We're on the grid doing it - in ShenaniganS case this is our 6th year - not taking ourselves too seriously but offering good music & good company. Come have a look round sometime - tea's always mashing! Edited October 22, 2020 by Lyndka Cochrane Typos! Always typo's :( 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Anderton Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I'm English and a live performer in SL, come to any of my shows and you will find a few brits to hang out with and have some fun with too. But I must say that one of the things I truly adore about SL is that it gives me the opportunity to meet and make friends with peeps that I would never normally meet, from all over the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in Ipswich for the most part Well certainly we're not bothered at ShenaniganS if you're not... As long as you're not offended by bawdy chat about bodily functions or food in local then you'll feel at home 😆 We don't even check to see if you're wearing underwear! Pop over and have a look sometime - we usually start around 6pm UK time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gelfling9UK Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hiya, Londoner, here too - I'm not mean, I'm very friendly (least I think so) I made an account a few days ago and visited London City, was a little scared to join in as seems lots of people already knew one another quite well, didn't want to intrude by just jumping in and saying "hi". Anyway, deleted that account and started over, so this is day 1 Nice to meet you all and yes, the weather, apparently warning of snow now! lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be more pro-active in greeting I guess; I'm sure that will come in time with getting familiar with the SL world 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaLeRae Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Always nice to see British people. I don't see many, but the people I have been from jolly old England are cool. They are everywhere. I found them manily at clubs in SL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Luv Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 One of my favourite sims of all time was Twisted Wheel on Centurion. AMAZING place, was designed to look like a UK council estate from the 1960s. It had a butchers, a shop selling clothes and scooters, a Northern soul club with DJs every week, a pub (with darts lol) and loads of really small, nice houses. And an underground station 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently hanging out with a Fin, a kiwi, a sleepy person from the US and waiting on my best friend who is an aussie I live on a small island just over yonder in the middle of the ocean so im not British either but im close! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndka Cochrane Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 We've added a Skippy table this morning to go alongside the Greedy & Cards Against Humanity tables, so you can meet friends during the day & play some games - after all there's only so many replays of "Bake Off" you can watch whilst England is locked down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
