will always be my home

 

[tyred]

In a daydream most of the time.

 

[Mrs M]

Derby, East Kilbride, Aberdeen city, Los Angeles, Aberdeen South.
Aberdeen South is my home.
Mr M and myself (not forgetting Thomas) are content here.

I'm a bit stuck in London. Deptford's cheaper than most of London and it's handy for keeping an eye on my ageing mother, just a half-mile away in Greenwich. While I'm pretty much at home in the country, I've just about always lived in cities and have learned to get along in them. Council renter - I never got the whole house buying obsession that has bedevilled the UK since Thatcher.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Started off in Glasgow, then Richmond, Northampton, Milton Keynes, nr to Leek, nr to Buxton, Westlands in Newcastle Staffs, Basford, Hartshill and another 5 or 6 different places in Newcastle under Lyme or Stoke on Trent, Preston in 5 different places, Failsworth, Woking twice, nr to Haslemere, then on the road a different place most nights for a year all over Europe, back to Newcastle Staffs, then on to my current place where I am currently looking for a new place... All complete moves of everything each time but I have never owned a home either...

From Norfolk, it has to be the Canaries

 

[Cyphrex]

Central Texas is always hot, seldom humid (even more miserable when so) and on extreme occasions frigid as a Popsicle in the freezer. We almost never have "nice" or "fun" days.

 

[albal]

Never felt the need to move from my birthplace a stones throw from the worlds 2nd largest natural harbour.

Warwick that good, eh!

Certainly is (was). I was born there

There is only london (awesome) and outside london (dreary). The rest is just detail.

Born & bred a Londoner but since moving to Cambridgeshire 13 years ago, you wouldn't make me live back down there if you paid me.

Much as I like London, I have expereinced a far greater proportion of complete and utter A*seholes in London and, in fact, in the south East and South Coast also as a hole whole than anywhere else.

I know it is a population thing - There are more people in London than in the whole of Scotland, so I don't feel too bad about it. In fact, it makes me grateful that I only ever experience the place in short bursts.

Don't get me wrong, I have met many great people in the area, but, still, it is somewhere I doubt I would EVER actually want to live in for very long.

Essex. Within 5 minutes cycle of beautiful countryside and close to London. It has disadvantages though

Yes, it is Essex and it is near to London!!

Born London, moved to Kent, then on to Greece for 7 years now in France for past 6 years. If i had the money to choose i'd go back to Greece !!

Slum it like an Immigrant, you'll get back soon!

Not saying.

Leicester, where Britain keeps its Kings crisps??

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Me?? I live in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire (it is Dumbarton, but it is Dunbartonshire).

We have the southern Highlands not too far away, and Glasgow only 15 or 16 miles away to the east/south east.

It might get a bad rap, and, like everywhere, it has its good and bad areas, but, with the countryside and Glasgow so near by, I feel I do have the best of both worlds on my doorstep!!


....... Unfortunately, we also have Trident and Faslane, Coulport and Glen Douglas nearby, so although it might be the best of both worlds, it also might be the end of worlds too!

It is quite surprising the difference it makes isn't it, just bring a few hundred miles further north.
