I was born and brought up in Blackburn, Lancashire.
I went to Polytechnic in Coventry and I now work in Burnley, Lancashire.

I now realise why I've suffered with depression on and off throughout my life.

Bloody hell
that's worse than my catalogue of brought up in Preston, went to uni near Middlesbrough and now work in Birmingham!

I was lucky
Born in Blackburn too, but was evacuated to Johannesburg in late 1970 - one of the better decisions my parents made. I've only been back once - my dad's best mate gave me a guided tour of where we used to live, and showed me the remains of the recently-demolished hospital where I was born. He's never left Darwen (on Beelzebub Boulevard - the A666), and has nothing bad to say about Blackburn - odd, that.
