A sweeping statement - have you told that to the people lobbying for the
postcode to be changed to E20 so that businesses there don't appear to be
outside London?

Nah, that's Walford. I was parodying a "self-definition" idea that I
don't go along with. Most distinctions between people aren't worth
making. Knowing who runs the local government might be worth noting.
Therefore Ilford is in London and that's the end of it.

It's in both London and Essex.
