Where in the UK are you or your SO from?

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

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.

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.
