So who is from London, or close by?
 

Just a nosy thread really, to see how many people are from London, or very close to it.

Born in Edmonton, wood green until I was about 3, and Enfield until I was 15, before making a tiny hop across the M25 to cheshunt.

You?

Northampton around 60 miles away

It's weird - I cant think of anyone else here - It's meant to be London/Paris/New York - The 'world class' cities...

London/Paris/New York/Northampton...

Zone 6 .

I'm in Derby atm, about 60 miles the other way :)

rogue isn't too far away from London, Paul the guy that used to be on B&B who disappeared a few years back was also from cheshunt (which is relatively small) but moved to Leeds, and went to school with some of my mates, Johnny Traffic is from London. I know there's a few more but I can't think off the top of my head. I *think* JT is but can't quite remember.

I was born in the City of London, and grew up in south east London: Greenwich, Blackheath, and (ugh) Croydon. My last job in England was at the Tesco head office in Cheshunt, and I lived in Waltham Cross.

Edmonton is in Canada, at least that is what it says on my College diploma :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Jeez, did you mean London in Canada?

Noice area. I missed my stop, a bus took me to Derby instead of Long Eaton. Don't ask if i was drunk.

heh, delamare road :) My last job I worked at was just round the corner in fieldings road. My last place I lived in cheshunt (spent ages 15 - 40 there) was just a few minutes from tesco head office. Used to knock about in the cross a lot in my teens. small world :)

and croydon.. wtf. it's like someone said lets make a place, but have it the most awkward cunt to get to. Whether you use the M25 or go straight through the city, a shitcunt either way to get to lol.

I've heard of canada :thumbsup

I'm there often enough, LOL.

nah not really, it's full of fucking northerners :Oh crap 'friendly' :1orglaugh

Northern sheep shaggers. :mad:

I love it when Americans try to do geography:winkwink:...

too bloody close to london!

Bishop's Stortford from age 8 to 25

Worked in Milton Keynes for a bit, not far away :2 cents:

I was a bit too close to Harlow :winkwink:

Damn, I see the BK has closed down by the cinema. Harlow was very useful for shopping, cinema and jobs :2 cents: We would also get some Harlow kids venturing over to the schools, some real characters (normally they'd have been expelled from the schools in Harlow).

Lucifer

Almost had a bad incident in Harlow once, many years ago a huge group of thugs chased us, we made it to the car, it was close to something bad happening, they blocked the road as I drove towards them, fortunately they didn't play Chicken or we would have all lost that game :2 cents:

Spent half of 2013 in London. Good times :thumbsup

Essex here

Not London but suburbs.

U wot m8? U havin a giggle? Takin the mickey out of me, u cunt?

Never been to London, one day I ll shw up

No he's not, he's down in Sussex, covers his tracks well, or so he thinks, but it's time
.....

Jel,

You have seen the enormity of my

teapot ;)

I was born in Enfield & lived there until early teen. I moved to Poole where I met my partner Gary, who grew up in Luton & Bedford until he moved to Poole in his early 20s :thumbsup

Our families are still in Enfield, Bedford & Northampton :2 cents:

:laughing- :thumbsup :GFYBand (Sheep Shaggers) Old cruel joke regarding the Welsh. West of England & not North :wetkiss

I like Bishop's Stortford, it has one of the weirdest High Streets you ever see, if you can call it a high street that is. Narrower than most of the side roads!

Scotland

Yeah im in Glasgow, home of sectarian bigots

lived there for about a year (passed my driving test there as it happens - 1st time of course), and yep. went back recently a few times, man they have made a cunt of it with the 1 way system :Oh crap

you have a huge spout, is all I'm saying :thumbsup

Damn, small world :) what part of Enfield? I was down in Enfield Lock.. Bishop Stopford's was my secondary school, 1983 - 1988, brother went to Albany. I think we are not *too* far apart in age (you and I that is, not me and my brother lol) - we probably know a few of the same people :)

edited to add:

ah, until early teens. probably don't know any of the same people then after all :)

worked there, and spent a night along sauchehall street... wound up in a (the?) gay bar... 1 pint (of lager, to pre-empt you fuckers) and I moved swiftly on :thumbsup

shout me up next time you are over :thumbsup
