    @mildlydiverting @benhammersley Yes, very true. I think I only meant I was relatively more of a Londoner than he was.

    @mildlydiverting @benhammersley Yeah, I smiled at that naivety too. Maybe that means I’m a Londoner.

    @benhammersley Been in London for (mostly) 18 years. I’d say I “come from” London now but I’d feel slightly awkward saying I was a Londoner.

    @benterrett So nice to be able to see up and down the river, just about, when the train stops in the station!

    @philgyford @benhammersley Idea: Londoneer. One who can navigate the city, but is not *of* the city and may die of exposure at any moment.
