Wonderful Wendy,I'm putting it on find a grave as we speak.

Hi Sandra, You can almost smell the bread toasting as you snuggled up close to the fire.Oh wonderful days of youth and innocence,and I'm sure you'd love to be back there,just one more time,with those wonderful family members long ago passed on...I know i would.

Thanks Len,I do believe they're selling unpasteurised Guiness over here now from the Dublin brewery.Now if only I wasn't teetotal....

Ah Len,you tempt us with these forbidden fruits,then take them away again lol. Anyway a hearty good morning to you.

Eric the chance to travel back then was fortunate indeed.Most people never got beyond an industrial fortnight in unsunny Breen Sands. So even though you have suffered a sad loss,think of all those wonderful exotic memories you shared together,in a far away paradise,and that at a time when they...

Sure it's an interesting link Len,but alas it doesn't work.:cry:

Re: Mr. Chamberlain The winners always write the history,and Churchill was the winner here,hence Neville gets knocked a lot. Really his actions need to be put in historical perspective.The Great War had been such a catastrophe that many did what they could to avoid war,and indeed he did...

Hi Wendy,I know Key Hill Cemetery has figured here a number of times. Sad though that Find a Grave only has 2 enteries for this place,and Joseph is not one of them.If I had a pic of his gravestone I'd put him in myself. Tim

My grandmother comes from a long line of Botterills. I did have a family tree on the HD of my computer in Ukraine,but unfortunately it was wiped by accident. This family can be traced back to the Leicestershire villages of Kimcote and Walton.There appear to be none left now,probally the...

Hi,never done this before,so please excuse an amateur if I haven't done it right. Clara Millicent Botterill,she'd be only 1 or 2 at this time,and lived in Walton/Kimcote Leicestershire. I'd love an address please,then I could see where she lived as a child.She was my much loved granny...

Personally I put up with him as after a match it was the only way you'd get some info.Like him or not he was there,and often speaking to players etc. Funniest one I remember was interviewing Noel Blake after he'd head butted Steve McMahon of the Villa.Tony asked why did you hit him,and he...

Wasn't he from sparkhill,or sparkbrook?

Bernard,while life was tough it taught a lesson,and it also gave you a major victory,you got through it,and made a better life,off your own bat. Kids these days get it all,and if mum don't give it the social services gives it.But then the problem is that they don't know how to get it...

Yet with all the choices modern science has bought people are less happy. A good example of this is TV,it was better back in the 50s-70s.More money concentrated in only 2 channels. Nowadays the same money has to go round hundreds of channels,and don't forget dvds and the internet as other...

Thanks Eric,do remember hearing about tins of fags.Long gone by my day....of course Hong Kong would have been cheaper for stuff like that,and I bet the food was great.

As you come out of town was it on the left,bordering onto the train line,a few doors before the White Horse Cellars? I do remember it,but can't place the position.

Actually cookie as it's a history forum should have asked you what brands the fags and beer were lol.
