Re: Where are you from?
Lived in Primrose Hill until I was 7, then moved to a council estate on the other side of Camden, then moved to Kentish Town when I was 16. Went to Coventry University and ended up staying there for about 9 years until I met my American wife and moved here to NJ.

No, but its nicer than Slough. 
Actually, I was just in Brighton recently and on the beach drunk with an old mate, when this bloke staggers over and tells us what a sh!thole Brighton is.
"Where you from then?" we ask.
"eathrow mate!"
Not much of an answer to that really.
