Where I live now, the iconic building of the city is long-defunct crumbling department store and we meet up with friends at the MOTH, ayit.

My hometown? Dogging. Stan Collymore and dogging.

We all work as lumberjacks, wear plaid shirts and have a moose for a pet. But we are also very polite.😁

Aberdeen?

If you've been to the town I grew up in, you probably took the wrong exit off Spaghetti Junction.

That's all I need to say, but it used to be famous for leather and its street market. We am yam-yams and this 'eh' in Poland!

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once we see a crowd
Of tourists checking out our lovely Booths"

Made famous in the nineties after a bbc report about towns with high STD rates

The only place in the country to have a split tier ice rink

Recently became a City

The only place you can meet polar bears!

Next week is a busy horse racing week for us.
