Lori, I live in the midlands - Birmingham, UK. I was born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, my heart is in Wales where my family are from, my eyes are still in Crete, where I would live part time if I was wealthy.

I live in Coesfeld, a small town in the north-west of Germany and was born here, but I grew up in Dortmund, a city on the river Ruhr. Both Coesfeld and Dortmund belong to the Bundesland North Rhine-Westphalia. If there are any soccer fans among you, you may know the "BVB Borussia Dortmund" ?! Love, Susanne

I have lived in Southern California, USA for a few years now, and it's raining today. I thought "it never rains in Southern California." But you see, that's OK! I come here by way of Chicago, Illinois in the heart of the Midwest. And we don't melt....(so that means I'm the only woman on the street that doesn't scurry out of the rain or hide beneath a delicate umbrella). I'm soaked, currently, by the way.

I was born (and presently live) just north of Brisbane in the sunny state of Queensland, Australia. I do not ride on kangaroos, throw boomerangs or say "g'day mate". I do drink XXXX beer and love our beautiful beaches and blue skies.

I would love to visit parts of Australia and New Zealand. For now tho,' it's good to have input from yet another continent and culture.

;D I live in a rural corner of South east Essex, go any farther East and you get very wet. Round here they do date relatives and the shops are full of gloves with 6 fingers. I'm allowed to say that because I am originally from South Manchester. No I haven't got a whippet, don't own a flat cap and have never touched a pidgeon MM

Ok so I don't get it, but then again I'm not too familiar with geography Expecially the '6 fingered gloves' bit Lori it's got nothing to do with geography! The premise of this is that people who live in isolated rural areas, don't get to meet other people very often. As a result, close relatives can sometimes have (ahem) intimate contact with each other - if you get my drift. It is said that any child conceived between close relatives has a higher possibility of a genetic defect. Extra fingers/toes, webbed feet etc, are the examples that people usually give. I trust that makes Mad Scientist's post clear. I can't believe I've just explained that to you - I should have told you to ask your Mum!
