    Hated where I grew up (Kilmarnock) and moved to Glasgow years ago and I never go back unless I'm visiting parents.

    Most of my friends that I grew up with still stay there and can't understand why anyone would move away 😕

    Originated in Essex 1969. Moved to Portsmouth in 1988 for Uni, then to Wells, Somerset in 1992 – still here. I actually feel at home here.

    Nay chance, but I was born and raised in St. Helens so I had very good grounds for leaving as soon as I could. It really was and is a proverbial sh1t hole, and I lived in one of the better areas!

    Leeds, Leeds, Leeds. Mostly love the place but it's changing and not for the better. Her Ladyship wants out as soon as the youngest finishes college so we may well decamp to the Dales or Cumbria.

    Except for Army service, multiple residences, but all within ten miles of the house where my mother has lived since 1945.

    Born: Munster British military hospital, Germany. Grew up just outside Wells, Somerset. Mum's family are from Mendip, Dad's from the Quantocks – so anywhere inbetween & thereabouts is "home" to me.

    I would dearly love to still be living in my old village – I'll get back there, someday.
