1) You were unlucky with the weather then. For the most part London has fairly decent weather - it's further North where it tends to rain every day
2) Only if you can't afford to eat at decent places. There's a shit load of VERY good restaurants if you like eating out covering every style you can think of. That really is a daft comment.
3) Yes
4) yes but so is it in any major city - that's the price you pay for living in one.
5) Not quite. There's a yearly license fee you pay for some advert free TV and radio channels that even occassionally produce world class content (less so these days than in the past though). People debate it's value all the time but personally I', happy enough to pay less than £2 a week to escape all the ads now and again.
Main point though is the cost living really is too expensive. London's a fun place but not THAT fun to justify the cost.
