Most MNetters seem to live south. I haven't seen anyone from my area - Scotland, Dunbartonshire - and I've been on MN under various usernames for nearly 7 years now I think.

Tell me where you're from and let's see if anyone is local to me or you. If anyone's near me, please PM! I really want to meet more people and I can't be the only one, right?

So let's hear where you're from!

York - I love it. Born in Newcastle, brought up in Islington and moved to Connecticut when I was 15. Came back and went to Manchester University, lived in Vienna for 5 years, back to Connecticut. Met my husband while visiting someone I hardly know in York. Fell in love with him and the place.
