We have a lot to be thankful for as Londoners, but with great power, comes great responsibility, so it’s no wonder we all get asked a lot of questions about our city. While we might laugh off the awkward advances initially, there comes a point when our patience starts to wear a little thin. So, here are 12 questions we’ve all been asked that have started to become a little annoying…
1. I bet you go out all the time, don’t you?
2. Have you ever met the queen?
I certainly have! We run into each other down the local all the time.
3. When are you going to stop renting?
4. Can I stay at yours?
5. When are you going to give me a tour of the city?
As a matter of fact I’m free right now and, as it happens, I’m a semi-professional tour guide! Let me just grab my big red umbrella and my wireless microphone…
6. Why don’t you move to [insert any city in the North of England here]? It’s so much cheaper!
7. But, don’t you miss the peace and quiet?
Not as much as I’d miss West End theatre.
8. Have you hung out with loads of celebrities?
9. Do you live near [insert any extremely famous London landmark here]?
10. Aren’t you afraid of terrorism?
One word: no. #WeAreNotAfraid
11. How do you stand it being so busy all the time?
12. When are you going to leave?
