I live in North East London. I have always lived in London. I was born in King's Denmark Hospital in South London. We lived briefly in around Clapham and then moved to Bow. I stayed there to around 8 and then left for North East London where I lived in the round about area since.
 
I live in Upstate New York, used to live in Florida but had to move in with my mum and stuff after my grandpa died back in June.

No, we don't call hamburgers 'steamed hams' up here, that's an Albany expression, that's basically the other side of the state. We do got the garbage plate though.
 
I live in Scotland, the UK. As a kid me and some other aspies I know liked looking at maps/atlases, who remembers this:-

The swastika was a positive symbol for thousands of years, before it was literally twisted into something else by a gang of bullies.
 
I live in hell (UK).

I have an unrealistic idea about the UK and England. I see it made so nice in movies and tv shows and books that I love so I think it is perfect and I wish I lived there but so many people from there say it can be really bad. I wonder if every place I think is perfect is not really.

I was surprised to find out they had crime in Canada. All my life in the United States where I live it was always said Canadians were so polite and did not even lock their doors. I think it may be nonsense though I always believed it because I hear about serious problems there just like here.

Being autistic I always felt too uncomfortable being around people and going places so I read books and watched movies and TV and I guess it made me thing things that were not true were.

I did once go to a place where it did seem really nice all the time and I actually was there so maybe I am right but also maybe I was not there long enough. It is a city called Alta Dena, in California, near Pasadena. Everyone was so nice and there were trees everywhere and it was so peaceful.
 
South Western Pennsylvania USA

I live about 25 miles north of West Virginia and about 50 miles east of Ohio in a small coal mining patch town that is about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
I was raised in Washington county near the heart of The Whiskey Rebellion.
Less than half a mile from where I was raised, a cabin built and lived in by Tom the Tinkerer still exists as a residence.
He was instrumental in the making of said rebellion.

Five miles away from my childhood home is Ginger Hill.

Ginger Hill is most famous for the time the revenuers came to dismantle the stills in the area.
They stayed in the Ginger Hill Inn where the proprietors got them drunk on ginger brandy the night before the event.
As history has stated, the locals were able to dismantle their own stills the next morning while the G-men were sleeping off their hangovers 🥳

Also in Ginger Hill, the cabin in the book "The Cabin Faced West" is still a residence.
"The Cabin Faced West" by Jean Fritz tells the story of a young girl named Ann Hamilton who, with her family, has moved to the western frontier of Pennsylvania, where she feels lonely and misses her old life in Gettysburg due to the lack of friends her age; despite the challenges of pioneer life, she finds companionship with a neighbor boy, Andy McPhale, and eventually experiences a surprising visit from George Washington, which helps her appreciate the unique aspects of her new home.
 
"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a country in Northwestern Europe, off the coast of the continental mainland."
United Kingdom - Wikipedia

"Despite being a part of Europe geographically, the English people are some of the least likely in the whole continent to see themselves as truly European."
Is England Part of Europe?

I don't see myself as European and I am not living in England, but I do live in the UK in mainland Britain.

Incidently, where I reside is about 5 miles from US 40 aka The National Road.

The National Road was the first federal road project from our earliest beginnings.
It was in fact a turnpike built out of felled trees to mitigate mud-rutting by wagons.
We still have some remnants of those olden days:

The machinery preservation society I am a member of is called The National Pike Steam Gas and Horse Association very near Brownsville. Pennsylvania.
Also local to me is Braddock's Grave near Fort Necessity.
