Seeing as it's a slow day on here (and I'm bored), I know a lot of TEFers don't live locally but where were you born? I went to school with kids who had parents in the RAF and some were born in Singapore.

Chippenham - I think the place was called Greenways in those days....

My dad always used to say that there was a saying for Wiltshire boys (hence my little message thingy below) - Wiltshire boy born and bred - long in arm thick in head! Never heard anyone else say this though!

PMH.

Devizes!  ;D

Did.

I had to read that twice to work out it was in the UK.

Heard they eat a lot of chips in Wiltshire on account of there being Devizes for Chippenham ;)

Middlesex Hospital, Brent...just up the road from you.

Quarry Road, Old Town. Just along the road from some of the Fluck (sic) family, scruffy bunch they were. D Dors wasn't one of them.

Interestingly it doesn't seem like anyone comes from S E London, Old Kent Road / New Cross / Peckham etc. When I were a lad it seemed most of Park N and S had arrived from there. Maybe their allegiances have stayed with Millwall, Charlton, Palace, Hammers etc.

I think you'll find a fair proportion of Park South and North were born in Ireland like my folks were.

Born in PMH, grew up in Park South. Nobody ever believes me because I speak like a proper posho.

Maybe, but this is what I remember:


From the Swindonweb site.

I took a wee trip down there, met a few folk kicking about. It's as rough as a baby's arse.

Salisbury.....Oddstock hospital.

Jarrow then when 8 the canny lad moved to Penhill

PMH

Borough of Thamesdown.

Was there any objection from the Parks nimbys against the Walcot/Lawns developments  :hmmm:

That figures...

My mother inlaw and her siblings would fall into that catagory. Came over here early 70's for work and settleed here.
Plenty of Londoners did too along with Polish folk

My folks came over to London in the early 50s and lived in a shitheap flat and were offerred the chance to move to Swindon with a 3 bed houseand a garden - no brainer really. My dad had no oblections to Wealcot or Lawns as he was a labourer and these developments along with Nythe / Dorcan paid his wages.
A lot of the Poles came from Austria and other countries where they had been displaced after the war.

PMH

How long did t take you to walk? :D

British Military Hospital, Gibraltar.  :toocool:

Odstock, Salisbury. Insert joke about coming from 'odd stock'.

Or insert my fist into your mush ;)

Cranmore Avenue Park South.

Good lad. i spent the first 27 years of my life living there.

Reading, Berkshire...

PMH, nice and local

Hillingdon in Middlesex - mostly harmless

My sister was born there and is deffo odd stock :D

Strangely she wasn't born with burns either :eek:

One number out. 1867.

Greenways Maternity Hospital, Chippenham.

1964. But I look young for my age.

British Military Hospital, Berlin 1978. Was there more than one or do I share a birth-place with two others on here? - can't remember the district, born in august and home by christmas!

Admittedly of little interest to anyone else but I've never come across anyone born the same place as me (although I've never had the urge to look!)

Wakefield.

Broadgreen Hospital liverpool, both kids at the PMH  so been down south a while!

 :eek: Three of us JustBoiledOver, yourself, me and Hertha. That's come as a great surprise to me!

 All of the people i've previously encountered from a Forces background that were born in Germany have a West German location as their birthplace. Just done a google search about the hospital (think there was only one Military hospital in the city).
