London Calling
When I am in a conference call with our US office, my counterparts across the water ask what “London” thinks of such and such an idea when they mean me. This is especially wierd when it’s I’m the only person from the UK in on the call.
Them: “Do we have London on this call?”
Me: “Hi, this is Cliff.”
Them: “OK, so London, we were wondering here…”
I feel like saying “That’s Mister London to you, Mister.”
Please don’t call me London any more.

I think it’s kinda cute - as long as you unfettered use of the phrases, “Our trans-Atlantic cousins”, “The Colonies”, “The New World” and “Station Uncle Sam”
