14 Miles, from Moss Side to Saddleworth.
How far do you live from where you were born? Page 10

I've marched around Saddleworth several times. Always ended in Delph. Nice part of the world.
Edit: Incredible Human Journey. Incredible. And the presenter I have an unhealthy fixation on 
9.261 miles
Curiously, my branch of the family doesn't get about much. If you track my direct decendents back they've all been from Lincolnshire for the past 200 years and for the 300 before that, they all lived in Suffolk. I've bucked the trend and live in between the two in Peterborough.

A colleague's sister had a baby in their toilet last week, two days before the mother's birthday. Bizarrely, the colleague had her daughter in the toilet too but this time two days AFTER her birthday. Spooky, huh?

Do they not have hospitals where they live?

I didn't ask - I guess they were both very supple.
I suspect they meant their downstairs cloakrooms but I keep getting an image of them doing the Domestos run.

Me too. It's like we're twins
Yikes! I'd never noticed the likeness before 
That just scared the shit out of me. I had a good look in my orange juice to see if the cat had spiked it!
Only temporary mate - I was about to change mine anyway and this seemed too good an opportunity to pass up.
Normal service will be resumed presently.

I'm finally home. I'll begin as soon as I'm finished cooking dinner.
Quote: Leevil @ July 14 2009, 8:55 PM BSTAnd quite a nice circle if you die there.
That would spoil my plans of dying in a jaquzzi, drinking champagne and surrounded by 18 year old topless (female) models celebrating my 100th birthday.
That's how I died...

Brill. I don't normally go in for that kind of programme, but it really was fascinating.

Just finished the first episode. I now have a crush on the host. She's pretty and smiley and smart. ::Commence stalking::
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ July 14 2009, 9:31 PM BSTBy Britons they mean Celts and Anglo Saxons?
No, by Britons they mean we're still largely descended from the people who were living here before the Roman invasion. I think Anglo-Saxon was the next largest contributor to genes. Also, Celts weren't really a people, it was a culture.
I'm no expert though, all information herein has been gleaned from TV and online forums.
