This thread made me laugh - I always compare 'real' places to Middle Earth! And I thought I was the only crazy one!

Well, I currently live in a big hilly city so I would guess I live in Minas Tirith, but that's where the similarity ends, as it certainly isn't a grand place. My office is in an eye-catching tiered building though, but with an 'Investors in People' flag at the top which is not so inspiring.

I am a Lancastrian, so you could say for real that I grew up in The Shire, as Tolkien is said to have been inspired by Lancashire's Ribble Valley countryside when visiting his son at Stonyhurst College. Although some parts of Lancashire can be a bit more like the dead marshes.
