Hmm. It looks as if I've only ever lived in two places. However, what this very abbreviated set of census returns disguises is that between March 1981 and March 1991 I also lived in Englefield Green, Surrey (1981-4), York (1984-9) and Cambridge (1989-90). This doesn't make me enormously well-travelled, true; but it's a shame that this gadabout decade (by my standards) has fallen quite so comprehensively through the interstices of documentary history.
