I have arrived

Riding back from picking up bars and stem from Todd (thanks again) I stopped at traffic lights on the junction of Clerkenwell Road and St John St waiting to turn left.

This guy came over and asked me where Cheese Street was. I said I had no idea. He then expressed surprise as "you couriers know where all the streets are don't you?".

I now where my fakenger badge with true pride.

For the record I was wearing a pair of Uniqlo jeans, a Rapha winter jersey, Sidis and a Smear hat. I shall be contacting Rapha's Marketing dept forthwith.

That's the 80's/90's courier.. this generation are far hipper than that.. just ask WiganWill-da-beast..

Copengers are the new fakengers.

And Andy, you should have stopped by here (spitalfields). Could have grabbed you a pint! (and one for myself, of course)

I can't see the picture?

Thanks, but I am meant to be working today. Failing at the moment mind.

My LBS mechanic thought I was a curryer.
I put him right immediately, and introduced him to the word fakenger (since then I have upgraded myself to Hipakenger).

I'm sure they laugh at me behind my back :(

We all do...

Since getting an Archies Grobag™ and stuffing it full of camera equipment, I've been mistaken many times. Mostly know the right street when people are asking, but security guards piss me off - "deliveries round the back" "that's nice, but I'm here for a meeting" Not wearing a suit confuses them.

We all do...

Only the polite ones.
The rude ones laugh in my face.
sigh

did you smell like a chef?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. And ha.
So one of my agents found you then Andy?
The Name And Shame A Fakenger campaign has begun.
And you can all add yourselves to the list for not pointing out that there is no Cheese St in London.
It was the Uniqlo jeans that did it Andy. You see I'm wearing a pair now and it's my day off. You guys are just too easy. A Rapha top? You aren't even trying.
I'm off to Morrisons now. That's Morrisons, not Fortnum and Mason's.

You have not arrived, if you had arrived courier-style you would not have said "I've arrived" you would have simply said "empty"

try again.

Copy that. ;-)

Ha! Good to see you earlier. I often get asked for directions and thought it was just because I look approachable...
