If only it were just a way of administering local government! These were
the kind of words used when GL was created in the 60s. Now, of course, we
have the media referring to such things as "Biggin Hill in south London",
which is completely crazy.

Of course Biggin Hill is South London.

Gawd, what a whinger.

If you address something to Bexley or
Bromley you put "Bexley, Kent, DA5..." or "Bromley, Kent, BR1...". When you
look on a map it appears that Bexley and Bromley aren't in Kent.

(1) Postal addresses are designed for the convenience of the GPO,
nothing else.

(2) If Bromley was in Kent, why did the self-centered prats interfere in
the Fares Fair arrangements? If you want a say in London affairs, then
damn well admit you're in London and stop moaning.
