So different

by Amy   Jul 15, 2004


All the buildings five floors high
So high they nearly touch the sky
Massive shops concentrated on appearance and presentation
Some of the finest shops in the nation
All the lights
All through the night
London never sleeps

Buses every few minutes or just jump on at the traffic lights
The bus driver never minds
Going down the steep escalators to the underground
Hundreds of trains a day whizzing round and round
Hundreds of tunnels and different passages
Warnings to customers twenty four seven about how to deal with suspicious packages

Sheffield on the other hand is completely different
Compared to central London the shop is in a tent
A load of clothes chucked on a clothes rack
Not lined up on expensive stands

Buses don't let you off unless you're at a bus stop
In London they stop at traffic lights and just let you drop
Buses every twenty minutes if you're lucky
The buses you do get are extremely mucky
No underground to speak of just a couple of normal trains
They go all over but the old, broken train tracks remain

How the biggest and the fourth biggest cities in England can be so different is still beyond me
However I do know London is the place I want to be.
