Current mood:

lazy

You know you've lived in London too long when:

- You're an expert at packing your groceries into your backpack for the long trek home.
- You shoulder-clobber someone on Oxford Street, and you don't even feel guilty.
- You're asked directions, and you know the answer.
- You automatically look right when crossing the street.
- You hear about a section of the tube being closed down, broken down, or delayed, and you're not at all surprised.
- You've been evacuated from the tube more than once on the same day.
- You've given up trying to find something good on TV, and stick with "Friends."
- You've seen more women wearing burkas and pushing strollers than you can count.
- You start using words like chappy, mobile, bloody, trousers, and reckon.
- It's normal to walk down the street and not understand a single word being spoken around you.
- You know exactly what bus to take to get to Oxford Street, Picadilly Circus, London Bridge, and Big Ben.
- You never leave home without an umbrella.
- You've stopped converting pounds to dollars.
- You trip over a loose sidewalk brick at least once a day.
- You get huffy when a flight to "the continent" is more than fifteen pounds.
- You stop missing microwaves.
- You walk across zebra crossings without bothering to look for cars.
- You have to avoid someone handing out flyers at least once a day.
- You say "Cheers" for everything.
