I took it as where you feel your home is. You could have moved away but feel your home is where you grew up. Or you could have moved somewhere and feel that’s where your home is now.

We’ve got John Hurt, which is pretty great, but not as great as:

Guy Garvey (his big sister used to babysit me & my sister)
Gary & Phil Neville
Kieran Trippier
Andy Goram

Tim “Fucking” Peake

We could walk around shouting each other’s usernames until we meet?

(I’m not still there, grew up there but then moved to Glasgow)

He used to live next door to an ex-girlfriend of mine (in Leigh). They had them over for an Xmas do one year, and her Dad had bookmarked a load of pages in some ancient joke book that he thought he might like/find useful. Poor Phill. Apparently he was all “Oh, great. Cheers!”.

King Alfred the Great was born there. There is a big statue in town that everyone throws pint glasses at on NYE

Also Lester Piggott was born there and John Betjeman lived there

  • Where I was born: Gary Lee Weinrib from Rush
  • Where I live now: Henry III

Probably Lewis Hamilton (Stevenage).

John Cooper Clarke lived there for a bit, and is rumoured to have written Evidently Chickentown about the experience. If this is true, then he has pretty much nailed it.

SNAP.

Notable mention for Howard Marks also…

And he was mentioned quite a bit at the junior school as just about the only notable former pupil.

Didn’t know you were from Oundle.

You’re not the boss of me. I’ll co-opt who I like.
