Last weekend I was asked why I wasn't "harder" because of where I grew up (😂 not heard the term used by an adult before)
Have you had any preconceptions made about you because of where you are from? did you live up to those preconceptions?

I can relate. People laugh when they hear me speak then find out where I grew I up (Catford).
Also anyone who has to know my history (official types) they're always surprised I'm fairy well put together.

There are plenty of preconceptions made about 'southerners'.
I lived in a very large detached house from the age of around 10. People assumed that our family was rich and posh.
I went to an all girls grammar school. It was assumed I was posh, rich and a snob.

It’s about the individual not necessarily where they grew up as influences go |

The ironic thing is the area I grew up in isn’t rough at all. It was actually quite nice (as far as Birmingham areas go) |

It might be now, perhaps gentrified somewhat I don't know I never go there. 35 odd years ago it wasn't alright by most people's standards (I lived right on the outskirts but still Catford postcode!) |
