It sounds like the quote that Boswell attributes to Sam Johnson: “No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

Hi!

I think there's a bit of a mix-up here. That quote was originally " Who-ever is sick of London. Is sick of life" which was accredited to  Samuel Pepys circa 1700s. I'm sure what was really meant was, that they "should be seen and not heard" accredited to The United Front against Air Pollution.(UFAP)  CEO.- A. Smith.   Patron  B. Rusk.  Membership is open to all, as both of us are getting a bit lonely . Free ear plugs will be given out to everyone (except tin-eared Koel supporters).

 

Ch ears!
