TonyW 0 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi TonyW, glad to hear you're in better health.....................you now need to pick up from where you left off, try to forget the years of pain & struggle. Start on your new life, by telling us where pou were 'brung up' & what are your good memories from the past, forget the 'bad 'uns' they're history, & you've lived throught them. It's a cliche but: Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!...................good luck mate.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyW 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
