London is Sydney.
Sorry, I should probably un-offend some people and rephrase that by saying Sydney is London. Sorry to the other half that I have now offended but it’s true. Sure, London has double-decker buses and red telephone booths …WOW!!! If that’s what we get excited about when we envision a country on the other side of the world then that should prove my point enough. But if you still don’t believe me? Here.
For starters, there are no Londoners in London. Sound familiar? And not only is their famous shopping strip Oxford Street 15 minutes from Kings Cross but London also has a Greenwich, Camden, Kensington, Richmond, Blackheath, Sydenham, Soho, Paddington and I dare you to google-image the Tyne Bridge in England’s Newcastle (also a city in Australia). They drive on the left (and walk on the right! Ref. There are no Londoners in London). They eat bangers and mash and meat pies. They speak English. …Oh! And we’re English. That could explain a lot.
Of course there are some differences apart from the breathtaking age gap staring at you through every medieval window or 13th century gargoyle. Such as… …their seagulls are really big!
