About 50m as the crow flies!

Born by ELCS upstairs and now work in A&E in the same hospital!

GoodChat · 07/04/2023 16:06

About 40 miles

saltwater1985 · 07/04/2023 16:06

Do I win the nearest? I could walk upstairs and stand in the operating theatre 🤣

You definitely do. I thought you meant miles when I first started reading your post but you really did mean m Grin

TheChosenTwo · 07/04/2023 16:07

About 25 miles. Born in London but we moved further out when I was young and pretty much stayed around the same area now I’m grown up.

So if someone had your IP address, you've just given them your place of birth. PIN number, anyone?

ApolloandDaphne · 07/04/2023 16:09

About 200 yards.

DiscoBeat · 07/04/2023 16:09

It's a great question! 30km.

8099 miles apparently

seperatedmum · 07/04/2023 16:11

111 miles (I probably pass the hospital more now visiting family by car than I did walking as a child)

Baneofmyexistence · 07/04/2023 16:12

363 miles. Not in the UK.

Wavesandsmilesencore · 07/04/2023 16:18

629km as the crow flies, but a lot of travel involved (so a lot more travelled!)

emmathedilemma · 07/04/2023 16:19

about 220 miles (that's driving, it's probably less in a straight line)
