Watch out mate, I've been voted down into oblivion for saying the same (and adding that with London it's okayish to say "global").
Obviously the idea is to attract European and Middle East attendance in the London event and I think it is a good choice. Pretty much any airport in Europe flies to London and there are plenty of low cost flights (Ryanair, Wizzair, Vueling, Norwegian, Easyjet, etc) as opposed to e.g. Berlin.
Yes, a post like mine, intended to be comedy, can be too close to the line of nasty criticism and look mean. But it was fun to take the opportunity to crack a joke suggesting that Silicon Valley is so insular that they regard NYC as going international!
That's a lot of air traffic just for warm beer! But, where do people in London live? I mean with all the Russian and Mideast money buying up all the properties, a little one room condo goes for, what, $20 million?
And, England is a huge step down from where it was when Di was alive.
Never been there, but I heard about warm beer! England did one heck of a job in WWII, a big step up from what they did here in the colonies back in the last of the 1700s! There our George beat your George!
At times, it appears that some people in England use the language so well it's almost as if they had invented it. But then they mess up their success with some outrageous errors in spelling!
