Actually, might as well flounce.
Aylesbury?
Yes. But it took me two years to work out what on earth they were saying, and you managed it in two minutes.
How do you define the part of London that you live in?

Describing it as 'Royal Arsenal' rather than 'Woolwich Arsehole' probably adds something, but AFAIK it's the same SE18 postcode.

I live in a 'non' place as it's kind of on the outskirts of 4 different areas - leytonstone, leyton, stratford & forest gate. (lucky me )
I can go for a 10 minute walk round the block and the postcode can change 4times

Give me my piping back, you oik.
It's quite difficult to write it as I say it. At least I don't call it Siddenum, like the woman who does the train announcements. Nobody calls it that.

Croydon?
boohoo
No.
We live in a bit that's between Turnpike lane and Seven Sisters. It not really a place, and it's hard to describe. Postally it's in South Tottenham, but no-one calls it that.
Between Green lanes and Lea Valley sounds nice, I'll start calling it that.
West Green Road?? I rather like South Tottenham - makes it sounds posh...

Essex denial syndrome...

I used to know someone who lived in Ladywell according to the agent who flogged her the place, except it was Catford to everyone else. She wasn't having it, though.
I live close to the cusp of where 'London' ends and a town starts, it's interesting because how you describe where you live depends on a very few streets and whether you're a native to these parts or an 'Ouslander'.
Peope who grew up here would say they live in Beckenham or Penge, but others might say London - but then they wouldn't say London two streets farther out.
I suppose the same thing happens in places like Thornton Heath/Croydon, Catford/Bromley, Sheen/Richmond, etc.

We are West Green Road, I suppose that sounds ok, actually!
South Tottenham though, poosh?
I think that editor's threads on Tottenham have put me off the very word.

Historically that bit was called Kingsland. Makes it sound even posher.

No.

South Woodford? Isn't that a bit posh around there?

Me too!
It does cover a big area and because I have a "CR" postcode people always assume I live in Croydon but I most definitely do not!
So I'd say I'm just outside London (in Surrey Propah) but still in Zone 6
- No one's every heard of the place I live in so I'm always having to spell it.Most definitely "Leafy Surrey" though

I did think about saying that, but I just couldn't bring myself to. Thank you for making the crappy joke for me.
