How many others do not 'relate' to the cities or towns they were born in?
My story is similar to Oom Rob!
I was born in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. My parents emigrated to South Africa (Springs ) when I was 3 years old. I grew up in Springs and then moved to various places over the years, before bringing my family to England last year. I live quite happily in the South East at the moment.
Strangely, I should 'relate' to Springs, mainly as I grew up there, but consider Manzini (in Swaziland) as my heart's home. I lived there for the 6 years preceding my return to England and made many genuine and good friends (both local and expat) whilst there.
I could not live in Northallerton (even though all my relatives still live there), although I do visit ....
Its not my attitude that sucks, its your perception!
