NATO is not a world police force; but it keeps getting members closer and closer to Russia . This is what Putin is afraid of . he doesn't trust the west . Ukraine is not a member of NATO ; he has invaded that country before it can join ;like Latvia and lithuania. If NATO did intervene we would surely have Nuclear weapons involved at some point ; and the thought of this is too horrible to think about . remember M.A.D. MUTUAL ASSURED DISTRUCTION..

I'm sure the Calvert brothers used to go and drink in the golden ball on Darnall main road..

There was no co-op near us but I'm wondering if the person who gave you a lift was Mr. Greenwood who had a sweet shop further down the road and I think he had a car ; not sure though. How is Elizabeth .

My grandmother lived 2 doors away from you , in the same yard. their name was Overall . My name is dave newton and I lived on Coleridge rd. between Fitzmaurice and Jubilee rd. I remember you and your sister , I think you both had blonde hair. I'm 76 now. And I can remember one of you saying you were emigrating . In the same yard were the Hancocks, Overalls , Swains I think and and you the Corkers , Nice to hear from you .

Was your maiden name corker. because I lived at the bottom of that road , and there was a family who emigrated to New Zealand and they had 2 daughters.

What was your father's name; I worked as a centreless grinder from 1972 - 1989.
