well I'm from Truro - but we moved from there to Bristol when I was 1 so I don't remember much of it  ;D

Grew up near Bristol, did 2 years of a degree in Newcastle (the proper one where the locals talk funny  ;), back to Bristol, then moved with a job to a few locations and have ended up in Chatham in Kent.

Now working for the local council, running their internal phone systems - I spent about 7 years prior to that working for the company that makes their phone systems which comes in handy  :)

Born and raised in Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire. Moved to Bedfordshire for a few years when first married, then moved back again in 1990. I work as an accounts/admin manager for a small company near Stansted airport that specialises in time & attendance recording and access control systems. Been here for 30 years now :-[ - started as a service installation engineer and kind of worked my way through the Company and somehow ended up in current position.  Also been a mobile DJ for over 30 years but kinda semi-retired as eldest son Greg has taken over, but still dabble a bit and help with the equipment - hence the Omega estate!!

Born in Hamilton just outside Glasgow, now live in a little village to the West of Dunfermline in Fife.

Vocationaly at 17 I started out in the family business repairing Cash Registers then changed jobs to turn my attentions to PCs. Then, a few years later, miraculously I got a job supporting the call routing infrastructure for a Cable & Wireless call centre in Glasgow. I've ducked in and out of a few jobs/contracts since then but now I work for Siemens Enterprise Communications deploying and supporting Genesys contact centre solutions for our clients.

Coincidentally enough, my base office is on the same estate as Mark's DTM's.

Small world huh!?!?
