If i had been a home birth, I would have been born in Sussex (Hartfield).
But, the hospital my mother was taken to was over the border in Kent, so I suppose I was actually Born in Kent.
However, I do not concider myself to be from kent, as the night i was born was the only night I have stayed...

Furthest north I have been was John O'Groats
I was station at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray and RAF Leuchars in Fife so spent the best part of 13 years up there.
The trips down to the Withdean were a bit of a trek then as i was a STH at the time
