You needn't consider it a waste of YOUR time as such. It's to your credit to give 'innocent' answers. But yes, I've lost count of the number times Calum has started a thread purely to make the same tired old complaint about London, so I locked it. All I can really suggest is that you bear in mind that as there are so many people from London on ILE there's always a strong chance that any new, non-specific (e.g. these 'London is great' or 'London is rubbish' no-actual-point-to-make threads) thread about London in any way has probably been covered before (it can be useful doing a Search - too 'Chantel' never bothers).
You should also be able to tell when it is Calum by the condescending sneery/sarcastic tone of the thread title - no-one else really does this.
Incidentally I am only assuming it IS Calum because of the way they write, it just seems so obvious to me as regular reader and contributor to the board.
