Your birth town.

Genuine londoners are pretty rare these days.

There are not many of us left. I was born here, real call the midwife stuff.......

I read somewhere that it's not technically possible to be born a cockerney now due to noise pollution.

They did that to Leicester too, in the late 60s they demolished the 'Blue Boar Inn' the place Richard III spent his last night. Bet they wish it was still standing now.

I'm told that the maternity hospital I was born in is now the site of the large shopping centre (The Shires?) in Leicester.

My lovely Mum always said I wasn't born I was knitted and she ran out of wool so she used socks for ears (I am a bit of an FA Cup head)

I think I got a raw Deal.....

Kent.

Out of interest, where to? I know bolton a bit. Agree that it has seen better days. A damn impressive town hall -always wonder what fills it.

Aye the town hall remains as impressive as ever, and along with Le Man's Crescent behind it they're both still popular with film productions. The last one I can recall was in Peaky Blinders.

As for future destination's we have friends on Orkney so that's a definite on the list, but it's all pie in the sky whilst older dependant's remain dependant

I thought Peaky Blinders was an up to the minute documentary?

Totnes in south Devon. Seems to be full of hippies these days.

I'm an African. Born in the Lady Chancellor Maternity Hospital, Salisbury Southern Rhodesia. I think the hospital still exists, despite everything.

Yep, well the site is now covered by a shopping centre ( If it was Bond St Maternity hospital) I was born at Westcotes.
The shopping centre is called 'The Highcross' and also covers the old St Margarets swimming pool which was 'Olympic length' until the tiles were applied, it was then 3 inches too short.

Born in wigan, my mum still lives in the same house where I was born, in the living room, I still live in wigan .......about 400 yards from where I was born

I was mixed up in a cauldron by a witch.

That's not London, that's Stepney, a good mile east of London.
