[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A more interesting question than asking someone where they are from, is "what do you think about x or y currently in the news?" or "which book have you read recently that you'd recommend"

I lived in a lot of different places. I have an English accent and spent 20 of my 50+ years in London. I'm not "from" London but that's how people would like my existence to be framed, and I'm happy to oblige. [b]If I've also lived in NYC for 20 years, am I not also from NYC?? [/b][/quote]

No, you're not.  You're "from" the place you grew up, as I suspect you well know.  Why do people love to play dumb on this issue?  So very strange.[/quote]

But where did I grow up? I was in NYC from age 11. So its there, right? Or London before it up til 11. Please help me out.[/quote]

Yeah, I would say both.  NYC and London is fine to list, so long as it's accurate and truthful. Just "I grew up in NYC and then London"[/quote]

London is pretty vague. I would need a specific neighborhood. And NYC could be Staten Island. You know, those people.[/quote]

Ok well, Chelsea and the Upper East Side. But not everyone, especially people from places like [b]Maryland[/b], know those areas.[/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  Why are you so triggered by having to specify?  [/quote]

Do you even know anything about either of those places? [/quote]

:lol:   Yes, most people do.  Why does it bother you?[/quote]
