"Where are y'all from ?"
I was talking to my fellow Mancunian (manc'76) on the PM and I found out both of us lived in Manchester and Liverpool.
So this got me to thinking...
(two thoughts in one day ! got to go for a lie down after this.)
Where did you start from (were born)/lived at/are now ?
I'll get the ball rolling:
Salford (Manchester)
Toxteth (Liverpool)
Barrow-In-Furness
Henley-On-Thames
Reading
Oxford
Greensboro, NC
Yeah I know, what a strange journal.
So where did the bus stop for you before you got here ?

A Dorset man are you. My parents moved to fairly nearby Wiltshire when they retired. To a village called Charlton, near Shaftesbury. Know the area?

I think so, does it have a small post office, and telephone box and a bakery?
Just pulling your leg....Can't say I have heard of the place....anywhere north of Weymouth is unknown territory to me
For some reason Dorset is tagged "Dorset and Wilts"...for which I do not have a clue why???
Here's a quiz...... WHY does Dorset not have a single motorway built in the county?
