I would miss it David.A couple from London took over the local pub.The wife got really upset because every time somebody left the bar all the others talked about them.Well we know it is going to happen,we have always done it.I think it must be some kind of bonding process.

Yep, but only because I moved back in with the parents, having previously left and lived in Herts, Sussex & Germany. I'm on the lookout for renting somewhere soon.

I was born at 71 moved to 73 when I got married lived there 37 years and moved last year to a bungalow not far away Linda

I'm still living in the place where I grew up. The longest time I have spent away from my village was 2 years. My 2 youngest kids go to the same village that I went to, my eldest also went there until she started senior school Sarah, xxx

i still live in the same village that my gt gt grandad lived in lol although its more like a blooming town now:( i live a stones throw from mum and dad,they are still in the same house i was born in every day i walk past a row of cottages where my gt gt grandad ,my nan and gramp and all my gramps brothers and sisters lived susie

Glad I'm not the only one:) pmsl Sharron - I actually got out and lived in a big town where they had street lights and takeaway places and where the neighbours didn't tell you what time your living room light was on until the night before (just in case you'd forgotten)

Forty-one years ago I moved half a mile to the council house we had aspired to.I had been born in the cottage we were in previously.Eighty years before me my grandfather had been born in the same room.I think his grandparents had lived in the house across the road.Dad was born in a house another half mile down the road and moved to the cottage when he was seven. Sometimes strangers come with tales of other villages and towns up the road but we Greens runs indoors and hides when they comes by.

Until I was 17 I only lived in two houses, the ends of their gardens met and shared a fence. Then I got wander lust and did the teenage independence thing and moved around the country a bit. I moved back to my home town and bought a house a few yards from where I started off!!!! Bit of a home bod really Mandy

Im in the same place I was born....... Moved away a few times, once abroad Always come back, its definitely home!! Leanne x

I now live in the next road to where I spent my first 18 years before fleeing home. I moved back here a few years ago and I have my parents, sister & niece, an aunt & uncle, first and second cousins all living within three neighbouring roads - I'm like something from the 1881 census lol
