Sounds like my husband when he put his hand within 10cm of a snake in the back garden!

Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Hi Bevs,
I grew up in Church Road in Southbourne after I moved to the Bournemouth area aged 9. I have lived in Pokesdown, Somerford, Winton and am currently in the West Way area between Charminster and Castle Lane.
Have you found any areas that remind you of home?

Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Yehp thats my experience as well, Talking of Bethnal green, by Aussie born and raised daughter is trying out her work skills in London, and enjoying herself immensely without any sign of coming back. Thing is she moved into the same road (Mansford st) as my Gran was brought up in Bethnal Green, and wasnt aware it was the same street until we told her. Now thats a big coincdence seeing the size of London, and the fact that the rest of us considered ourselves South Londoners
That IS a big coincidence. Small world ennit. Am glad your daughter's having a great time there!

Think Yorkshire really should have been on the list.
I'm from Derbyshire, but almost in South Yorkshire (next to the border)

I'm from Chatham in Kent and OH from Rochester in Kent
These towns also form part of Medway in Kent (i think the local council thought it would sound better to clump the towns together and give them a collective name
)

Re: What part of the UK are you from.
Tonbridge, Kent - maybe it's the house prices here that are a factor in wanting to emigrate? With the average price for a small 2-3 bed terraced house here being in the region of £230-250K & then comparing what you could have in Australia for the same money, it's certainly something we've thought a lot about. To buy a four bed house, which is what we need, the monthly repayments would be around about the £2750 mark not including council tax, which many people forget can set you back another £200 per month & that's with us putting down all of our savings as a deposit! We've sold our house & are in rented whilst we wait to get visas sorted.
