The two girls still live out there to this day, one unmarried and one married to a South American guy.
I have a beautiful tray on the wall in this very room my computer is in, which came from Rio de Jan

Re: hello from brazil

Rio and Accy have more in common than you might think....

Every time I've been to Rio (5) it's been coated in minging Accy style drizzle:D

Class A narcotics are easy to find in both locations too. Or so I hear.

That being said I shall not be spending my next hols back in accy but might pop via Rio with the girlfriend (who is from Sao Paolo....)

I too would love to know mroe about Howard & Bulloughs Brazil connections.....

Hi and welcome to the mad world of Accyweb.

Howard and Bolloughs were makers of cotton spinning looms and they got sent all over the world from 1920's to 1990's (correct me please if wrong) but maybe better known as Platt Saco Lowell as it was in the 1970's onwards.

I worked within the factory for 3 years and used to go all it when I was a member of the Internal Fire Service.
