    Born and raised in North-East Hampshire. Dad and family grew up in Plumstead and most of my family now live in Bexleyheath/Dartford area, hence how I became a Charlton fan, along with the rest of my family.

    After living in Bristol and Warwickshire for the past few years, I'm now in Tunbridge Wells so hoping to get to many more Charlton games this season!

    I am a Charlton supporter after all.

    Seriously, members of my family and me have always worked in London, hence the locations.

    You sure it wasn't your parents telling you 'chisel hurts' when describing the best weapons to use - and the memory has blurred over the years?

    Brogib, genuine question - why France? and why Uzerche?

    Never really 'got' the people who have moved to France, thought that Spain would have been a better/more logical place to go to for people wanting to escape.

    Never really 'got' the people who have moved to France, thought that Spain would have been a better/more logical place to go to for people wanting to escape.
    I never moved away from the UK to escape anything mate, I just wanted to live in a house in the countryside and was never gonna be able to afford it in Southern England, so I moved here and lived at my mums for a bit, then bought a place with a bit of land and a lake for 30,000 Euros. Never fancied Spain at all tbh (All though after staying with friends in their tip top apartment in the old town part of Seville, that appeals to me).

    To answer the rest of your question, I'd need to know why you don't get France, but spain is more logical (If it's anything to do with the French being surender monkeys, I ain't interested mate)

    If I had known I was going to post rather than just lurk I might have thought about a more imaginative username when I registered.

    What like "Dippenhall_near_Farnham"?

    I agree with this. Not the same but my wife's mum's side of the family are from Germany. When I talk to my boss he still talks as if we're fighting a world war. He always try's to have a slight dig about nations based on some sort of outdated stereotypes. He loves the France white flag term as well, so pathetic
