strange that I feel sad about that .... I was born in Taunton due my old man working down there but shortly after my parents moved back home to the NW, I must have been only a few weeks old at the time.

Old man go a new job in Manchester (home).... In his old job the next project to work on was in Northern Ireland in the early 70's

I love Taunton, twas the first place I was sent to as a boy soldier, 15 years old, first time ever away from home and the bloody army sends me 220 miles from home. But I got my first girlfriend whilst I was there Siiiigh

yep, we were living in Glastonbury when this happened some years ago, the "levels" were flooded and we couldnt get out of the town, a transit van was washed off the Meare road into the river. we were sitting on the top of Windmill hill(where we lived then) able to go nowhere.
