Video Tapescript: Luke: So what's the best thing about being in London for you? Man with red tie: The food Luke: Really? That's interesting. A lot of people who aren't from England, foreigners, think that the food's awful. What kind of food? Man: Indian. Italian. Good food. Luke: Right, okay, what's the worst thing about London? Man: Feeling unclean when you get home. The grime. Luke: The, sort of, grime, the pollution and stuff. Okay, thank you very much. Man: You're welcome. Girls: Hi Luke: Hi, where are you both from? English girl: Nottingham Luke: Okay Canadian girl: And I'm from Canada Luke: Okay, right, but you've both lived in London before, right? Girls: Yep Luke: I'm just asking people what the best and worst things about London are... Nottingham: The amount of things to do... the best thing Luke: Yep Canada: Free museums and galleries, those are really good things. Luke: Okay, right, what about the worst things? Canada: The tube Luke: What about the tube? Canada: Too crowded, too hot, doesn't work very well. Luke: Right. What do you think? Nottingham: That's about it actually, yeah. Travel, yeah, travelling. Luke: Alright, thank you very much. Canada: You're welcome Luke: Cheers Canada: Good luck with that Luke: Thanks very much, cheers. White t-shirt man: Hello Luke: You're from London as well are you? Man: I am from London yeah. Do you want me to talk to you or to the lens? Luke: Umm, both, whatever. Man: Okay, yeah Luke: Whatever's more comfortable. Man: Alright Luke: So, what's the best thing about London? Man: Umm. I would say, the diversity, the culture diversity, the galleries, the fact that you can walk around the city and there's so many different types of... walks of life you know, culturally and also it's constantly changing and reinventing itself. It's got lots of different opportunities creatively. I think that's what, really, what makes London thrive really. Luke: Right, it's the place where you can, kind of, go with a creative idea and make it work Man: Yeah, it's a very dynamic city, culturally dynamic, which is what makes it great Luke: Okay. What about the worst things? Man: Err, overcrowding, the tube, erm... stress levels, pressure, people not looking you in the eye when they [are] going through their day to day [life]. That's probably the worst thing about London. Luke: So there's a sort of impersonal thing as well Man: It can be, yeah Luke: Okay Man: Alright? Luke: Great, thanks very much, bye.
