More than a coincidence, Rob! :-) I was researching Harold a bit the other week to write that little piece about him and I found this excellent webpage and remembered it from there. Worth a read. Nuncargate - Larwood's Village Here it is. In the rules of the forum I see I now need to ask a further question on a separate thread. Coming up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You Googled the question and I pre-Googled the answer. Not that we needed to for what is a simple question and answer. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think you will find Rob is hinting that he took the address from your web site Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Had a good chat with my brother-in-law about the "Bodyline" series last weekend. He played minor counties cricket so was well versed in the subject. If you show up at the Poacher on March 1st you will probably get to meet him! (We have convinced my sister to drive ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Both you girlies are quite wrong... I was viewing the Ashfield RDC site on a planning permission query, and dropped across it by chance, off a link. Mr G.Oogle not consulted... Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's good to see that the whole world (and Soul quizzes) don't necessarily revolve around that accursed search engine. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
