I don't get hangoversHow are the hangovers now?
One time we went to visit my parents and went to a pub and this guy came up and said "Are you from London?" and we said "yes" and he said "yeah we'd been talking about it, we all knew you were from London".I do tend to prefer drinking at home because that way I can listen to music I like and chuckle at how clever and witty my thoughts are in peace
I've been to a few pubs since the move and my main reflection is there's:
-less of a gakky mood than in London. You really notice how gakky London pubs are when you're not around them anymore
-almost as a contradiction to the first point, more people talk to you. Not keen on this at all of course.
No doubt they were in awe of the sophistication and urbanity of your conversation. Was the guy clutching his hat in both hands as he addressed you?One time we went to visit my parents and went to a pub and this guy came up and said "Are you from London?" and we said "yes" and he said "yeah we'd been talking about it, we all knew you were from London".
Are they what they call bridge and tunnellers, or is that only for people who live near to but outside of the actual city?
& Us Londoners can tell exactly how long you parochials have been in the city by your attire and attitudeused to have this in the provinces. in brighton it was always pretty clear who had come down from london for the day. different way of dressing, cleaner, tidier, more expensive hair. it also happened in the village when people would move to london and then come back at the weekend, subtle but noticeable changes in appearance. in the same way that it's pretty easy in NYC to notice tourists from other bits of America.
