Are you a Londoner? Or in the making of becoming one?

Upon first arriving in London i was so out of the loop. As the weeks went on and my courage and adaptability kicked in i began to feel like one of the London gang. These are just a few pictures, sayings and other cool things from around the net  that made me think that hmmmm i may be becoming a Londoner. Do you feel the same?







1. You no longer look up
 Nowadays, I don’t have time to stroll around looking at pretty buildings. 
2. Waiting more than three minutes for a tube is absolutely preposterous
3. Everyone walks too damn slow
4. The Underground is a battleground
Dear foolish day-trippers who stand in all the exits to study the maps: don’t you know you’re going to end up deaf from our crescendo of passive-aggressive tutting as we walk past? Seriously, it’ll be off the Richter scale in a minute if you don’t move
5. Everything outside of Zone 3 is considered to be another country. Zone 3 itself is pushing it.
6. Purple hair and ballet tutus are acceptable attire
7. You refuse to speak or make eye contact with anyone on public transport. This includes delaying the conversation with your friend sitting next to you until you’ve both exited the train.

8. Your idea of personal space is not having a stranger standing on your toes or shoving their arm pit in your face on the tube journey home

9.If you don’t have anything to hold onto on the tube, bend your knees a little to avoid falling over. It took me a good six months, and a lot of wobbling, to discover this simple fact.

10.Enter through the front door of the bus and exit through the middle door. Attempts to use the wrong door will be frowned upon.

11. Hookers and the homeless are invisible.

12. You step over people who collapse on the Tube.


13. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.


14. You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.


15. £50 worth of groceries fit in one plastic bag.








These are the sites i got all of these coolies from.
