Where did you live as a child?

I lived in North West London from birth for 18 years till I got married.
Then I moved to Northampton out in the sticks.
Had some happy times in London in my teenage years, though when I was small the war was on and we were bombed all around us.
I lived there with my parents, twin sister and two older sisters and one brother. My other sisters were married and had moved away.
I still have a soft spot for London though Kilburn has slightly changed but the block of flats where I lived hasn't altered at all accept that it is now warden assisted flats.

Hello Maureen I hope you don't mind if I point out we only use bold text for the occasional word on the forums rather than the whole post. Please see the note by Admin ....

Very short walk from here, if the trees weren't there I could see it from my living room window.

I was born smack in the centre of Dublin and have lived in Dublin all my life, though not in the original place. I'm a townie through and through but I do love the Countryside and especially it's people.

I live in the biggest town in Scotland and have always lived here. Can't see me moving anywhere else. I'm very proud of my town.

Where did you live as a child well
we were very poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness."
'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!
You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a corridor!
Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!
You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TG: Aye.

I am from Yorkshire

p.s. Jem, you made me laugh as Maureen is the poster and I just said that I was from Yorkshire Maureen. My name is Sandy. So it gets very confusion Made me laugh anyway.

Re: Where did you live as a child?

I was born and brought up in Hull and lived quite happily until I married at the ripe old age of 38.

We have lived in a couple of places since but have settled at the moment in the Midlands.
