A RESIDENT of London has been stripped of her status by presuming to learn to drive a car by which she might visit other places.
Friends of 32-year-old Grace Wood-Morris have cut off all contact after she was seen attempting to manoeuvre a Kia Cee’d around Dalston as if she were a hayseed provincial.
Former pal Helen Archer said: “Driving? In a car? Doesn’t she know we have Ubers for that?
“I can’t understand it. We have everything we could ever need – Ethiopian cuisine, Greek supermarkets, illegal underground drinking clubs – no more than a 45-minute tube journey away. Why could she ever need a car?
“Why Grace would choose to expand her horizons into the suburban wastelands outside the ULEZ is beyond me. If she’s driving to ‘the coast’ or the so-called countryside we can’t be friends because we no longer have anything in common.
“And she lives in a one-bed flat, where would she keep a car? They don’t have folding ones, I’ve asked. It can only be because she’s planning to flip her flat for millions and buy a castle in Norfolk, betraying her London roots. Though now I think of it she’s renting.
“Regardless, she is no longer living by London rules. She’s dead to me and the wider community that resides on her doorstep.”
Grace said: “I’m learning to drive so I can try a new pop-up dining experience called a drive-thru. They’re the next big thing.”
