[MarkBattersby]

Hi there I worked there for five years of my life served my time as a compositor then went on to sign writing I was there from 69 to 74 is there any one out there in the ether who was working there at the same time as me or even remembers me from the past at Nayler's, I would love to talk !!

I think I knew you before that - before you were a twinkle in your dad's eye, I was a bridesmaid at your mum and dad's wedding.
Is your auntie Valerie still well, and enjoying farm life?

Blast from the past you are !! Oh yes, remember you very well, used to collect your notes every morning to make sure your time was being put to good use ...

Worked in the office from 1959 >> '64 (summat like that anyway). Came back for a couple of years from around '71 >73.

You worked with our Mr. Lloyd in that top right hand corner, can see you now sticking those little letters in the trays.

Don't think this can be correct Margaret .. Mark must be around our age, unless it was in your previouse life..

Sorry, just seen his post .. but don't understand the first bit .. come Mark, own up, how old are you now.?

I was only aged 7 when I was their bridesmaid. There can't be more than one Mark Battersby---- surely?

Well, if you work it out, he was there when I started at 16 1/2 .. he was already there as an apprentice.. so must have been at least 16 himself. He's gone off line now, so will have to wait for his return. Unless his Mum and Dad were married 7 years after his birth... LOL.

Sounds like the right one anyway.

I reckon he is about 10 yrs younger than us Kate - I think you need to start taking Gingko Biloba (and less Bacardi)

Hi Kate I have just found this site pretty good fun I see you now and then around Barnes square and I always remember working at Nayler's and chatting away to you through that little window, you where always philosophical, I don't think any body from there are trying to make contact it should be interesting to see who responds I will work out how to use this site better and see who I can find ...
