How many houses have you lived in? How is where you live now different from where you grew up?

Loads

1994-1995 Flatshare in Roehampton with 3 friends. 2 of them completely insane. One of them liked Keith Sweat, her room smelt fishy and her boyfriend turned out to be an armed robber. The other was just a complete pain in the arse. Met John whilst living in this house
