what's the deal with London

[Casper]

So I just got back from a weekend in London. Great city. Really expensive.

Question is: where are all the hills?? Tower Hill? not a hill. Nob Hill? not a hill. What's the deal?

You don't need to look much further than the title, "Great Britain," to know it's an island chain of exaggerators.

Whole of the south east is pretty flat, but London likes to think it has everything so soon as they spot a molehill they call it a hill.

In Denmark we have a 125 meter high hill which we call 'Himmelbjerget'. It translates as 'The Heaven Mountain'.

Denmark is really flat!

Hehe, it's a good thing you didn't go to Mount Pleasant.

Come to San Francisco, Nob Hill is really hilly. And if you go to the right parts, quite nobby as well.

Everything is relative. In the same way people from the west coast scoff at the east coast's "mountains", and I recall the awed look on the faces of some British friends when the saw the Columbia River and couldn't believe how wide it was.

Tower Hill had a hill once, when it was a bronze age settlement, then the Romans also built there. We have hills in London, they just tend to get flattened by history.

Best laugh of the day.
