Where are we all from ?

[staffsblue]

Born in Leeds
Dad from South East London, his Dad from Tyneside, family originated from Norway.
Mum from Lincoln, her family from Kent, family were French Huguenots who were forced out by the Catholics.
Currently split my time between Stafford and Manchester, but have previously worked in Leeds, York, Doncaster, Birmingham and London.

So I was born in Leeds from Norwegian blood, but unfortunately my similarities with Erling end there!
