Hi Kingsley, I see from your later post that your dad was called Ragg. Are you of the Ragg family that lived in Hove Rd next to the Kirby family,two sisters Linda & Arlene? NoddKD. (Formerly Bernard Dunn of Circular Rd)

Just finished watching Citizen Smith on Forces TV. I don't find it as funny now as I did all those years ago but still enjoyed seeing it again. NoddKD

I think it would be really wonderful to find who who she was.

Not little old me.:( From Martin's posts I think I arrived at Farm St School as he was leaving. To be honest I can't recall being in a photograph like this at anytime in the school. I vaguely recall photos being taken at some point in the Nativity when I played Joseph! I would like to see THAT...

Possibly ,but no bus depot around the corner.:) NoddKD

Sounds like you lived in Nursery Rd. The left turn would have been into Hunters Road. There was a bridge there;with a clock if I remember correctly. I believe the bus depot was in Heaton Street. NoddKD

Hockley Station to Snow Hill. 3d return. From where I lived in Welsley st walking would have been quicker but not as much fun. Nodd the traveller.;)

My sympathy Lyn. Suffer the same myself. Tried everything, no drinking,no tea,coffee, bed early or late. Even tried natural sleeping aids such as Nytol all to no avail. As you say we have to soldier on.;) Nodd the sleepy.

Hi Lyn, can't think why I didn't know of St George's in Newtown. As a nipper living in Hockley we roamed far and wide in the local area. You would think a school with the same name as one I had attended would stick in the mind. Perhaps I did know at the the time but the woolly memory let me...

The Repair Shop. Their skill and knowledge is awesome. They are also genuinely interested in the history of the object and the people that bring them in. Oddly, when people are reunited with their beautifully repaired item I find I have something in my eye! No idea why. ;)

This pub,Sippers Inn,on Millbay Rd,Pymouth,was built late 70'searly 80's. The bricks were from the slum demolitions of Aston, Birmingham. The place has since been rendered and the brickwork is no longer visible.It is has also been renamed and is now the Salumi bar and Eatery.

I see your point Maurice,as you say this is a history site,however history has to start somewhere. Remember our today is future generations history. I wouldn't like living in one either.:worried: NoddK-D

There is a lady called Sue Woodhull,nee Harris,looking for members of this school in the early 1960s. Her details are in the missing and found section of Saturdays Daily Mail,4,July 2020. There is a list of former pupils that she recalls and would like to get in touch with for her 70th birthday...

Seen in the main gate sentry box at Seaton Barracks,Plymouth. Ring a ring o protons A pocket full of neutrons A fission, a fusion We'll all fall down. Try this. Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get the postman a letter. When she got there,the cupboard was bare so they had it...
