  1. Alpha. I remember them as 3 storey houses, after reading your post above, I zoomed in on the photo and can see they were 3 storey.
  2. In the black and white picture above, on the right hand side is a row of houses. It's the first time I have seen a picture of these. My friend's aunt Daisy lived in one and I remember visiting her. I believe they were pit houses.
  3. I thought you were going to say the cheese named after you was Philipdelphia!
  4. I was born December 46 and I was told, it was March 47 before I left the house.
  5. We have big cats wanderinf our neighbourhood, as does everyone down here. Bobcats, they are beautful.
  6. Albert's last posting on FB was April last year.
  7. My 3rd story of a coincidence. My hubby went to Hogarth infants and juniors and has a friend on FB who was in his class all through these 2 schools. Tarn is her name, and she often liked something I would post, so I sent her a friend request. She accepted, and me, killing time one day, looked at her friend list to see if I knew anyone on there. I recognized a name, Colin Fryer, and asked her how she knew him? I knew him from my teen years as he was a neighbour of my best friend Pat. She said her husband and Colin grew up together as theyliveda couple of doors apart. So I said, then your husb
  8. We lived there 75-77 and the butcher then was Hacketts.
  9. Funnily enough Beekay, we took our then 3 year old grandson on that ride. It is the most tame ride you can imagine, especially for very young children. He screamed bloody murder all the way through it. The staff offered to stop the ride, but we declined.Figuredhe would calm down. He didn't, so for the rest of the visit, one of us stayed on terra firma with him, while the other did the rides!
  10. I have 2 more stories ( you may wish you never asked! ) We were in the long check-in line at Heathrow for our return flight to Phoenix. It zigged snd zagged for ever, as it was the line for all international flights. We got chatting to a fellow traveller, asked him which flight he was on. Phoenix. So are we, do you live in Phoenix? No, he said, Crown King. Crikey, we have never known anyone who lived there. Crown King is 28 miles off the interstate, accessed by a road so rough you need a 4 wheel drive. The population is well under 150. I said to him, our daughter went there a few weeks ag
  11. There is usually a McDonald's in each town, that is where I nip in for a McPee.
  12. A few years ago, our friends from Radcliffe on Trent were visiting us. We took them to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. It is a huge place with about 6 different trails to walk. We were on one trail, chatting away, when a young couple came towards us. The fella said, English voices, as he heard us talking. We stopped to chat, he told us he originated from Lancs, said he used to live in Phoenix but moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I said, my daughter's friend moved there, but is now moving to Lancashire to get married. He said, Tina? I said yes! He said, if you know Tina, do you
  13. Isn't that Shaftsbury, where me great grandma was born.
  14. A few years ago my husband grew a mustache and small beard. I didn't particularly like it but let him get on with it. After about a year I said to him, oh, you've shaved off your beard and mustache! Very droll, he replied, I shaved it off 2 days ago.. oops!
