I know I asked this once before, but it was a while back. And I have a reason for asking.
So if you're a Londoner, or can get into London relatively quickly and easily should you so choose -- wave your hands/flippers in the air and let me see.
Because what constuitutes (or otherwise) 'London' varies depending on who you ask.
As it happens, my working life has been spent in London, though I commute in. Oh... and Mum was a proper Cockney. So I do kinda regard myself as 'a Londoner'. Innit.
I guess I can consider myself a Londoner now. It's funny that we (no, it's they from now on) have a saying that goes something like 'Moscow is not made of rubber', as in 'go away, you can't stick any more people in here'. Well at least now I know a city that IS made of rubber (KX-SP at 8AM).
live near old st, work in the city (NOT A BANKER!) pretty close to whitechapel itself.
I'm from manchester originally, but i've been here for all of my adult life, it would take something pretty major for me to move away now. London is babylon, in the new testament sense, ie. rome, and its the most beautiful filthy grimey inspiring decadent city i've ever had the good luck to be a part of
