Born in Blackpool, brought up 5 miles away in Thornton-Cleveleys. Spent a couple of years out-of-control in Fleetwood - another 5 miles further along the coast from Thornton-Cleveleys. Stopped being out-of-control and enrolled in college 30-some miles away from the Fylde Coast on the other side of Morecambe Bay in Lancaster. I stayed there 10 years or so until my Ma got ill whereupon I moved back to the Fylde coast and Blackpool. Met and bought a house with my ex who is still my housemate and am still in the pool that is blackest despite swearing that when Ma died - 11years ago - I'd leave again.
