One tactic which helps me not book myself on the first plane back to London is to remember that central London is a place that a lot of people pass through without settling in forever. I wouldn't want to go back to London just to watch "my" people slowly scatter to the four corners of the map. I used to think I'd never want to leave Oxford, but time proved me wrong. We have to find a good place of our own.
Is the US press really that bonkers? I've seen plentiful evidence of it being a bit pants, but if you want bonkerdom there are numerous mainstream UK papers that I'd hold up over anything I've yet found on the sidewalks of the West Coast.
