Hi Barbara

Yes I do remember your name. I went to Ashwell Street Junior School. Mrs Groves was my teacher. Then moved to on to Chandos. Yes I remember the Parnhams, and Pete Rippon. Also remember the Shuttleworth family . I bump into Pete Shuttleworth every now and again and see his Brother Rodney quite often as he works at B&Q in the kitchen department !! There was also a girl that lived opposite the Parnhams called Judith Oliver, I think. Also Ronnie Bee and his brother lived at the other end of Godfrey Street. Remember the chippy at the end of Deabill Street ? my mate Neil ( Chippo ) Goulding used to live there ...Who did you get married to? What school did he go to ? You never know we might know each other ! Anyway let me know if you hear from Stephen or Marzipan won't you

Cheers

I remember Fez from GAY cafe days, which wasn't a cafe it was a youth club and the GAY was a complete misnomer as it was run by a charity under the banner of the Guild of Abstainant Youth (G.A.Y.) which was run by Harold Finch who's day job was if I remember correctly was road safety officer with the County Council.

Can remember Steve breaking down with his Norton on the M6 and he blagged a lift to St Helens with a tyre breakdown truck.

And the masterplan to recover the bike was for us to go up to St Helens in my minivan.

It was a bit of a struggle but by taking the front passenger seat out and the front wheel of the bike we got it in, the passenger seat was put to use for Fez to sit on cramped up in the back of the van, it was my van so I got the drivers seat!.

After this he owned an Ariel Square 4. I cannot remember what bike he had when he had the argument with the Hoveringham Gravels lorry on the bridge in Netherfield.

Barbara I also lived on Cavendish, I think Ray had a Grieves bike then, and I worked in the drawing office at Darnells.

Hi, yes I lived next door to George Brown and 3 doors up from Marina and Rita Hand.

My name is Dave Goode and I survived Kaths canteen food at Darnells.

You lived just about three houses away from my uncle George Hill I think.

Never passed my test on a bike back then, had a tiger cub and a 650 AJS with a double adult sidecar.

Just about to retire so have done my CBT and theory test and bought a little Yamaha to play on and hopefully pass my test so I can get something like an old Triumph 350 twin to potter about on.

I have been driving buses for the past 8 years and they are a lot less scarier than the Yamaha!
