Srs Nostalgia Bsness

I used to live here:








Photos and memories brought back by Geograph - just reached it's millionth image (weird, I remember when it started or when it was pretty new!).

I lived here (Much Wenlock) as a kid permanently for a year - even went to school there - but visited for most of my childhood as my parents had a cottage there - real dump of a place originally, they did it up themselves every weekend...and looking at the pictures it seems like a wonderland - obviously living there with non-existent bus service and everything shutting on Sundays it wasn't really the best place as a kid, but even then I realised how beautiful the place was and was sad when my mother sold the cottage and moved to London, severing my link to the place.

Much Wenlock is where the Olympics movement started, fact fans!

And so when you say you lived there, you're telling us that you're, what...400 years old? Is your name Orlando?

(Sorry, the preceding pithy observation has been brought to you by silly American standards of education and world view.)

that made me laugh out loud.
(even though I think that book sucks.)

*goes off to Google*

aah it wasn't called that here. Also remember I haven't watched UK television for 5-6 years...I am aware of Jam & Jerusalem though, never watched it...
