I have not only lived in the same town all my life but I live in the same street. When I got married I only moved 2 doors away from my parents. Also my sister lives 2 doors away from me, my mother-in law lives next door to my sister. My gran lives in the next street to us, my fathers brother lives 3 doors down from him and my grans sister lives 3 doors further down - how's that for keeping it in the family!

I was born and raised in Middlesbrough then joined the Air force were i served at Coningsby, Leeming and Linton On Ouse..I then lived in York for 15 years before moving back to Middlesbrough. 've been here 5 years now and will probably stay here till I retire or get the push lol...ten who knows where next.. i do get away from here as ofte nas I can though, even if it's just a few miles into the countryside or coast.

born in Portsmouth and still here,can't imagine living anywhere else

Thank you all for your replies to this thread. Really interesting to see how many of you have moved around and gone back to where you grew up and to see people that have never left their towns. Thank you all.xxx
