Don’t say if you would rather not but curious as to the,probably many different towns/countries,we were born in. For me it was
Sidcup ( then in a Kent, maybe London now ?). My children are Aussies as are all the rest, grandchildren and gt grandchildren.

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

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.

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.

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

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