Hi Blondie I am no longer a member of this site but my Brother Pete married Diane, she is dead now, been dead about 3 years. She died exactly of what her Mother died of "Peggy" Brain cancer. They all took after her mother, a bit wappy or at least those i met did especially "John". Cheers Tony.

I have lived in Newbury Berkshire for just over 5 years. I married a Newbury Gal which i met on the internet. I have always had the wanderlust, and when we got offered this Flat in Newbury I, and the Mrs jumped at the chance. I couldn't wait to get out of Nottingham, it's not the same city i grew up in. I lived in Bulwell when we moved, and i was sick of all the Chavs hanging about on the streets.

Paulus i knew all of the families you mentioned. I lived just round the corner from the Pritchetts, in fact Paul was a good mate of mine born on the same, and same year. I went to school with the Whitby's. I knew the Wilkinsons they used to live on Woodfield Rd, Barry Wilkinson was a mate of my eldest brother Pete. I use to live on Frinton at 171 opposite the Wilsons. I have the same surname of Wilkinson hence the "W". Small world innit. . Bomber Wells was a good mate of mine too.

Hi Guys. I'm back after a long absence because of health. I'm sorry if my exit from the Forum was a bit abrupt but at the time i didn't feel like going into long explanations. Me, and my wife Dawn are moving soon to a brand spanking new flat, two bedrooms, and it's LARGE believe me, we deserve it after what we have been through.
