Ou Habite Tu?

[dave_finlayson]

I'm ashamed to say I have spend all 31 years of my life in Edinburgh. Although this seems to be an Edinburgh thing, nobody likes to leave for some reason!

3. Elgin (Scotland)

I *knew* you were good people..


Forres (1954)
Elgin (1955/57)
Nairn (1958/65)
Rothes (1966/67)
Elgin (1967/72)
Inverness (1972/74)
Peterhead (1974)
Inverness (1975)
Loch Kishorn (1975/77)
Peterhead (1977/78)
Stockton-on-Tees (1978/80)
Inverness (1980/84)
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (1984/86)
Inverness (1987)
Riyadh (1987/89)
Bagdhad, Iraq (1989/90)
Dubai, UAE (1991/92)
Kuwait (1992/93)
Elgin (1993 - still there at heart)
Tengiz, Kazakstan (1993/94)
Mancheria, Algeria (1994/96)
Hassi Messaoud, Algeria (1996/1999)
Alexandria, Egypt (1999/2003)
Bahrain (2003/04 - actually spent a lot of this time in El Khobar, Saudi Arabia, but not enough to meet the six month rule)
Alexandria (2004 - still here)

Now have homes in both Elgin and Alex.

(List would have doubled if the rule was three months, instead of six - or if I had included every address change. We have relocated seven times in our eight years in Alex, and if we had not bought our own property Liz was going to kill me if we had to pack again)

Just be glad the stipulation was six months or the list would be longer - I did a few 3-4 month assignments in the early years.
