Selly Oak, then Leigh (Lancs) then Bolton and finally Stafford. Not very adventurous, but I did live in ten different houses before I was 18. It was complicated.
Nechells, Bordesley Green, Black Heath and the last 40 years Hall Green.
OldhamLeigh? Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
Indeed. Never have I hated a place so much. It was primitive.
It hasn't changed much, although it does have a rugby stadium far too large for it's needs now.
Aston - Reading - Stockbridge (Hants) - Warminster then Trowbridge then Steeple Ashton (all Wilts) - Villeneuve sur Lot (France).
It's not been a steady upward progression, but it's certainly ending better than it started.
OldhamIt hasn't changed much, although it does have a rugby stadium far too large for it's needs now.
I was only there for about 18 months (1970-71) and it was a culture shock for a 10 year old from Birmingham, I can tell you that! I used to attend the odd rugby league match, and lived there when the whole town must have gone to Wembley the year that they won the Rugby League Cup, or whatever it was called, with local legend Alex Murphy as captain. I went to school in Bolton after my 11 plus, so it made sense to get the hell out ofDodgeLeigh, and never ever have I been so glad to do anything in my life.
Bournville, Gloucester, Coventry, Edgbaston, Walsall, Great Barr, Wolverhampton for the last 37 years.

Nan and Grandad were Small Heath, I was born Marston Green hospital, then Mom and Dad moved around a bit in my early years, Yardley, Dad got a job down the pit at Hamstead pit so we moved there, then Handsworth Wood then finally to Rugeley, Staffs when I was about 10.
Still here now.

Are you on the run from a very persistent bailiff?
I drink in the manor occasionally . What’s a gym ?
Are you on the run from a very persistent bailiff?
Not at all ...
early years - let's just say i got used to being "the new kid in school" apart from when i was back in New Oscott when it was "oh, you're back"
Then a bit of travelling - then Uni - then wherever work took me - then a great relationship (and wherever that took me) - then a failed relationship - then back to the great relationship and then settled
Have lived/stayed in quite a few other places not on that list but tried to stick with places where i was living for 6 months or more
<< edit >> just realised i missed out Florida where i was twice - 2 x stints - 1 @ 8 months 1 @ 3 months ... which counts because it was more than 6 months
