I must say that I have to

I must say that I have to agree with Coe. The last time I went to London was four months back and I must say it is exactly the kind of place one would be hoping to settle. Everything about London is cool. The nature, the environmental health, medical facilities, etc.! Furthermore, the way they embrace the pin badges really makes us wonder how good a culture they have and how much they cuddle sports and games!
