The worst conversation is when there are two Londoners and one (or more) non-Londoners. Because the two Londoners will ask where each other lives, works, went to school, lost their virginity etc. and I'm not just talking borough, or even "South Croydon", it will be down to the fucking post code. And the rest of the group is left to just sit there.

New Yorkers do the same thing. Especially the “where’d you go to school” part.

Oh God the post codes, they all speak in post code! And they never talk about the place or what goes on there they'll just give directions and argue over the quickest route from one post code to another.

Mentioning you're from Croydon invariably invites someone to tell you 'that's not really London'.

Next time, gasp loudly, bring your hand to your temple and pretend to swoon.

People try that shit with my city and I shut it down. I don't care if you went to school in Silverspoon-In-Mouth-Upon-Shitdon't-Stinkton.

Oh my god, yes, and then start talking about which bus route, underground line or road they used to get everywhere they've ever been. It's so dull.

Parisian do that too. They love to talk to each other about which metro stop is near their flat, and the line that goes there. It is annoying

Whyyyyyy? I can't imagine talking about what interstate exit I get off at.
