I have moved house a total of 16 times before I joined up, 5 times since then. I have lived in 4 different countries and 6 different counties.
What to call home other than England? :y

Have lived in Spain for 7 years. Don't consider it home but wouldn't want to move back to the Uk.
North Yorkshire is "home" only been back twice in 7 years. Might go again this Spring......

Have to say a fat NO for me Pete.
I was live not far from where I was born. And to be honest, the whole place has gone to the dogs as far as I'm concerned and we're now living in what I can only call "bloody Chav Central". >:(
All the old places that I used to knock around with mate on our bikes (push bikes) years ago and were we could hang around without someone crying out "youths are causing Anti-Social Behaviour" for just standing and chatting, have all but gone. Most of the reason for the Council having done what they call 'regeneration' of the area! And most of the area now is covered by industrial or housing estates, so the green meadows are slowly becoming into single figures I expect. :-\
Because the area has expanded so much so quickly I couldn’t say today where the boundary starts of my area and where it stops! :o

I dont tend to dwell on it,but when I go back to Belfast and occasionally have a wander around the town centre it does still feel like home to a certain extent. Only thing that spoils it is the fact that a lot of it has changed so much over the years,but being Belfast I think it was as much by circumstance than design. ::)
Got myself all dewey eyed now. ::) ;D

My paternal grandparents and their associated family (whatever that means as I have zero interest in such matters (to my shame) lived in the village where I'm presently situated as far back as the early 19th century up to the middle of the 20th - in a dwelling just down the road from this house as it happens, so in a sense I have 'come home'.
It makes opps-all difference to me as I hate this place with a vengeance, viscerally so in fact, to the extent that I never feel home again until I'm back in London.

I don't feel particularly attached to anywhere as "home", though I spent the longest time growing up in a little village outside York.. haven't bothered to go back in 15 years, though!
On an unrelated note - Den, who is the avatar du jour?

Born and bred in Louth, Lincs for 34 years. Left 10 years ago to live in Lincoln. Never been back ::)
But, have always felt at home in North Yorkshire. I have no ties with NY nor I thought any family links. After speaking to my Dad (a Hullite) I discovered my very distant ancestors came from North Yorkshire
Now that's weird ....... :-\

Born in Dunaújváros beside Danube but some years ago moved off and nowadays I live farther on 500km next to the Ukrainien border. Cheap and good quality Ukrainian fuel and cheap rent hereby. After breakup and huge money loss not to sort but catch the opportunity and rebuild your life as soon as possible. I'm about that. Emotions? Hm...first love, first punch, first sex and the first "drunken lazy bastards" style do... sometimes I miss my birthplace when good thing comes to mind but there also were others not too good stuffs that get me rather sad. I left my pals but haven't found new ones yet so I would need some one at times. Fortunately I found this forum where I needn't feel lonely so much. ;) Good luck home, Pete! :y Laszlo

Born in North Shields. At the age of 7 we moved to Northumberland and I grew up there. I loved the pubs, fishing and the countryside. I married 21 years ago and moved to Newcastle, where my better half has always lived. My wife and two teenage boys are townies (city lovers), I still miss the wilds of Northumberland. I have worked away in London for 4.5 years and the fast paced life and endless noise is not for me! When I retire in 10 years I would love to find a nice cottage in the middle of nowhere, with a huge pile of books to read and a great local pub within walking distance ( I think SWMBO may have other ideas) :'(

Born in London, lived there for a few years, moved to Kent, lived in various villages around Ashford before moving into Ashford properly. Don't like the town that much, don't like the people that much, everyone knows everyone else, and someone has always got something to say behind someones back.
