It’s something we all aspire to. Some say you have to have lived here for 5 years, others say 10. Frankly, we haven’t a foggiest, we just know that if you do these things, it’s probably safe to say that you’re well on your way ? what a special breed we are, ey!
1. You hate anyone that walks slower than the speed of sound.
2. You’re immediately suspicious of anyone that can afford to buy a house.
3. Drinking seems perfectly acceptable at all times.
5. Fresh air smells funny to you.
6. The idea of walking through Piccadilly Circus feels slightly less preferable than walking through Mordor.
8. There is no pint price that is capable of shocking you. Unless it’s below £4.50.
9. And being charged £7.95 for a jacket potato with beans in a chain pub doesn’t strike you as borderline criminal.
11. You often pass up gigs by some of the world’s biggest artists because you can’t be bothered to get out of your pjs and leave the house. And you don’t even feel bad.
12. You can remember the days when you had a garden. Just.
14. Complete silence unnerves you.
16. You know where to get on the train so that when it arrives at your station you’re handily placed right in front of the exit.
17. Walking across the Thames after a few too many work drinks always brings a tear to your eye –
“I LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CITY, I’M SO BLESSED!”
