Do you want just UK replies? Otherwise you are going to get long lists from most posters.
The only UK country I have never visited is Northern Ireland.

JustGiveMeReason · Yesterday 00:21

Do you mean (as implied by your own answer) which of the Home Countries have to been to?

or

are you really asking people to list every country they have ever visited for any reason ?

Yes, actually! Also it would help to clarify birthplace, also I assume it to be the first country listed.

Sorry, yes, just UK, apologies if it weren't clear. Impressed by all the globe-trotters but I did just mean UK.

I really should visit N.I. some day. Ferry from Cairnryan (near Glasgow, where we live, or Birkenhead near my parents). I quite fancy the Birkenhead to Belfast ferry. We stayed in a hotel in Rhyl over Christmas; I loved seeing it pass by all lit up in the dark of an evening.

I have also holidayed in many other countries but this isn't what the OP asked.

Lived in Scotland (as a student) and now have a part-time base there, though mainly live within a few miles of the England/Wales border.
Worked mainly in England, but also Scotland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.
Holidayed everywhere apart from Northern Ireland (it’s on the list, though).
