I don't really have a home town as such, for my parents lived in the sticks when I was born, and later moved to a semi-rural village.
That village got overbuilt and overrun by yuppies long ago.
I found a couple of places I could have settled but you have to be prepared to do the Monday to Fridaything a long way from home or face time consuming commutes every time there is a downturn, and I got fed up of that.
My present small town with a large city 20 minutes away has been fine for the last dozen years, but I'm getting the urge to move somewhere more rural again.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I don't really have a home town - we lived in a small village but moved when I was only about 8 and most of my childhood was living in the country.

Originally posted by Cliphead View PostI was just reading the history of the town I grew up in and it struck me that I have no affinity for the place. It wasn't the best place to be then and certainly isn't now yet people I know appear to have some pride that they live there still.
What about your own home towns? Still live there, get teary eye thinking about the place or would you rather the bulldozers moved in?
All of my immediate family left after finishing school/Uni, and occasional trips aside, we have no real hankering to return.
Still have some cousins and aunts/uncles living there, but only ever see them at funerals these days.
Even then they just remind me of what an important decision it was I made to move on.
Have 2 sisters, one now living in Kent and the other one in Wiltshire. Personally I am happy in Devon too.
Better climate, and of course it also has the added benefit of annoying the tulip out of racist bigots like Troll.

My parents moved country every three to four years throughout my childhood so I don't have a home town.
The longest I've ever lived in one house is eight years, and I worked out last year that I have never spent a full calendar year in one country.
In short I have no affinity to any town and I'll happily jump ship to wherever an opportunity arises. Mrs PRC has other ideas though and wants stability for the sprogs so I imagine we'll be stuck in the South East for a while now.Comment

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostI grew up in the seaside town of Ayr. Pleasant enough place despite the weather, but never had it in my mind to stay there any longer than it took to get a decent education.
