Can you find a word to rhyme that we can put on this site for all .time. It dunt have to be pretty it dunt have to be neat owt at all would be a feat As you can see i am no bard so follow me it isnt hard. Let them tease let them mock the fact you can nearly write will be a shock. Cos medders born medders bred strong in the arm nowt in the head. But bigger hearts you would not find thats what mecks nottm folk so very kind .Dont be dotty dont be rude we will all be barred if this gets crude .I am finished so over to you stop mocking me lets see what you can do .

[Before we are all dead and gone]

Alisoncc do you have any more damp old photos of meadows if you do please show.What makes this site so good is that no matter how good you think your memory is someone produces information or photos to remind you that only a fraction is retained. Incidently did the shop at side of the school have a old game machine that fired small ball bearings when you attended there .

[Before we are all dead and gone]
