Liverpool, a fabulous city. I moved many times before ending up where I am now.

I don’t really think we are giving anything dangerous away - a long time ago for some of us! The dangerous things, apparently, are birthdates - which is why I keep getting birthday wishes on various dates I have made up for online dealings with different companies. Amazing who they give data to really.

Anyone else born in Ireland. I can’t be the only one.

Thanks for the warning. How can I stop Facebook congratulations for my birthday?

I was born in Johnstone which happened to have the nearest maternity unit that was geared to cope with premature births.

In case you are wondering, it is near Paisley.

Not me but DH was born in the car park of a cinema where coincidentally we had our first date!
