do you live near your birthplace or have you moved far far away (not to another galaxy).

i look at the locations of fabbers and get nostalgic seeing the old place pop up.

I couldn't wait to move away from my birthplace. Only about 100 or so miles, but far enough. And still close enough to family to make visiting bearable.

Born in Solihull and spent 20 odd years living there. Then moved to the Black Country for 5 years. Spent several years flitting around parts of Birmingham such as Moseley, and Selly Oak before uping sticks to London, few years in Camden and Kentish Town, then a year in Hackney before moving to North Hertfordshire just over 4 years ago. This is the second longest time I've spent in one place. Provisional plans to move about 30 miles away from here next year.

I do regret not moving to London when I was much younger and part of me regrets that I have not lived in more places. I had planned to go to Manchester at one point and wish I had.

"Born in Malaysia, lived there, Africa, Thailand, Solomon Islands, Henley on Thames, Wales and ended up in Reading

Im not saying Reading is not nice. But surely one of your first three must look a bit nicer! How come you settled in reading? "

I was a child then going where my parents said. Reading was the easiest place for my ex husband and I to meet at first, then job, marriage and child came along.

I have no real affinity to Reading except that my son was born here and has friends here.

I don't have affinity to any place which I feel is a negative to the positives I had in living in different countries as a child.

Glastonbury

About 5,000 miles from birthplace via scenic tour

Miss weather and all connections

Hard to adapt here for a while and not to take the I-would-love-to-see-you-again-next-time-you-are-over-do-let-me-know-let's-organise-lunch-tea-drinks crap to heart

At least you have travelled a bit and seen the world. Which one was your favourite?

280 miles from home, Hastings to Liverpool.

Been up here 16 years and still get called a cockney,even though I was 80 miles away... I suppose working in London for 10 years gave me a twang as well as from my grandparents...

Born in Kent, a little village called New Romney.

Moved to Southampton when I was 21.

I'd love to live abroad at some point
