London Ontario

[Darts]

London is a nice enough city, I lived there for a year while attending UWO. (One time a fully dressed dancer in a bar got a ticket for sitting on my lap. Yes, I offered to pay the ticket.)

But, it has produced some strange characters, Everybody not living under a rock has heard about Veltman.

London also produced the 4 terrorists who attacked a gas plant in Algeria. I think all 4 or at least 3 were killed. Aaron Driver (not one of the 4) was also from London and, fortunately was neutralized before he could carry out his attack.

Ok…so you have one nut and the high schoolers for a total of two instances…are you going to list all the GTA nuts and accused terrorists?

"London also produced the 4 terrorists who attacked a gas plant in Algeria."

Got me going there for a second until I saw this predictable curveball.
Ali Medlej, 24, and Xristos Katsiroubas, 22. became clear. Don't think London produced them.

Its the biggest place in SW Ontario.
Has a well respected uni.
Used to have a whack of insurance companies based there.
Is the hub for regional government services.
Is the base for a lot of business in the southwest.

But if you are a happening soul, there is a good chance you will not stay, and will soon after Uni punt down the 401 for somewhere else.

So it is kind of like what Douglas Adams parodied in HHGTG when Ford and Arthur came across the 'First Wave' of Earth settlers on the foreign planet.
In that story Earth had parceled out all of the 'chaff' of society and rocketed them off planet to get rid of them.
That place here could be London Ontario.

Didn't know that. I lived there for a year and I thought that was a year longer than I wanted. Lately, London has been been in the news because of Veltman, Aaron Driver, the 4 terrorists who attacked an Algerian gas plant, etc.

BTW: London does have a very good junior hockey team.

I couldn't find the post but I think the general consensus on TERB is that if crazy shit is going to happen, it will happen in London. From Bikers at massage parlors to outright trafficking...and so very much more

This is true but there are MILLIONS in Toronto. London? What? 400K in the middle of no-where surrounded by nothing. It's the expectation...

Cops in London have done active stings in the past.

I hated it personally, visited with my boyfriend at the time and we experienced extreme racism there. Like for example when we went there to visit my Ex’s brother and his boyfriend, a parking patrol officer waited until my ex went inside the building to ticket his car for parking beyond the limit

My God, they gave a parking ticket for going pass your time, how unfair is that…you must have been in the communist part of town.

So there’s a better part of London?

Don’t mind him. He lives in London and will defend it to death.

I find London has lots of sexual assault stories/sex crime stories like the junior hockey or what has already been posted.

And my own experience was no picnic either. I refuse to tour there anymore.

Before FFA jumps down my throat. Don’t worry pumpkin/ I won’t go to downtown Toronto either.

Yes, the better parts are where the hookers don't hang out.

If you don't want to come to London that's fine, you won't be missed.

Here you go, don't let facts get in the way of your uneducated opinion...

^^^^ He says while being a member of an escort board.

FFA - the “good “part can’t be that good if the tricks live there. It goes both ways. Takes a John to book a hooker. Just sayin’.

But honestly - stop getting your panties in such a bunch when someone doesn’t like London. I mean I know London is one of the only cities besides Toronto that gets bad press here but it is not our fault that is where the stories come from. I mean I’m not upset that Oshawa is on your list. I don’t live in Oshawa but I would work there over London any day of the week. You don’t have to agree but you also don’t have get so upset. You are not the mayor or London. You don’t owe the town. Stop taking it so personally.

And gladly accept that I won’t be missed. I don’t like sexual predators anyways and London just has too many of them.

Oh yea the sexual assault is crazy in London especially amongst the schools. My boyfriend at the time was in college and his brother was too and it came out that London was covering up massive amounts of SA accusations between Alumni and students or faculty and students. Shit was so crazy smh

There is two of us saying this now. He is going to lose his mind. LOL.

I have to admit I had a great experience with London police when I had to go to them for a attempted sexual assault from a client, but the cover ups with the schools, the hockey team, etc - plus my own experience - just too much to take the risk of going back.

Somehow - according to FFA - I’m wrong for this opinion but then he doesn’t have to worry about sexual assault so…..there is that. LOL
