Default Where in the UK?

There always seem to be lots of polls on which province in Canada people are moving to but never anything about where people come from in the UK. So where in the UK are you moving from?

I've lived in 6/12 of those places listed (mainly due to an unusual, non-military, career). I know you titled the poll "Which region of the UK do you live in?" but I'm wondering if others, like me, moved about a bit before moving abroad. Or even moved abroad elsewhere, before settling in Canada.

It might be that a lot of us just have a propensity for relocation??

This is aways a difficult one for me.
We come from Bournemouth and if you look at a map of the UK, Bournemouth is right at the bottom on the south coast, but is smack in the middle.

I have never know whether to refer to it as SE or SW.

The other thing that used to confuse me was when Michael Fish would tell us that there would be a south west divide in the weather.
