My Home Town

Slam62 · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:00

Guys and Gals,

Do any of you still live in your home towns?

I live about 80 miles from my home town and the hankering to go back is waining .

I would probably miss my current town now , but I can't be sure.

Any thoughts?

I live in the town I was born now but 7 miles from the town I grew up. I've lived and worked on three continents and all over the UK. Home to me, is where ever I end up.

Moved away in 2006 to come to uni around 80 miles away and haven't moved back, have absolutely no desire to either.

Nope. Not even in the same country. But I go back there and the other places of my childhood often.

I live a 20 min drive from my home town so not far for me.

where do you find you spend most of your time when not working and weekends?

genuine question....was there not an almost identical thread to this not so long ago? either that or I am getting a freaky dose of deja vu!!

ps I still live about 5 mins from my parental home - did live about an hours drive away or a few years but moved back home temporarily. turned out that was about 10 years ago and I'm still in my hometown, and I hate it

Yes, last month I think!

Maybe sorry if a repeat,

I don't really know anyone in my home town and I am very settled where I am, but....

I still feel attached in some way to where I grew up.

Cosimo · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:12

I'm still here.

Pretty much same as me expect I live about 20 miles from town I grew up in. People go where the jobs are generally speaking. Be nice if we could all stay at home and be one big happy family.

It's a bit far for me, my birthplace was Hong Kong,

I have been pretty nomadic since then. Suppose where I am now will be my home town, been here for 10 years, 3 times aa long as I have ever lived anywhere before.

Zefan · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:36

Moving just outside the town I grew up in (from 8-16 anyway) in a month. I don't really miss it, but I'm looking forward to moving back. It's been 10 years since I lived there, and I'm at a completely different stage in my life now, so in many ways it's new despite me having lived there for a third of my life.

Raymond Lin · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:39

That's the other side of the world for me!

Jono · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:44

Technically yes, but only because I bought a house there.

OCUK is not your home

Had a brief spell in Fife after finishing Uni, but once i washed the filth off I'm back in my home town.

And yes, I'm sure this is a repost as I remember replying in the other topic as well

Uther · 24 Jul 2015 at 17:48

Lived in the same village pretty much my whole life (I'm 50!) but plan to move in the next few months. Probably to Scotland...

It's never the same memories.

Glanza · 24 Jul 2015 at 18:07

Still there moved around the areas over the years though.

almoststew1990 · 24 Jul 2015 at 18:19

I grew up in Winchester and moved (out) to Southampton. Definitely want to move back!

Thank god for that. Thought I was going bonkers. Been a bit of weird day today where I kept getting déjà vu like feelings!
