MrD I think where you were born and houses that were your favourite house many years ago are ok. I try to be a bit more careful about recent stuff - but if someone wants to, they can find out a lot of details about you. |

"Poor old MrD" - whyever, John? Other than it may be a reference to the frequent packing and moving ? |

I was born and bred in Gateshead. First house was a tenement type in Bensham, which has long been demolished. Then a bungalow belonging to Mam's aunt in Lobley Hill, which I loved. From aged 3 to 10, we had a semi in Wardley, another district of Gateshead, which holds many happy memories; whenever we go up north, I stop by to look at it. It was once surrounded by fields, but is now very built up. From 10 to 20, we lived in Peterlee, Co.Durham my least favourite place! |

Hate to be a kill joy, but please be careful what info you put up about where you live now, there are people on here who collect this sort of information. I know because I've had someone find my address, when I was moving, and ask another member to come to my house to view, so as to see my house, scary eh? No idea what they thought they'd find out about me, or what they thought I had that they wanted to look at. |

@ Sharron, sounds like my OH, he and his 4 brothers and sisters were all born in this house, they all love it, and his eldest son said when we pop off he wants to live here. |

Libby. I would always choose Conwy but I do have a pull to Merseyside. Something special about those lovely buildings and the ferry. And New Brighton :-D |

WowMaggie. Thought I had been some places. You know, hardly anyone round where I live now (Valleys of South Wales) has lived more than a few miles from where they were born. |

started off in a picture postcard cottage on the side of Carphilly Mountain overlooking Cardiff - it may have been pretty but it was damp, no electricity - candles upstairs and gas lights downstairs - water through the tap from a nearby spring - in summer you had to go to the spring for water as it couldn't get through to the tap - all domestic water for bathing - in a tin bath - came from the roof into a galvanised tank. Wonderful childhood though mostly spent over the fields, in the woods, picking mushrooms, blackberries, primroses - having picnics etc. Then they built the city's crematorium all over my lovely fields and woods |
