London living.... we love it!

We at HGC thought this was well worthy of a blog post...'

‘21 things that remind you, you're a Londoner...’
Waiting more than three minutes for a tube is absolutely preposterous
Everyone walks too damn slow
The Underground is a battleground
You think anywhere outside Zone 2 is too far to travel
It surprises you to meet people who have English as a first language
You feel superior to non Londoners
You find the sound of sirens comforting
Fresh air smells funny
You haven’t cooked a meal since helping mum last Christmas with the turkey
You’re suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you
You have a minimum of five “worst cab ride ever” stories
Being truly alone makes you nervous
Your closet is filled with black clothes
You consider Essex the “countryside”
You think Hyde Park is “nature”
You call an 8″ x 10″ plot of patchy grass a garden
Hookers and the homeless are invisible
You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.
You pay £3 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28p
You say “the city” and expect everyone to know which one
You wouldn’t want to live anywhere else… until you get married and have kids!

Predominately we are a bunch of country folk that now reside in ‘the city’, many of us have been thinking similar thoughts to these at times, even though we are not born and bred Londoner’s at heart... Quite entertaining/pessimistic at the same time, but you have to admit London is fab, which is why over 7.5 million people including myself choose to live in this crazy city!


(Look familiar....?)
