who's from your area?

[domtyler]

I was born and brought up in Somerset, home of the Wurzels and PJ Harvey.
Where I live in East London now was the birthplace of William Morris (see the Arts and Crafts movement, famous for wallpaper), Golden Balls himself, Mister David Beckham and last but not least, Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

Me dad grew up in Wealdstone!

Nowhere near the Railway Tavern I hope Dave - home of that popular beat combo The Who.. (The High Numbers).
Our school had 'Episode Six' Roger Glover and Ian Gillan members of said group (but I was far too young to know about that acidy sort of stuff)

I do believe you are correct. Both on The Smiths song and it being dangerous to live near me.
