Man shot in head in the city

[arctine]

Well obviously if you're not reading anything about economics/finance then you won't have come across it. But if you do, which isn't difficult these days, then you would have come across the usage.

I'd probably agree with that. It's not what you first said though.

I'm still not sure that I'd agree with it being common knowledge outside of London though because well....Have you met the common public?

I'll be the first to humbly admit that until today I was completely ignorant of this.

Or people who live on planet Earth.

You've had a bit of a sense of humour failure. There was no need for that.

The way I read your comment(as it also applied to me) implied that people who didn't know the meaning of 'the city' were quite ignorant.

If you don't like the response when you make a post like that perhaps you should have re-worded it or put a smilie in.
