Sheep stealing, cuddlepop? Stranded from the Spanish Armada sounds much more exciting. (Well, if the English gentleman James Bond can change into an immortal Spanish Gentleman with that accent, why not?)

Small world Badger, Fishtoft was just up the road from where I used to live in Boston, I had a horse for a while up at Marsh Farm. Whereabouts in Fishtoft were you from.

I was only 10 when we lived there and that was too many years ago to admit here. In fact our old home doesn't exist any more (the old rectory) as it was demolished years ago.
Yes, Paris, I remember the name Wyberton. A friend of my mother's still lives in Fishtoft - she must be 90 now and has lived in her present house all her life. Comes from a gypsy family and is a tiny little lady sitting by the fire doing embroidery and looked after by family nearby.
Wonder how many people have origins like that? I've moved so often I sometimes think it must be wonderful to just stay in one place - real home.

Yellowstone park, where most of the Bears come from Nah, not really just plain boring Wonderful Wick(allegedely)

[katarina]

[paris]

[landmarker]

Maternal grandparents descended from Scottish border folk and well to do Salford drapers - my Great Grandfather was cast out from the fold - the black sheep of the family.

Paternally descended from Shropshire agricultural labourers and shoe makers.

Father settled here after being billeted near M/Cr airport during WW2, where he met me Mam.

I consider myself a citizen (not subject) of Britain, and that includes Scotland and Wales. Some might have different ideas but I consider it my right to settle anywhere on this island. No-one can be truly sure of where they have come from, though I can say with certaintly where I am going, eventually.

I believe we have your children phoenix you can beam them up as you fly past....

[Rheghead]

I am from England.

Then I can claim duel countyship with Lancashire and Cumbria when it suits me. I was born in Ulverston which became a part of Cumbria in 1972. To narrow it down further, I am from 'South Ulverston' which is not in the South of the Town but the East.

My wife is Scottish, who thinks that marrying a Scot gives Englishmen their Scottish residency rights. I just think that I am taking advantage of laxidazical immigration rules.
But if the pitchfork mob are seen heading my way then I'll get the message

[gleeber]

Well, around 14 billion years ago there was this big bang and here I am via the Glebe.
