No I haven't. Don't lie.
Yes, you have. Many times in fact.
Here is just a quick sample both recently and going back decades:
One of the things I miss from home is bolognese pizza, a Leeds speciality.

I used to live very near the infamous Asbestos Triangle in Leeds - the factory is still there, too dangerous to demolish.

It's understandable though that you would want to lie that you haven't. Anyone would be embarrassed too. But your reminiscent posts do show you have genuine hometown pride when you make them.
