Hove, f***ing ACTUALLY.
My history is complicated, as those I meet at games frequently say...........

...YOUR NOT FROM ROUND HERE ARE YOU ??

And I reply in my Scottish accent........

...YEAH, I AM ACTUALLY !!

Mum and Dad met in the RAF, Mum is Scottish, dad is English (Brighton born and bred), I was born in Brighton when my parents were stationed at Oakhanger, we then moved to Scotland when I was 10 and I remained there till I was 22, graduated and moved back to Sussex as my parents had retired back here as I had no money and needed someone to sponge off

Youre probably all very bored after that !

Born Glasgow. Dad worked for British Rail and moved us down South for 'a better life' when I was 14. So there I was stuck, traumatised, in a shanty town outside Gillingham...

Spent every weekend commuting to Brighton to watch punk bands. Art College Basement. Richmond. New Regent. Alhambra. Buccaneer. More colleges than you could shake a stick at. Was a bit slow on the up-take but the penny finally dropped and moved down to God's Own Postode (BN1 actually) in 1980. Got married. Daughter born at Royal Sussex, son born at Southlands, Shoreham. Got divorced, as you do. The rest is history. Er, as was the bit before it actually... :dunce:

born in doncaster. lived in leicester and wakefield for a year each.
but returned here both times. considering moving to canada. wouldnt have the initial outlay as some friends are moving there and said they put the money up for us. as long as we live near them and pay them back once our house had been sold.
