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/

175 miles, 3hrs 20. But I've lived on a different continent as well, so it's not as far away as I have been.

Between 40 and 5400 in my house. 108 personally.

Lived 90% of my life within a 1 mile radius ( 4 homes within it, 3 very short term outside it)

Can't imagine living anywhere else.

fedupandfiredup · 19/01/2021 00:04

I live in a new build which I moved into last year. According to Apple Maps, it's 0.2 miles from the house I was born in (home birth). Wonder if I'm the closest...?!

Franticbutterfly · 19/01/2021 00:11

34 miles, but it has been much further than that in the past.

McCorona · 19/01/2021 00:18

I live three quarters of a mile as the crow flies from the building I was born in. About half a mile from my childhood home.
