I am not anti-GLA, I just don't want the London branding and to be
artificially separated from the Dartford area.

We have the same issue in Kingston upon Thames which we definately see
as part of Surrey even though we are a London Borough. We get round
that banding issue by being the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
- no London there!

The situation wasn't helped by Surrey County Council housing their primary
offices there, when it wasn't even under their jurisdiction either.

For me, people who live in outlying areas who's big salary and house are
dependent upon a rapid commute into the City of London, but don't want to
live in Greater London because it's somehow vulgar/common are hypocrites of
the worst kind.
