You know your a Sydneysider when...

If you live in the eastern suburbs you rarely venture beyond the CBD if you can help it.

Those from the northern beaches think they have found nirvana, the North Shore knows it has, and the western suburbs take pride in their mostly hardscrabble existence.

Most Sydneysiders would not live anywhere else, unless a Lotto win impelled them, and think it onerous to visit friends or relations in other suburbs.

The girls dress code for evenings is a pair of jeans, usually Sass & Bide and a sparkly top with high heeled shoes and "designer inspired" handbag.

The guys general uniform is torn/faded jeans, usually diesel with an up turn collar top and sporting the faux hawk hair style.

The first question when we met another person is "So, what do you do?" and judge immediately if we should continue the conversation.

We don't blink an eye at an $18 cocktail or $13 glass of sparkling wine.

We also do not like strangers.

strangers, eh? I guess they'd be easily identified by their lack of torn/faded jeans, up turn collar top and faux hawk hair style. The ones standing at the bar, yelling "18 bucks! dude, are you serious?"

I do have a huge issue about the $3.30 take away coffee!

You're so right about the "dress code". It's all about being seen in the right places!

well, Sydney is the best city in the world, we've got to pay for that:-) as for the dress code, you're right about the boys, girls are more dressy though
