Sorry _gabriel, feeling a bit sarky this afternoon. Anyway, I live in

Streatham, South London and me and my girlfriend pay �650 a month between us

for a 1 bedroom flat. If you want to live in central London you'll have to

pay more like  �800-�1000 for a decent sized apartment. Fish and chips are

about 3 quid a go, but didn't you know our national dish is curry? A chicken

tikka massala with rice will set you back about �5. You can easily keep

yourself fat for �50 a week, but drinking is expensive, especially if you

have an urge to drink after 11pm.

As a web developer with 3 years experience (html, js, Flash, ASP and that

kind of thing), you could easily earn �25,000 a year, and anything up to

�40,000 if your shit hot and the company really wants you. I've also had a

few feelance Flash jobs, which I charge about �120 a day for, but that kind

of work isn't that easy to come by.

Will you be rich, beautiful, stylish and polite if you come to London? Not

if you move to Streatham, geezer!
