My dad's last goal was an own goal and one of my mum's clients got hung and one black guy got 6 months for riding his bike without lights............my mum reckoned he'd have got 2 years had he ridden it at night.

If I had my life to live over, I would move to the UK....but it is too late for me, I had my chance.
Hey, maybe if there is an "afterlife" I can put in for a transfer. What do you think JBR?

Born in West London, nearly as far west as you can get before it turns into Uxbridge. I lived there until I was 17 then moved to another town close by, Hayes, which used to be in the now non existent county of Middlesex.From there I moved to Reading in Berkshire for 18 months and then to where I am now, about 20 miles from Reading.
When I first moved here (27 years ago) it was semi rural but in recent years it's been "developed" (sigh) and is now urban
One of the last remaining green spaces locally has just had planning permission granted so 100 new houses going up 100 yards away from me
I have thought about moving, my Dad was a 50/50 mix of Scottish and Romany and I have a real hankering for Scotland, but not one of the cities, it would have to be rural.
However, advancing years, possible mobility issues and being on my own have stopped me, which is a shame.
Maybe in another life.......
E.T.A. There is no way I would move back to where I was born!

Re: Let's hear it for the place you were born...
I was born in Hackney, London a Cockney Girl.We lived in a Town House which my Parents were just renting.
Busy Street life, loads of markets.
My Mum met my Dad in a Factory called Simpson's, my Dad was a Tailor my Mum a Machinist.
My Nan and Grandad lived downstairs to us and they used to have Knees up parties as my Nan played the Piano.
I was very ill from the day I was born until I was 5 years old and did not start School until I was 6 years old.
We were quite poor but we had a good upbringing, we even managed to go on holidays.
I lived there with my Mum until I was 26 years old then got married and moved out to Woodford in Essex, we were there for 20 years then moved to where we are now a bit more rural, but we are hoping to move again to Norfolk.
