I'm based in Taunton, Somerset at the moment. Thereabouts, anyway. *Come Autumn, that may change to Exeter or Leicester depending on whether either university wants me to go along and do postgraduate study.  |

I'm near Staines- the Roman ad Pontes (Latin: 'at the bridge') home of the largest mechanised Linoleum factory of it's time.
It's now an open plan shopping centre with a large car park, and a statue commemorating the Lino factory.
Ain't progress grand?

I'm originally from the grand sea-port of Liverpool. Now I live in Tiptree, Essex, where they make jams, marmalades and other preserves.

I reside in the Roman town of Bicester, a mere stones throw from the dreaming spires of Oxford.
Ahhhh!! Bicester!! Sorry! Dr. Q. p.s. Oxford's very nice. Stop throwing stones at it!! |

Little Scarlet... drool... Try their tomato sauce. A little sweet, but great on chips. |

I don't suppose that any of you fine ladies and gents happen to reside anywhere near Wales by any chance?
Or on the flip side, in Devon? For you see, I am a stranger in a strange land here in Wales as I'm only here for university..
I'm afraid I haven't really explored the local area to any great degree but if memory serves my home back in Devon isn't too far away from Exeter which is a very lovely city.
It has the best vintage clothes shop in the world! The Real McCoy!
There's also a nice little railway station in my local town that had a steam train on Halloween. It was most magical.
Other than that I don't really know what else to say!

Would someone be so kind to add a pin to Bournemouth for me?
Yes, the sunny seaside conurbation (Poole-Bournemouth-Boscombe etc) that has recently lost its 2nd pier (the one at Boscombe)- which I believe both (Bournemouth's as well) were constucted by the Victorians

As it came up in another thread you can pin my down for Liverpool, however, I should make it clear I will not only not be meeting any of you, but I have established a machine gun nest on the roof to repel visitors. There might also be traps on the grounds but going further into details would spoil the fun.  I don't suppose that any of you fine ladies and gents happen to reside anywhere near Wales by any chance? Near Wales seems a little general. I can see it from the beach. Even better than near Wales I believe there are some people in Wales, although that might not prove helpful either. |

You can see the Welsh Mountains from the Wirral. I used to see them when we'd go to school.
