    Hi Kath, Cinderhill to Arizona eh? I went from Cinderhill/Stockhill to Aspley! All things considered it's not a bad place to live, I've seen much worse. I went to Percy Street primary and Manning grammar. My kids all went to Crane. It's been pulled down now.

    Hello Sue from an unseasonably warm Northern Arizona. I was born and grew up in Cinderhill and went to school at William Crane for 10 yrs.

    Yes Bip, a battered old nissan urvan. Bought it off e-bay about three years ago and have travelled UK quite extensively in it since. Blues festivals mostly, and Scotland, Outer Hebrides, Orkney, Cornwall, Isle of Man.... the engine just keeps on going! It's not the best looking van and the insides have seen better days but we can cook a meal, sleep comfortably and watch telly if we camp on site with a hook up! It was a childhood dream to have a campervan but I never thought it would come true!

    So Sue you too have a campervan.............

    Yep! I was on IND3X and EFR many years ago. We lost touch for 10 or so years but have now reunited on facebook. It's not quite the same as chatting on the BBS but it serves its purpose.

    92 ish, the only way electronically mail the world was through mail packets via a BBS (Bulletin Board System) These were small local friendly systems, with access to Fido Mail. Each board was called a Node. Every BBS 'Sysop' had to compress and transfer mail packets by phone every day. These packets were merged into larger packets at fido hubs for onward transmission to the USA. The return mail was transfered in the same way and distributed to the Nodes. Amazing really how reliable this was.

    Local Nottingham BBS's included.

    Mission Impossible BBS

    Viper BBS (Bulwell) Sysop John ?

    Cobra BBS (Retford) Sysop John Cooke

    Outer Limits BBS

    The Fonty Towers BBS

    Maxima BBS

    Escape From Reality BBS

    I could be found on Viper and Cobra, Any other ex BBS users here ?
