Huh. I've just discovered that the Shire, from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings was based on the area I grew up. Weird.
...and that Horlicks was invented there too. Three miles from my childhood home.
I wonder which of these two things are greater? Hmm. Well, I don't like Horlicks and love The Hobbit, so I suppose the answer is easy, really. But Horlicks fans may disagree!
And omfg, Richard Hammond lives there too. Top Gear stalking ahoy! And...Simon Pegg was born in the same hospital as me. Only nine years earlier.
Amazing what facebook teaches you.
