7 English counties
2 bits of London
1 Welsh county
3 other countries
Now I'm back a stone's throw from where I was born.

ninathenana yes I remember the sitcom. It was "on the up" with Dennis Waterman and I think Joan Sims played Mrs Wembley. It was a favourite with our family for a while.

One. Funnily enough - Norfolk. Seven homes throughout my life all within 15 miles of each other. A bit of a stick in the mud, me.

Since leaving Scotland (Borders and Fife) I have lived in 4 different parts of S London and here in N Bucks. DH on the other hand has lived in West London, Switzerland, Belgium, Berlin, France ,Central London again and then the same as me (plus 9 years in Westbourne/Bournemouth,so is that Dorset?? but coming home most weekends. )
I feel I need to get out more!

I've only ever lived in North London. I didn't even leave London for uni. Would never live anywhere else.
