Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Thought I would wish you all a good day. My day is just beginning 9am here, 2pm there. It is a hot sticky day here in Toronto, 32C but closer to 40 with the humidity. Thank goodness for air conditioning. I get the impression that the majority of the folk on this site still live in Accy or areas close by.Things I miss the most, the people, the pubs and steak puddings.:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

good afternoon, my day is just begining too. I've tried to get some work done after getting up an hour ago but the main pc keeps crashing agagin, graphics card still I think. So now I'm on here chatting to accy dwellers, from down at the very centre of england.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Hi,we have good weather today aswell.Its suppose to be a scorcher tomorrow.:) And yes,the majority do live in Accy and the surrounding areas..:) :)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

The weather does seem to have gotten hotter over there, maybe something to do with global warming.The hottest I remember as a kid was the heatwave in 1977 I think that was the year.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yeah,I remember that as a kid to:) .Its about time we had a good summer over here though.We are only used to odd days here & there.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

yep I remember that the quarry was nearly empty of water.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Did you get them mobile water containers and stand pipes like we did around here?

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Was it 77 then? Remember all the adverts about saving water, I think there was even one about not flushing the loo as often.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

can't remember mthead, I was only 6, but I don't think we did.
Amazing how can remember the quarry and the rusty old car being in the bottom to say I was only 6.
It was really bad though wasn't it, Nowdays we have a week of sun and they think thats a drought. Same with the snow and cold wheather, one day of snow gone the next, but it's caused havock.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes '77.I can remember it fairly well I was 11.:o Like I said couldnt use taps.Had to get water from stand pipes and them trailer water containers.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I was 12 and remember being outside playing till late as it was to hot inside. Memories! British bulldog, arrows and kerby. Loved it.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

British Bulldog and Arrows,now that brings back memories.I take it your version of arrows ws the same as ours?where you made your own arrow with a piece of dowl and flights made out of an old playing card?Playing Bulldog nowadays you would get all the kids parents arguing that ther little John has been hurt with the others little Pete.Not heard of that game being played for years......:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I was crap at bulldog lol but i still tried.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I wasn't brilliant at it Hatter.It was always the really big lads that was the worst to catch.I think the rest of us clung together like a school of fish,the safety in numbers thing.:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

If we were lucky and I mean lucky you had chalk to play arrows if not lollipop sticks were good. I can't remember the name of the game where someone would be in the middle of the road and shout port or starboard and you had to get to the other side. I am sure there was other ones as well. My all time favourite was ralleyo, spent many night running around Trinity st in Ossy playing that one.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

we played that port starboard thing at cubs.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Ralleyo is that a type of hide and seek but in bigger numbers?I see your from Ossy I was brought up on Rhyddings st.Small world:D

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes, many happy memories of Ossy. It has changed so much now though, I do enjoy going to Ossy mills when I am home. I went to St mary's and then onto Holy family. Yes ralleyo was a variation of hide and seek.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Wouldn't be surprised if we know each other.I went to St.Mary's to.But went to St.Mary's College after.Did you ever build the carts aswell with old bits of wood and pram wheels?:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Oh yes now that bring back memories. We must have been in the same year at St Mary;s reading your proflie. You must have been one of the clever ones who passed their 11 +.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yeah possibly,Cleverer ones????I hated going there always wished Id gone to Holy Family myself,all my good mates went there.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes I didn't try at the 11+, my brother and sister were already at Holy Family so I wanted to go there. Did you used to go to the New Era disco on a Wed night, I used to live for that.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yeah used to go there with mates from Holy Family,St Mary's College & a few from Rhyddings.You've got me trying to guess who you are now from St.Mary's junior school.Its really strange on here only found out one of my old mates from years ago is on here and been on for ages.Where you the same year as Hughesie and Fegs.Im using nicknames i dont know if your supposed to use peoples names thats not on here?

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes I was. One of my good friends bought the farm were Fegs used to live.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

New to this. Send me a private message, hopefully I should be able to respond and all will be revealed.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Then yes you were the same year as me.My first names Ian does that ring any bells with you?and my surname same as Paul that was in our year that went to Holy Family.:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes I know you now, we sat next to each other at St Marys in Mr Murphy's class. Small world.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I take it your fist name might be Helen? If it is yes it is very small world...:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

we were the smallest in the class so always at the front.I guess I just lost my anonymity on this site.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

So who knew a post saying good morning to you all would lead up to chatting with an old school pal. I guess it has been a good day.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes I'll second that.These PC make the world much smaller.....:)

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I went to St Marys and onto the Holy Family, Left St Marys in 59 and left Holy Family in 1962. I started at Holy Family in 3A that was the first intake, when were you there Magily

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I was at St Mary's from 72 -77 and then Holy Family from 77-82.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Hi Magily
I'm in Montreal, and its the same temp here. god I hate it sometimes.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Yes I agree it does get to much. I thing us Lancashire lassies are just not used to such hot temperatures. Read your bio sorry to hear about your Dad,it is very hard being so far away when it comes to family.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Oh my god, this sites fantastic, it's happened again. should call it friends reunited.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

I went to St Mary's but I think I would have been in the year above you because I'm 41 now.

Re: Good morning or should I say good afternoon.
 

Gayle you would have been in my sister's year, did you go to Paddock or Holy family?
