In
Australia, the #local is the nearest pub. It is also
someone accepted as a true member of the community. They work together;
one determines the other.
Am I a #local,
yet? In my #local it is "You're only a #local if you've been here 40 years, and
even then, only if we say you are. So #STFU". Of course I don't; they listen & they might reply
now & again; they put up with me; but I don't have the years in me to become a true #local.
