My heart will always be in Liverpool but I live in Sweden. I have just today come back from my lovely hometown, will always miss it.

Hello to my fellow Lancastrians. I was born in Liverpool and lived there for 26 years. Then we moved a huge 20 miles to a small town near Wigan. I’ve been here for 56 years, almost long enough to qualify as a native pie-eater.
They say that I live in Greater Manchester, but I still consider myself to be half Liverpudlian, half Wigginer, and totally from Lancashire.

I live in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, the most western county in the UK close to the border with Republic of Ireland. I was born here but lived in Kent for a couple of years and most of my adult life in North Devon before retiring back to here. Getting older now so considering a move to Wales to live close to one of our children.

Melbourne ,which is huge, so take your pick which suburb. I agree, you have to be a bit careful these days.

My daughter and family live in Richmond. We were there at the start of our first lockdown but goodness knows when we’ll see them again. ?
I’m in West Yorkshire.
My daughter’s mil has lived in Richmond for many years. When we open up again we will go to see her. We are further out than that. My mum came from Leeds and I still have cousins round York. At least they are getting the vaccines here now so it won’t be too long before you can come over.

Haha…we’re from Leeds.

I'm in Merseyside, England.

For those from another country, that's the area around Liverpool and the River Mersey, adjoining with Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire.

Born in Yorkshire. Lived in different places in the UK. Been living in the US for the past 30 years, and in Northern California for 18 years. Love it; very happy here. But looking forward to being able to visit all our family again in England when it is easier to travel.

I live in England and have been a proud East Anglian all my life.

Reddingmuirhead, Falkirk but originally from Loch Lomond. I know it's a loch but it's where I identify as home. Oh god, I sound a bit 'woke'!

I hope no one is offended as no offence was intended.

Born and lived in London until 2 years ago then moved to Suffolk. One more move before we settle for good but will spend a good few years here in Suffolk before we move again.

My name says it all. Not happy to be classed as Greater Manchester. Address was Manchester, Lancs at one time. Think I know the city next to Manchester which is defended to the hilt by its people. Come under Wigan for some things but couldn't recognise myself as a Wiganer. Have a home in Spain which we haven't visited since March 2020. Fingers crossed for October!
