Under an hour, but my parents were only there for work and moved back up north within a few years. It’s weird, me and my sibling ended up back in the area.

0.4miles. I live behind the hospital I was born in

HonorHiding · 07/04/2023 18:58

Almost exactly 50 miles/80 kilometres.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 07/04/2023 19:06

Just under 500 miles. Was totally random though, if I'd turned up six weeks earlier I would have been born in another country entirely to the one I was born in.

Cotswoldmama · 07/04/2023 19:15

Exactly 0.7 miles from the maternity hospital I was born in!

LT2 · 07/04/2023 19:15

I'm still there 32 years later! It's a lovely place to live so I don't intend to ever leave.

Capitulatingpanda · 07/04/2023 19:17

7 miles.

PlantPhoenix · 07/04/2023 19:24

Half a mile. But we left here when I was a tiny baby and I didn't return until I was 40. I've lived between twenty and 4500 miles away, in five countries and 26 houses. Ended up here accidentally.

instantpotnoodle · 07/04/2023 19:24

26 miles but up until recently it was 212 miles

About 60 miles, if that. I was born in Brighton more than 60 years ago. Mother married in an empire line dress and my grandparents rented them a house in Rottingdene for 12 months to dilute the shame and embarrassment!
