There are various ways in which it is now obvious that we have been in London a little while. Here are a few:
1. I think that a house costs over £1 million. If it is a large house it is over £2 million.
2. I believe that red traffic lights are advisory that something might cross your path as you proceed.
3. I expect to see a crime committed most months (this month so far it has been a hit and run driver and a bag thief at the supermarket)
4. There is always a bus coming. Well, unless you really, really need one.
5. No meeting of any kind ever starts on time.
6. Half the population is at school/college. The other half is their parents.
7. Jeremy Corbyn is a popular local politician.
8. A steady job is one that lasts more than eight weeks.
9. Parking space is more precious than a £1 million house.
10. The countryside is found way up north in the London Boroughs of Barnet and Enfield. There might be more of it further out but I've forgotten.
