Rich is from Paignton (Devon...Southwest England). I lived with him for 7 months in Torquay, England. No one on here is very close to what I consider home. I love it on the Southern coast! It's so beautiful...has anyone vacationed there? It seems to be a big tourist area.

Although Graham is from North Wales, a tiny town called Rhyl.... Think he's quite glad to have moved!

Hello? Is there anyone out there? hehe , just wondered if their were any couples who actually aren't in the London area. Seems most couples from the UK the other half is from Kent or somewhere "near." Anyone not quite as near? I'm in Lancashire

Well I need to beef up on my UK geography, but my SO is in Bolton, near Manchester.

It's funny...when I introduced him to co-workers and friends when he was here, so many of them assumed he was from London! They don't know the accents very well, I'm thinking.

Wow lots of peeps! Thanks for speaking up. Yeh can totally relate about the London assumption, when I went to the US all Andys distant relatives assumed I was from London yet I have a Scottish accent ....well half Scottish half American because I listen to Andy alot and it just sorta goes all funky. You ever find that?

Neat I'm in the next town over from Bolton ...Bury Personally I don't like the area, it's classed as a "rough" place to live, gangs and such. I'm glad to be moving too. One thing that shocked me when going to the US was how FRESH everything was and how the trees looked so healthy, I mean I know England is known for its gardens but god look at the trees in peoples front yards in the states they bloom...at least in my town they're all soggy and wet, dark and half dead. Anybody ever noticed the air quality especially in california is so different? I didn't have ONE asthma attack! I swear... amazing.

I actually find it's a little less green here, but I have moved from the South of England, close to lots of rolling hills and woodland (I lived a stone throws away from lots of fields), to a city on the edge of a desert. Salt Lake City would be desert if it weren't for the mountains around it. Things aren't as green here, for the most part. Especially at the end of summer, and of course, when it's cold and snowy in the winter.

But there are some fantastic landscapes here. I love the red rock formations. So different from what I'm used to and I'm a total Geography geek, so I love when we go out camping there.

I'm from Bournemouth....to add to the other couple people from the South West. It's beautiful down here. My fiance lives in Seattle so not so very different, still rainy and green

[HuffyTheSlayer 22]

LOL. I have a friend at Uni at Bournemouth, she loves it. I haven't been there since was a kid, though. Which is a shame, since living near Brighton I didn't live too far way. Does Bournemouth have a sandy beach? If so I might take Mark down there, to prove we have them!

Yeah, I'm not sure Mike is at all thrilled to be there. He too mentioned how green everything was. He also said that he was surprised to see how all our mailboxes were out by the road, cos in Bolton they'd get smashed the day after they got put up!! But I do live out in the country a bit.
