Made in England but parents moved up north and I was born in Aberdeen, where I lived all my days until coming here. Therefore I voted Scotland in your poll.

Default Re: What part of the UK are you from.

Didn't know what to click to be honest. I was born in Cheshire, schooled in Hertfordshire, worked in London and then 15 years in the South West - combine that with years abroad in the United States, France and Australia and, well, who knows. If it was where did you emigrate from ... then the South West, if it was where were you raised ... then the South East. If I had to return to the UK for some reason then I'd go back to the South West - so I'll stick with that.
