Where are we all

Rinky I am in Newcastle, we had a GN meet up last year in Newcastle there are a few of us now in the North East.

Hi all, I'm from North Somerset, Weston super Mare, moved here 6 years ago from Kingston upon Thames in Surrey, love the peace and quiet after the rat race.

Hartlepool. Back here after London, west, north and then east yorks

There is a Cat Brain Lane Jeni. ?Somewhere just on the north west of Bristol. possibly off what was once the A38? Well it was that when I left Bristol in 1966! I think it still about but harder to find because of motorways.

Oh yes; Tom Hanks made a film about you a while back .

I live in the cargo village of Heathrow Airport. No the planes do not disturb us maybe get the smell of burning rubber from tyres on landing sometimes when the weather is very warm.

Hi all does anyone hale from Essex, the coast, Frinton on sea, is about 12 miles from Colchester?

I am in London. would love to move to a lovely Yorkshire Village.

I'm in a village midway between Gatwick and Brighton, an hour from London but 5 hours from where we used to live in South Devon and where we go at every opportunity.

And while we're about it, there's also the evocatively named Blubberhouses, near Harrogate.

In the North East they are very good at naming places. There's a place called Boghouses. When Ken used to tell me to go towards Four Lane Ends, I never knew where he was talking about. Isn't every crossroads where four lanes end? However, there is even a Four Lane Ends Metro station. And why Four Lane Ends and not Four Lanes End?
Sheepwash is on the River Wansbeck near Ashington. There's a single track bridge over it now, but you can see that's what it was.

Born and bred in York, now living in Wiltshire

He says he hasn`t got one, hope he`s not keeping things from me! We have a New York a few miles from here, but there aren`t any bright lights and theatres there, just a sleepy country village. A few years ago the local paper ran a competition, the prize was a weekend in New York, the winners were a little disappointed!

Or you might find you have a Battle to get it off him!!

numberplease if you find yr OH has got a Bosworth, it may be worth something. Near Husbands Bosworth there's a Market Bosworth!

The OS map of the King's Lyn area shows a place (or possibly a geographical feature) by the name of Cat's Bottom.

I always wondered about a place called Husbands Bosworth. What is a Bosworth? I want to know if my husband`s got one!

A sign post ,Pink Green only just outside Birmingham always amused me.

There is a cat rain hill near here.

London, same road but different roundabout. Must admit it's a big coop area round here. Wish I could remember my number from 40 years ago. I've probably got some money in there!

Crimson, Ken's dad used to be responsible for the repairs to the NCB houses in Shilbottle before he was made redundant and the pits closed down.

Relichunter, you do not need to read this.

In the place I used to live, industrial area, there was a Chemical Road.
Can't imagine anyone choosing that these days. Poor old chemicals have got a bad name for themselves. Instead, in this new town we have a Technology Drive.

We have a 'Slash Lane' which is the first place to get flooded in heavy rain and a lovely coffee shop over looking the canal that is accessed via 'Flesh Hovel Lane'. Our house is on a road that used to be called ' Catsic Lane'

jen cooperative villas is that in perkinsville beside ouston x

Making me think of Shilbottle now . Not sure if the road sign has been 'amended' recently!

My Danish daughter in law always used to laugh when we went past Skidby in the East Riding. Any place name ending in by means it is Viking and a village. Skid means shit. Sorry! Could not think of any other way to say it.
