I'm from Harlow, had my driving test in Stortford yesterday! I've only joined this forum today, was suprised to find someone so local, proper freaked me out lol, always nice to see people with similar interests anyway.
^ You've got Bristol a couple of hours south of you. There's a good scene there. PM me if you want party details or at least where you can look them up.
I'm living near Southampton again for now. Will either move into Southampton proper in the next month or two, or commute from here.
