Moved to Sullington in 2001, have no intention of leaving, although a little Flat somewhere in Italy would be nice for those dreary winter months - research ongoing...

Probably due to your superfluous capital 'F', I read that as you yearned after a 'little FIAT' to spend your Italian winters in!

Born in Brighton General (about 10 years after it had stopped being the workhouse). Lived here until uni at Bradford and then London for 22 years. Moved back to Brighton 13 years ago and hope to be here until the end of my days.

Went to uni in Bristol in 2006 and lived in Cheltenham since 2010. Very happy living in the South West and returning to Brighton for the odd long weekend.

Aye, more out than in. 0-2 in Reading, and then a little under two decades in Brighton. The last 22 years have been in London, university and onwards, a collection of tales of non-progression and mild mishappery then unfolding. I'd say Brighton remains home, whilst here in the big and eerie smoke, but each time I return to visit mother Meade, or the junior siblings Meade, it's a slightly alien place to me - don't recall the Lewes Road all those years ago being a pure haven for students. I have been thinking for a short of maybe returning, so perhaps it's time to look into that properly.

Bevendean Crescent, Warleigh Road, Eaton Place, Roundhill Road, Exeter Street, Stonecroft Close, Florence Road, Westway Gardens, Solway Avenue, has been my path. Mostly Brighton with a bit of Hangleton and a dash of Mile Oak.

Meopham, Kent.
I've now lived in Kent for more of my life than I lived in Sussex.

Came up here for University, met my wife, and have never moved back.

Went to Bristol Poly in 87. Stayed afterwards around Bristol and Bath getting my football fix watching City and Rovers but the most exciting part of the game was hearing the half-time scores and how we were doing. Lovely part of the Country and explored a lot of the South West and Wales, but the call to the South Coast was too strong and moved back at the beginning of 99.

I thought I was the only one! Smashing little town Biggin Hill, I miss it despite the fact there is practically nothing there (until you read into the history)

1960 - Born in Woodingdean
1967 - moved to Saltdean
1983 - moved into flat with g/f in Haywards Heath
1987 - married and moved to Burgess Hill
1992 - moved to bigger house in Burgess Hill with 2 kids
2002 - moved to Telford with work, mainly as a direct result of 9/11

Folks still in Saltdean, get back couple of times a year - miss the sea and the prom - Albion away games have been my fix for the last 10 years but this might now have to end due to inadequate loyalty points

Lived in West Yorkshire for about 6 years. 3 at Uni and 3 immediately afterwards. Lived in Barnsley, Wakefield and a village outside Huddersfield. I loved the West Riding. Interesting folk.

Left Brighton to go to uni in Manchester - and effectively never lived there again (apart from holidays). That was 48 years ago.
Manchester ain't that bad - except for the weather and the time/cost it takes to get to Brighton.
