My apologies to those few that did reply to my initial email; I did not state my name, it is David Noad (rapidly approaching 50 this month) and having a younger brother Mark (aged 46).
If by any chance these names ring a bell, please drop me a line on here. It is no doubt a slim chance as we were both removed from Ossy in May 1972, as our Dad took up employment on the other side of the Pennines. Can you guess how welcome them Yorkies made us feel coming from the right side of the hills!! I wonder how things would have turned out if I had continued to live in Lancs

??
I'm still a staunch Northerner, proud of being Lancastrian and still support Man U. I also continue to hunt down saspirilla tablets, Hollands pies and Lions sports mix - so you see, it's in my blood.
Regards to all,
Dave Noad.
