Chatting at work today and it came to light that of the 5 of us, 3 still live in the same town as they were born in.

I moved a lot as a child and (having used a distance calculator) have worked out I live 445miles from where I was born.

This is the one I used if you're interested in working your's out. www.distancecalculator.net/

4,600 miles? Something like that. Not in a particular rush to ever return (London).

RoseHipps · 20/01/2021 07:11

One whole mile! To be fair I have moved about but ended up settling back near my home village. I would say most of my friends from school have too.

About 20 miles, soon to be less than 10 though Grin

RickOShay · 20/01/2021 07:46

I’m in the same place as you @DisappointedOfNorfolk and it’s about 14 miles Grin

40 miles now but have lived 1400 away from my mums where I’m back temporarily for lockdown

Redred2429 · 20/01/2021 07:51

Around 40 miles

Sarahandduck18 · 20/01/2021 07:54

7 miles from the hospital, 5 miles from where I spent most of my childhood

I’ve traced my family in this area back to the 1830s.

It feels so much a part of me.

DP 71 miles he’s from the kind of place everyone moves away from

DCs born in different areas within 10 miles of here

I think once they have flown the nest I’ll move but not more than 100 miles. I wouldn’t want to be more than a day’s return drive from here.

Less than a mile! I have been fortunate enough to live around the country though at different points ie uni and for work, and fortunate enough to travel the world, but I just love it here and happy to be back.

About 5 miles. I have also worked in the hospital where I was born Grin, and my DD's went to the same primary school as me, and one to the same secondary school. Ugh, how boring are we?
