READING Julian Cole's column (September 1) made me think. I wasn't born in York but moved here when I was 11 and my father got a job in the city.
Apart from a few years living in Malton I've lived in the city for nearly 40 years now. I went to Queen Anne Grammar School and have worked in the city for the last 34 years.
So where does that leave me? I have no allegiance to Hertfordshire where we came from and consider myself to be from York but, apparently, I will be classed as an incomer so how wrong can I be?
Just how long do I have to live and contribute to this city before I'm allowed to be "local"?
