I grew up in Bedford but have spent most of my adult life in London. Until the beginning of this year I was in South London, but I am currently in North London/Middlesex.

Have you met the devil yet? :wink:

You folks made me laugh! :lol:

By the way, Tasmania seems to be an interesting place to visit. Both New Zealand and Australia, but sadly, they are very far away from my home, and I don't feel motivated enough to stay in an airplane for hours.

I had to go on Google Maps when I saw Hobart mentioned here, since I knew nothing about it. It strikes me as a secret paradise, but that's partly a consequence of knowing almost nothing about Tasmania and thinking about it only once a year.

Weatherwise, not super warm in summer but warmer than Scotland (my benchmark), and not very cold in winter.

Andover, Massachusetts. Mostly Italian descent, with some Irish. Lived mostly in New Hampshire as an adult.

Yes, it's sort of out of the way down here. I like that. And I couldn't cope with the heat on the mainland any more. It was 45 degrees C in parts of the mainland yesterday. That would kill this old bloke. It can get to 40 in Tassie, too, but it's rare. 25C is fine for me.

The Devil is, alas, no more. The last one died in the Hobart zoo in the 1930s. There are attempts underway to resurrect it from DNA.

No, that's the Tassie Tiger. The Tassie Devil is fine, although facial tumor disease has been a threat.

Ah, yes, my apologies. My brain fell into a warp in space-time. By sheer coincidence, while the Devil was being discussed here I happened to be talking about the Tassie Tiger on another forum and I've got my wires crossed. Crazy!

You are quite right, the Tassie Devil is still going strong. I'd hate to see it go the way of the Tiger.

Cuban descent, currently living in Miami Beach, Florida, USA.

North-East UK in County Durham. Lived in Canada for a brief time when I was younger.

County Durham. — Daniel Duffy

I remember getting shocked when I heard the correct pronunciation of that English county for the first time!

Did you assume 'Durr-ham' instead of 'Duh-rum' lol

Yes, exactly. :rofl:

I recall that during school, we were required to read newspapers from the UK. One of the news was about a castle in Durham. All the students pronounced it as 'Durr-ham,' but when the teacher corrected us, saying 'Duh-rum,' I was surprised because I had been mispronouncing the word until that day.

I live near a town called Durham (there are 24 of them in North America). This one is pronounced Durram. I guess nobody has much regard for a central h.

I believe this the British pronunciation, as in The University of Durham.

Chicago, Illinois ( from a native American word for smelly onion)
