Born and raised in Stourbridge, hung around in Oxford for a bit after university, lived in Sheffield for a few months, the US for a few years where I developed a twang which has seen me confused for an Antipodean both here and in the US (and had a landlord in Stourbridge refusing to accept I was from there) despite never having crossed the Tropic of Cancer, then Glasgow 15 years ago, and fairly shortly thereafter out of town to the fjord with the nukes where I lasted for nearly a decade before moving to Greenock.

Have moved enough that my heart isn't anywhere, nowhere feels like home, everywhere I feel like an alien, but I don't have to be invested...

Born in Solihull, raised on the border between there and The Peoples Republic of Sheldon where I stayed until about 20 years ago when I moved to the Black Country.

There were plenty of objectionable 'Noses around and the odd reasonable one when I was growing up but over here there are very few but plenty of Sandwell fans who are much less confrontational or violent but a lot easier to wind up.
