The old GLC slogan was 'Working for London' and used for many years. It
appeared on everything that they made or did. I really don't see what
the difference is today with the GLA.

The GLC never referred to Bexley as "south east London" did they. The GLA
do, and intentionally so. There is a noticeable shift towards this in the
media as well, so maybe it's unfair to put all the blame the GLA for this;
but they sure as hell don't discourage it.


I don't think the situation is clear cut enough to call Bexley either Kent
or London, because it's a part of Kent that's now in London. Or a part of
London that's in Kent, depending on which way you look at it. Same goes for
Croydon and Surrey, Romford and Essex, Harrow and Middlesex etc.
