Who else here is from the UK?

[WhereDunnit]

I tried to search members to find out, but that didn't seem to work, so I'm trying a forum post!

I'm from Chatham, in industrial north Kent - not the pleasant Garden of England part. My speciality is crime fiction locations, which is why I set up my WhereDunnit website - www.wheredunnit.com

Who else is from the UK?

[Grant McKenzie]

I'm originally from East Kilbride, Scotland, but my family and I now reside on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. I left Scotland waaaaaay back in 1976, and lived in Calgary, Alberta, for more years than I wish to admit, but finally found my way back to the sea ;-)

[Donna Moore]

I'm from Glasgow (although originally from Cambridgeshire). Great idea for a site - I shall have a good browse tomorrow!

[Sharon Wheeler]

I'm from Gloucestershire (originally from the West Midlands!) And your site sounds very useful!

[Julie Morrigan]

I'm a north east seasider - sunny Sunderland, to be precise. Nice to meet you!

[Iain Rowan]

I grew up in Kent: Herne Bay for the first eleven years, and then a field in the middle of nowhere a few miles outside Canterbury for the next seven or so. Moved to the north-east though, and now I'm also in sunny (well, sea-fret shrouded) Sunderland.

When I was little, if my nana had decided we were going to the beach for the day, we went, irrespective of the weather. More than once I sat on the sands at Roker or Seaburn listening to the foghorn, the 'sea-fret' so dense I couldn't see the traditional seaside sarnie (egg, tomato and sand) squashed in my grubby little mitt. Seasiders - no wonder we're so tough!

Apparently, in the rest of the country, there's been this big yellow thing in the sky in the last few days.

It's the people I see surfing off Roker that make me think tough. Mad. Both.

I used to live in Chatham!!! In the old red light area, near the hospital. Edward Street. We were so poor we were in an official poverty zone and only paid £12 poll tax per year or something ridiculous. It was great - if bizarre!

Am actually an Essex Girl (Dedham), but now live in Surrey - near Guildford. It has less litter than Chatham did ... Anyway, nice to meet you, WhereDunnit!
