Now, now, Andy, I'm from Essex, or London, I'm never really sure.
Where I was born, and where I first lived, which weren't quite the same place, but which were quite close to eachother, were in Essex, but became part of London when I was 8, although the post office took 35 years to recognise the change. Later that year, we moved back to Essex, so to speak.
After college (Loughborough University, so nowhere near London atall) I moved to Surrey, and then into London, but again into an area that the post office still called Surrey for a long time, although that's now also a London address.
If that weren't enough, all the areas of Essex I ever lived in were part of London before the Saxons came, although that was in about 600 AD.
