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/

Using your calculatir tool I live:
163 miles from place of birth
But only 71 miles from place I spent majority of my childhood (where my parents still live)

I started off in the South West, then the South East and now East Mids.
I’m roughly 120 miles from where I was born but 60 from where I spent most of my life (and where most of my family are).
I love moving!

82 miles to where I was born, 82 miles to where I grew up - about 24 miles between those two. (We moved when I was about a year old.) I would probably move back home if I had more money and there were more jobs there.

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/01/2021 13:06

Just under 33 miles from where I was brought up.

Insert1x20p · 20/01/2021 13:07

6,000 at the moment. But actually I was born in Brighton so I'd be happy to live there again. DH's hometown is also lovely and we'll probably move there in a few years, having lived in other UK cities and countries in between.

BlackeyedSusan · 20/01/2021 13:16

17 miles. I moved further away but moved nearer again. Never further than about 60 miles.
