    Lived in BOA for many years and my folks are still there. Maybe we should have our own little section on here! Any other Bradfordians?

    Quite a few people at my school lived in BOA. I lived out the other direction, near Timsbury. Real oo-arr country.

    I remember a story told by the local butcher there, in a thick somerset accent about someone else who came in with a somerset accent and

    "Iz accent waz zo ztraaanng I cudnn oonnerstan wat 'e waz zaying"

    Martin - Southampton is not a bad place to live though. I lived in Swaythyling and then St. Deny's. It's as close to city living as I'd be comfortable with, but up here there is no way I'm going to live in a town or city.

    I was actually offered a job in Bath about 18 months ago. Quite how you're supposed to live in Bath on £12800 I'm not sure...

    That was a rather unexpected reaction to mentioning BOA! I lived there for just a couple of years, in a flat in the converted Old Brewery on Newtown.

    I'm slowly warming to Southampton, but particularly the first 6 months I was here I tended to be away most weekends so I still kind of feel like I'm getting to know it to be honest. Trouble is I've been kind of spoilt having spent 9 years in Oxford/Bath/BOA, so most towns suffer by comparison...

    Close to the Ropewalk*, but a bit further west along the road on the opposite side (on the corner with the pleasantly named Wine Street). Nice views like you say though; my flat was top floor and sitting in my lounge I could see out over the river to the Tythe Barn. The flat itself was somewhat 'compact' mind, so not perfect, although I do miss the admirable soundproofing.

    *I think that's a retirement place isn't it? I'm a little young for that yet (27). Better post this before my birthday next week mind!

    I was there 1987-1990 and I liked Bristol a lot. I was living in Clifton, which was nice :) . I learned to drive there too :eek: . I haven't been back since so it's probably changed a lot. The Arnolfini and the Waterfront were nice places. Used to do a bit of rock climbing in the Avon gorge at weekends too. One thing I couldn't stand was the Bristol accent :chunder: . A west country accent I don't have a problem with but pure Bristol really sounds horrible to me - sorry btw if you have one :D .

    Michael.

    I don't recall him, no.

    Did have Andy Robinson for maths though. As in, the same Andy Robinson that is now England Rugby coach.
