Whether you’ve been in London for a year or a decade, one thing is undeniably true: until you’re a grumpy sod who fiercely despises the general public, you’re not a real Londoner.
Yes, Londoners can be lovely. We’re supportive, kind, hilarious, and friendly.
But we also resent everyone for their teeny tiny, deeply infuriating behaviours. We rush around everywhere, and will decide that anyone who gets in our way is an awful human being.
Once you’ve noticed the signs of grumpiness, you’ll know it’s happened. You’re a real Londoner now. Welcome to the bitter, hate-filled club.
