Technically I'm from "s/east england" as I was born in a hospital in Redhill, Surrey. But I lived in and grew up in Gossips Green, Broadfield and Teslcombe Cliffs so in reality I'm all Sussex.

Up and Coming Sunny Portslade
Born Brighton and lived in Hove, Portslade and Brighton for 30 years. This exotic existance was broken by a new job since when I had a short spell in Chennai (FKA Madras) before a year in Sydney and now Tokyo.

Dunno when I'm coming home (entirely up to my work) but felt remarkably at home in Sydney and, after an unsure start, can also highly recommend Japan.

In a pile of football shirts
Born in Oxford, folks in the RAF, at age 10 went to boarding school in Steyning.

I got fed up with all the other kids asking "Are you Liverpool, Arsenal or ManU?" At this stage, having lived abroad for the previous 5 years I had no idea where Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester were so I asked if there was a team nearby.

That week Eric Steele came to do a talk in assembley, the rest as they say is History!

I left school at 18, and never went home, been an Albion fan since 1977.

Sharpthorne/SW11
Born in Littlehampton (Rustington actually, in the Zachary Merton), spent my first year in Patcham, the house is now under the bypass flyover, then Kew for 5 years, then lived in a school near East Grinstead, been in current house since 1980, but stopping in London sometimes as the daily grind on South Central drives me nuts.

On NSC for over two decades...
Born in Cuckfield Hospital, lived in Haywards Heath til I was five (briefly became the third generation of the Palmer family to attend St Wilfreds School).

Emmigrated to Dorking. Lived in South Wales (Usk and Pontypridd) for five years while at College/Uni (with summer holidays back in Surrey), which later led to accusations from work colleagues that I was in fact Welsh!!

Moved to Guildford three years ago.

Dream of moving to Brighton at some point (although that isn't too high on the list of dreams I have!).

;)
