OLGA. Hello Pat and thanks for your kind words. I remember your Mam working in the chippy and always expressed my undying love for her daughter but it made no difference, I still had to pay for my chips.

Olga and Prince Fabian: was that a reference to our early attempts at amature dramatics?

I'l try and get to Hutcliffe Wood and will get in touch with Roy too.

Hi Ralph

I haven't been on the Forum for a while - could you slow down a bit so I can catch up? Some of your posts are hilarious, thanks for a good laugh! I think you know who I am so I'll post a little bit about the Gills.

 

The Gill family lived in Botham Street next to Enzer's fish and chip saloon (!!!) and Alice worked in the shop. Mr Gill was at Dunkirk and wounded in the war - quite a few brave ex soldiers around where I grew up there! There were 3 of us - Pat, George and Norman. G and N were boxers - George was always fighting Roy Butler. He was like Cool Hand Luke - he didn't know when he was beaten and Roy always won! Norman and John Butler would have to break them up. Dad's brother lived on Botham Terrace - Uncle Ernest (cousin Peter Gill and Auntie Dot). The Oakdens (Dad's sister) and Spicks - Maureen and Roger - were cousins. Great Uncle Jack Sedgewick lived in the next yard (what a rogue, he would pin pound notes to his clothes and walk across to the outside lav, driving his neighbour crazy!).

 

I wanted to remind you all that I have arranged an interment of ashes ceremony for George at Hutcliffe Wood Gardens of Rememberance at 11.30 on Saturday 14th May. It is a short graveside service but afterwards we have arranged a buffet in the Executive Lounge at the Beauchief (don't worry I checked, they let in people from Grimesthorpe - only kidding). Any Grimesthorpians who knew George are welcome - I would love it if Roy could pop in!

 

That's all for now except for a message for Vicky Walshaw. I wonder if she remembers going on my paper round with me - I always shared my tips on Saturday with her! Beautiful child she was!

 

Best wishes

 

Olga

I will ask our Vicky when I see her, she was 60 on last week. I remember the chip shop they used to let me sit behind the counter and sing nellie the elephant to me. Kevin

No. I'm Val. I lived 3 doors below DOMMI. Were you a page boy to a Sunday School Queen?
