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.
