I can't imagine remaining in the same city for most of my life. What a waste.

 

[Akagi]

I voted yes because I was born in Shoreham and live in Lancing. They are next to each other.

 

[FoxEye]

Voted yes because I'm still in the same county. Like others, I'm only a few miles away (<30 miles).

I can't imagine remaining in the same city for most of my life. What a waste.

Waste of what, exactly? Opportunity?

I still live in the same town, it's awesome by virtue of it being equally close to a lot of nice places.

 

[sports_brah]

God no.

I've moved around far far many to times for that. Currently around 500 miles away.

The locations explain a lot now.

Born in Hong Kong, live in Surrey - don't think I could be further away sadly.

 

[Akagi]

The locations explain a lot now.

Hm?

I hate it here, most of the town is a total **** hole, but thankfully we live in one of the only nice areas, near the downs.

I will move a fair distance away when I move out.

 

[Dis86]

Lived 400 miles away for over 10 years. Came back. Much nicer place than London.

 

[twist3d0n3]

For now, yes, but hopefully later this year somewhere else.

 

[pastymuncher]

Unfortunately no. Born in Penzance Cornwall and ended up living in NE Scotland in Aberlour 720 miles from home. My last posting in the RAF was RAF Lossiemouth where I met my lovely wife and ended up staying up here. I would rather be back home but it's just too expensive now.

 

[McBain]

No, thank ****.

 

[PaulyD]

Never lived more than 5 miles from my birth town of Aylesbury, where I live again now.

Thanks for depressing me

Never seem to get too far away!

Waste of what, exactly? Opportunity?

New experiences? At the minimum I want to try another country.
