Where did you say?
The question about registration numbers got me to thinking about where we came from.
Where were you born, do you still live there and if not have you been back, how much has it changed, where do you live now?
I was born in East Dulwich Hospital East Dulwich London.
Have not been back there since 1980 and now live in Melbourne Australia.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Where did you say?
John, I was also born in London (Queen Charlottes) and lived there until the Germans didn't like our house, we were moved to Manchester and the Germans didn't like that house either, so we were moved to York and the Germans didn't like that house as well, so ended up in a condemned cottage in the Yorkshire Dales, they didn't find us there. Been back to all the places many times but the cottage has finally been demolished, bet the Germans were disappointed they didn't get that one
