jags is goin nowhere- hes a true blade!!--by the way who's this new premier league ace called err--david graham who wednesday have signed--is he the same bloke who played the main dalek in the dr who series?--rumour has it he struggled to get in the latics reserve side:)

hi, i wonder if anyone can help me?i have twin cousins called joan & helen who used to live at number 10 ribble way at firth park.they moved to australia in the 70s(i think)and ive heard nothing from them since,theyre both married and i think they have children now.i would love to get in touch with them and am hoping someone out there knows there wherabouts! i think they live in newcastle,queensland? also they have a younger sister called lynne who i think lives in nottingham somewhere(id love to hear from her also!) there maiden name is beckett:) i would be most grateful for any help:)

err yes!!!

spyro2000, i was talking about the drivers in general not just about old people!!!---there attitude stinks most of the time and i think most people would agree!!

hi, what is your opinion regarding mainline bus drivers?--i find them on the whole to be a set of arrogant unhelpful little hitlers!!---while they treat the paying customers like dirt! i have had two rows with two different drivers this afternoon(i myself am a placid person but i really lost it this afternoon and gave both drivers a piece of my mind!!) there are the odd decent ones but they are few and far between!--one of the worst stunts these so called dedicated helpful people pulled was in charging an elderly woman full fare when anyone could see she was in her late 70s to early 80s!---this action was taken because the poor old lady had misplaced her pass!--i could write a book about what ive witnessed over the years on mainline transpoert!--as for the terrier drivers they are kind ,considerate and always helpful oh and yes they know how to smile.i would love to hear other views on this subject.

its got to be beckham!!--he's devoid of talent and how he has become a style guru heaven knows!! i ws brought up on players such as stan matthews,tom finney,jimmy greaves,denis law and george best to name few!! he can't hold a candle to any of them and i get sick of seeing his ugly face plastered all over the tabloids and not to mention miss piggys!!--give me mel c anyday!! mind you the other guy was right about carlton palmer--what a prat!!

hi, talking bout the shops at firth park shopping centre --does anyone remember the mikado drinks shop? i think it was where the cheap booze place is just down from the trustees bank on stubbin lane. it was brilliant!!!-i remember going in with my brother and sister with mum for a drink of hot peppermint cordial in the winter and refreshing sasparella in summer! it was run by two lovely old ladies and we also used to buy the old chix bubblegum football cards from there--always hoping that one day we'd find a united or wednesday player amongst them!!. i remember it still being there in the early sixties and it was one of my favourite shops eva!! i also used to get 2lb of potatoes every saturday morning from greens the grocers just a few shops down--mr green used to fill my mums bucket bag with the afore mentioned vegies. i seem to remember he was related to mr smith who ran the grocers shop on bellhouse for years until retiring a short time ago.

kenyons toy shop-remember it well but cant pinpoint the exact spot.-i think its where the travel agents is now which is near rons card shop in the middle of bellhouse road at firth park.there was also another ace toy shop run by mrs seymour on stubbin lane.no need to go shopping up town in those days!! the barbers shop still stands just past rons who used to work there cutting hair years ago--it used to be called the paragon barbers now known as graemes. not much else left though now its really gone downhill as a shopping centre. wile i think on does anyone remember allens cycle shop next to the old post office round the corner at the bottom of the rounabout on firth park road?

HI,does anyone have memories of hinde house school 1960-64?--i stated in mrs haighs class,she was a right cow!!--other nasty teachers were mr.ward(technical drawing),mrs nicel(craft)lovely looking but a right cow!!--miss(thick neck)smith(music) and the notorious ridgeway & napier!! the good ones were mrs turner(history)-gorgeous!!--mr turner(maths,i think)-miss pollard(english),and a few more i can name who were real good.
