I used to visit Long Island quite a bit a long time ago. We had a data centre in Hauppauge. Used to stay at a hotel in Port Jefferson.Long Island, New York for me. Before that time in Aberdeen, Holland and London. Thatcher's Britain screwed up my job when I graduated from Teesside Poly and I ended up moving to London.
Are you a separatist?Barcelona, Spain, will have lived here 7 years this summer.
Not at all, after what they did to the city last autumn I can’t support them, granted it’s a young minority in the riots but that’s still thousands and they made the place an utterly miserable place to be for a good few weeks.Are you a separatist?
Northumberland, not far from Berwick. It’s a great place to be; fantastic coast and hills, castles every few miles, peaceful but Edinburgh just 60 miles away, fast trains to everywhere.
The only downside is that it’s not a great place to get old or fall ill as the nearest A&E is 63 miles away in Cramlington. I am pally with a local doctors’ practice manager and once said to him, “I don’t want to die in Cramlington “ He replied, “don’t worry, you almost certainly won’t die in Cramlington.........
......you are far more likely to die in an ambulance on it’s way to Cramlington that’s stuck behind a tractor, a combine harvester and half a dozen caravans and articulated lorries on a single carriageway section of the A1”

Are we all based in and around Teesside or are there plenty of us spread further afield?
I live in Blyth (please, don’t hold it against me) but originally from Ashington. Not sure if that’s better or worse to be honest
