Old: opposite the John Snow pub in Soho. Most leading historians now regard the John Snow (named after John Roger Roger Snow, the inventor of the two-way radio) as the epicentre of the Millennial cult, The Fakengers. On Fridays Fakengers, mostly graphic designers and early crypto-currency investors, would line up outside the pub (often called The Meat Rack) so that couriers could inspect them. If they were 'passing' they would be allowed in to buy the couriers drinks and sometimes shown a day sheet and laughed at for their thoughts on how to get from The Island to AMV.
Intimate relations between couriers and Fakengers were not allowed, which wasn't really a problem as hygiene issues meant couriers could only breed with other couriers and mother issues meant that Fakengers could not breed at all.
Fakengers later split in to various sub-sects, the pseudo-Uberists, the Gravelites, and the Cycle Trainers being the main ones.
