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

Wisbech, Cambs

Chas is from Slough (near Heathrow).

I'm from Maidstone, Kent.

J always tells other Brits he meets - Bristol, but I lived in London for 10 years (where he met his lovely wife).

Heh!

My guy's from Bearsted (currently living in Islington), so I know Maidstone well!

I'm from Sunny Cleethorpes , in North East Lincolnshire

Originally from a little village near Southend-On-sea in Essex. Spent the last 8 years living in Morden and Sutton in Surrey (outer London).

Cool.....I live very near to Bearsted. Nice part of town!

Tim has good friends in Southend-on-Sea He's an Essex boy too - except NOT like and "Essex boy!" Anyway, he's based in lovely Suffolk now.

Originally Surrey, but have also called Manchester, Dover, Chatham and Rochester home at some point. The last 5 years in the UK I was a South Londoner, specifically Streatham & Tooting.

I'm from Southampton but I've been in Germany for the past 2 years.

He's from Colburn, near Darlington in N yorkshire. Though he lived in York for several years, so you can put that if its easier

Well, I don't really have a strong Essex accent myself. Just a standard London twang really. My Mum's side of the family are from Suffolk - Ipswich.

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.

Oath (hubby) is fae Paisley, Scotland

Wigan Lancashire

i,m from coatbridge, alittle town outside glasgow my SO is from rochester ny

(MARIA) i'm from a wee village called Shotts in Lanarkshire Scotland, not far from RGNSCOT and my SO is from Norfolk, Nebraska

I was born in Bath but have lived in Cornwall, Bristol, London and Newmarket!! .. and now Arizona! and Jamal is from Philly, PA

Mr. Bruce hails from Aberdeen, SCT, and I am from Brroklyn, but moved onto Long Island at 18 to go to college. Always wanted to live here, so I set up camp and never left.

Gary is from Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Jonny's from the Leeds area but he's been living in Hull for the last couple of years.

My fiance is from Northampton, England

Stephen is from Helens Bay, Northern Ireland.

I am originally from Coventry, West Midlands and now living in Georgia near the Florida/Alabama line.

London (NW London mostly Kingsbury and some time in Hayes)

Mark is from Harrow, NW London.

....

(North) London... but lived in (well, near) Reading between the ages of 9 and 19 so I guess I'm 'from' there a bit too...

We lived together in South Manchester (where Conrad is from and still living, though he spent the first 12 years in Birmingham and was actually born in Elgin, Scotland) for 6 years. I also spent at year just outside MK (Milton Keynes).

Stewarton, Ayrshire, Scotland

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.

excellent show!!!

born and raised in Central London

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

I am from Shropshire but have lived in Birmingham, Central London, and Gloucestershire

Hornchurch in Essex.

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?

I now live in Plymouth, Devon. Will be moving to Massachusetts.

Gateshead, just south of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.

I'm from Birmingham, West Midlands

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.

Jenni

Was born in Reading moved to Basingstoke but moved down to Exeter, Devon. Don't consider myself a Country Bumpkin for starters I don't have the physic and secondly I am lazy

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.

Mark's a Brummie too...

D's from Sunderland.

My man is from Sandiway, near Chester, but lived most of his adult life in Warwick.

I'm from Birmingham, West Midlands that will make us three Brummie right ....

My fiancé’s originally from Minnesota … living in Rhode island now
