I was born in Liverpool to a Welsh father and a Lancashiran mother but spent most of my formative years in Luton.
An economics teacher once asked if I was trying to collect life's handicaps. (That will probably make more sense to UK forumites than others.)
I now live on the South Coast. My last move was about 3 years ago from another house in the same town that was much smaller. The trauma of moving everything out of that house.
Brief trauma description. Skip if bored. It took a day to get the stuff we'd stored in the attic down. Not to pack it. Just to physically get it down. We couldn't get into some rooms of the house once it was all packed.The movers gave us far too many metre long boxes (which, given a lot of our stuff is books, were tricky to pack. The smaller boxes full of books were hard enough to lift) The mover originally allowed a day for the entire move. They jsut about managed to load everything in that day.
has convinced me that I am never moving again. It helps that I'm now in a nice house in a nice area about 10 minutes walk from the town centre.
Other people seem to have got around much more than me.
