    Ok, so we have a "show us your cars" thread and a faces of guru thread. I thought why not have a show us where you live thread?

    So here, share the goodness, I'll go first and introduce you to my local area :)

    Where I live, Hampshire, UK. My house is the 2nd in from the left, next to that blue door. Notice me parking my car on that curb, a curb that gets pretty busy with cars and is up against a brick wall. Yeah, I've scratched wing mirrors on that brick wall before :)

    Don't think it's wise to share that kind of info on the web...

    Looks a really nice area, would love a canal that close to my place, I'd be out there fishing or playing with the pups every day

    Yeah, I thought of that. People do share pics of their cars parked in their drives though. It's a bit of a controversial topic, sure. If overall people disagree with such topic, I'll get this closed. Worth a try.

    Well it's down to choice, if someone doesn't want to post their home / street, they don't have to, thread doesn't need closing, not like people are going to post their house and then complain when people know where they live lol

    ...There's always the Tyne. :wanker:

    I'm pretty sure you're just along the road from me now I think about it. I posted some pictures of the view from my new flat awhile back, guess I'll repost those at least.

    Wish I had a garden when it's like this though, you've a lovely little area at the back of your place from the looks of it. Always been a fan of a good BBQ during the summer.

    Here's a picture out of a different window:

    Not the best quality but you get the idea.

    Also that's some amount of sag on the roof.

    Joists cracked?

    My city is under a lot of construction in the city centre, so it's not all that pretty. Will be for another decade or so.

    I still get through Durham fairly regularly, love the city centre next to the Cathedral. That and it's one of the few local areas I can buy Lindisfarne Mead! :p
