Where in the UK are you or your SO from?

Neal is from Wallington, South London. A craphole if there ever was one.

Wythenshawe, Manchester is right up there It is where the "The Royal Family" are from.

I dont wish to offend anyone from Manchester, but I have to agree that Wythenshawe is a right hole.

Oh I know, I agree. It was difficult for me to live there. I have to be careful what I say, since Conrad and his whole family are from and still live there. Wythenshawe on a whole is huge, so of course there are better parts than others. I can't wait to get him out of this environment, I think it affects him in a negative way for sure.

The boy was born in Gloucester, moved to near Sheffield as a toddler, and thence to Dover when he was 12. However, he's been in London for about 10 years (strangely, I've been a Londoner longer than he has). psho -- we're near your guy! We live near Archway tube station, not too far away.

I must be getting homesick or something - when I read this yesterday I thought 'awww, Archway! The Holloway Road!!' - weird, that's the first 'I miss London!' thought I've had, and I can't say I imagined that semi-homesickness would come in the form of getting misty-eyed about Archway...

Malcolm (Hubby) was born and bred in Coldstream, Scotland. I was born in Corpus Christi, TX but have lived in Rhode Island, California, Hawaii, England and now Scotland (Dad was in Navy) but don't think of anywhere as home really. Home is wherever my family is.

COOL! I'm from Corpus too! I still haven't managed to escape yet.

Dwy'n dod o Lloegr yn wreiddiol, ond nawr dyw'n bwy yn Nghaerdydd!

(I'm from England originally but live in Cardiff now)

Sorry, can't resist the temptation to add a little Welsh representation. Although I grew up in England Cardiff is my home now and i'm sure i will miss it when i move to the US - we have a word here called hiraeth - it kind of means 'longing' in English and something all Welsh expats experience apparantly! I have also lived in Sussex, Somerset, Leicester, Leeds and Newcastle, but met my fiance here in Cardiff.

I've always though it must be especially frustrating for all you guys from N.Ireland in particular to have to travel to London twice for medical and interview. How long does it take you to get there?

It is indeed a pain in the #######, in that it's two extra plane tickets. The time thing isn't that bad as it's not a long flight obviously, but the expenses add up soooo quickly. This whole process is ridiculously expensive as it is. I don't know WHY they can't have something set up in Belfast so that all this travel back and forth to London isn't necessary. Arrrrghhhh!!!!

I know we did this before but a lot of new people have joined since, and rather than resurrect an old thread, I thought we could start a new one.

I started to do a spreadsheet of where everyone hailed from, but alot of people listed numerous places so that made it harder! Maybe if we could all list just one place which we call "home"?

Once we have a few, I'll start pinning them on an e-map. I just thought it'd be interesting.

I'll start...

Bromley, Kent

Bedford, Beds
