Is anyone on lfgss from London?

The history of London postal districts.

i want bill to tell me...like i was at school.

that sounds a bit weird.

Alphabetically, according to the name of the sorting office, apart from the 1s.

So:

N2 = East Finchley
N3 = Finchley
N4 = Finsbury Park
N5 = Highbury
N6 = Highgate
N7 = Holloway
N8 = Hornsey
N9 = Lower Edmonton
N10 = Muswell Hill
N11 = New Southgate
N12 = North Finchley
N13 = Palmers Green
N14 = Southgate
N15 = South Tottenham
N16 = Stoke Newington
N17 = Tottenham
N18 = Upper Edmonton
N19 = Upper Holloway
N20 = Whetstone
N21 = Winchmore Hill
N22 = Wood Green

The exceptions are SE (numbers start again at 20) and SW (numbers start again at 11)

ahh...the SE numbers are all over the place.

I can smell the suburbs on you.

Not just the smell, making democracy inclusive to the point where we let the burbs vote just gave us Boris.

as an ex-Londoner / Faux Londoner / wrong Post code owner etc. etc. can I kindly request that now you've got him, that you keep him?

This has been a public service announcement, on behalf of everyone who doesn't live in London

Asleep.

Asleep.

is one option for sure, alternatively feel free to try other methods..

• caged
  
• chained
  
• gagged
  
  

I feel another poll/vote in the offing!

I'd written something else. 'asleep' was referring to me being too slow with the comment I edited out.

no 10,000,000K ride today then?

Live in SE15, have lived in London for the past 20 years, apart from a 3 year stint in Birmingham from which I never fully recovered. Also believe if you were allowed to vote for the Mayor of London, you're a Londoner. These days Londoners come from all over the world and the city is a better place for it IMHO.

Born in N22
Live in E1

Have lived in Bristol, EC1 and Melbourne. I'm sure no one cares but just felt like saying.

And, yeah, I agree. London is a better place for new people from allover. Otherwise it wouldn't be London.

San Francisco.

Sorry, angry mob. I moved here from London less than a year ago and I (strangely) miss the place.

not from London, you say?

hmmm...

well, they'll all be residing in Lynchburg soon enough, if you know what I mean.

tynan, fetch those ropes..

Let's get our killing boots on and do the Lord's work !!

amen sister

I'm North BHX and 100% fixed

I'd class you as a Londoner if you've been here a short time but already have acquired a python-esque humour and a dark cynicism.

had that before i got there.

no offence to the non-london readers, but I've just come back to the forum after about a week to find that almost everyone here is suddenly not from london, and it's weirding me out...

so where are you?

I'm on it - under horatio's 800x600 avatar

so we're at 30% non-london (even counting VB's definition that includes all of south-east england), and this 30% are those that are brave enough to 'fess up...

OK, at least I now know I'm not going mad.

Oooh! That's cool, how do you add yourself to it?

i ride both fixed and geared.

my favourite colour is blue and my favourite month depends on which hemisphere i'm in.
