Nothing interesting or newsworthy ever seems to happen in my neck of the woods, Croydon. Well I don't think so anyway! Others may think otherwise.

What is your city / town / village etc, famous for? Or what famous or even infamous things have happened in your area?

My city is famous for the Minster, medieval streets, viking museum, national railway museum,and roman bits all over the place. Well known people from here include Judi Dench and Vince Cable............apart from that it's quite boring and always full of tourists.

if there is one place in the UK I would like to live other than my home town, it would be York
