I come from Saltcoats in Ayrshire which is on the south west cost of Scotland, about 30 miles south west of Glasgow.

And not SALTCOATES OR AYRESHIRE as I get from certain English people who send me things through the post.

Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire. It's in the St. Albans district but has the 'distinction' of being inside the M25, just. I help run Herga, Wealdstone, North London but with aforementioned M25, I'm a regular at Maidenhead, (when not on sick-leave.)

At Mr. Happy's prompting, I confirm that my mugshot, last known address and Date of Birth have been added to the files since I first posted to this thread.

[Note to non-UK readers of this thread; "Roysten Vasey" is the fictional town in which the rather dark comedy series, "The League of Gentlement" was set. Much of the filming was done in Glossop, where I live, and Hadfield, just over the hill. Other locations used were near Marsden, in West Yorkshire. Roysten Vasey is also the real name of comedian, Roy "Chubby" Brown, who appeared in some cameo roles in the series.

To be exact, I live roughly halfway between Manchester and Sheffield.]

As a geordie in exile, I did try to adapt to these Southron climes, sitting on the porch in a rocking chair with a jar of cornmash, but the rain kept driving me inside. Lankies and yorkies alike are only a short step up from B*****y Southerners.

What do you mean Dave - "We're only just over the border from Kent..."

You aren't saying you actually recognise these modern changes to Counties are you? Click on "Eltham in this list, and you should see an 1870 Map of Eltham - clearly marked as in Kent. (You'll be saying Walthamstow isn't in Essex next, and Tony Kendall will be coming after you.)

Born and bred in Halifax but now reside in sunny Dover. I see Dover is listed as the 32nd worst place to live in Britain, but it really isn't that bad, despite some negative publicity over recent years. Busiest ferry port in the world, despite the high prices for crossing only 21 miles to Calais. Thriving cruise terminal etc. etc.. Used to be a folk club here many years past but now the nearest one is in Deal and the Deal Hoodeners have been revived. Plenty of clubs in the area and of course Broadstairs folk festival is not too far from here.

South Ruislip:- it's full of DIY warehouses, Furniture stores and Electrical goods showrooms. Not a decent Folk Club in sight. Only salvation is it's not too far from the best one in the Country (in Harrow Weald).
