Born at Marston Green. Lived most of my life in Tamworth apart from a stint in Stechford (that was fun - walking into the Richmond in a Villa shirt) and Erdington.

Born around Wake Green. Moved to Bournville (not Trust) at 6. There til the day I left school. Then Kings Heath (two abodes), Cotteridge, Kings Norton, Bearwood for the last near fifteen years. No Villa strongholds, son of lapsed nose, thank my Welsh migrant grandad for pointing me in the right direction. Currently steeling myself for a move to my first address that won't have a B postcode.

Having lived all over London for years, I hated briefly moving to a TW postcode more than was rational. I fled to Mexico in shame after less than a year.

I'm currently temporarily resident in a south Shropshire WV postcode. I escape next month, but it's been painless. They just have numbers in Mexico, the soulless ghouls.
