Y'all have indeed lived in some awesome places!

Myself, only in various locations around England, the best being 2 minutes from the beach in Southport (even if it is a rubbish beach!), down by the river in South West London, and for 3 years of my Uni life in Bath... everytime I walk around the streets I feel like I'm part of history, its beautiful.

Mmm, have you been to England? Anyway, the next time you do, Bath should be near the top of the list (not that I'm biased or anything....)

I have been to London once for about 1.5 days or so. I loved the random things that I did see. But who knows when I'll ever be back there. I'm concentrating on North America for the time being.

I've only ever lived in England. Moved counties from Hertfordshire to Bedfordshire - but I've moved a lot - had four homes in one year once!!

I have lived so far in various places in England, born in East London and lived there up til I was 19 then we moved out to Essex. Also lived in Harrogate in North Yorkshire and Cambridge for a bit. Then back to Essex and then onto the beautiful Kingdom of Bahrain for 2 years and now in Japan. Sounds a bit pitiful also....

Nominate me as a Local Expert



Yeah, Ive only lived in Riverside California, and Salt Lake City Utah, but Leven Scotland has always been a second home to me as my granddad lives out there and so I grew up spending a lot of my summers in Scotland. Really need to get back there its been a good 6 years.

You HAVE to be kidding. I think the reason I love Alberta so much is 'cause it saved me from Manitoba. Granted, there is no comparison between the beaches.

So, Inasia, you are really a Cockney disguised as a world traveller. And it seems you will just keep on truckin'. Where is it next? San Diego I believe.

Someone's kidding about the beaches! To my knowledge there is just one, at the mall in Edmonton.

Ha, no. You got it right, in a round about way. Manitoba Beaches are Smint. Alberta, well it is desert.

Yes its all just a terrible disguise! LOL!
I am not a cockney in the old sense of the word, i.e. born to the sound of the bow bells (you know that one?) But my Nana was! But so far as the area I was born in, yep, Hackney in East London, can't do better than that, in a Salvation Army Hospital too!
Not sure bout the world traveller either! A ways to go yet, but done far better than a lot of people I know... San Diego, No! It was a may be! More than likely staying in Japan, if Mike and I stay together, for another 3 years, but in Tokyo rather than in Misawa! Much better weather, easier to travel around as there is a subway system, english is widely spoken and the food etc. more diverse and westernised (I know shame on me)!
