Sincere apologies for not showing up on Saturday. Sounds like I was the reason a few of you had to hang around in the pub and have another pint! I was left "holding the baby" and couldn't visit either the pub or the food festival with a 3 year old grandchild who had been throwing up all week...

Smoking lounge or holding cell -what a choice. I have been a member for 3 years but don't get chance to post often. I usually only have time for a quick browse.

I won't have any money left for a round after buying venison burgers! Is the red haired Scottish lady (can't remember her name) still landlady or does it have a quick turnover like most pubs these days?

Might pop in on Sat.then as I will be in town for the food festival.

Do you still meet in Sidney St. I need someone to verify who I am and hopefully a few people that go in will remember me.

I know there used to be monthly meetings for members, do they still happen and if so when and where is the next one?

Have you looked at the questionair Retlaw? Mary is not pretending to be an expert but simply asking for peoples opinion. We are all grateful for your hard work researching the Pals. Information you gave re. Frank and Matthew Fawcett helped me greatly with my family tree last year. Belated thanks.:o

I have answered the questionair and am wondering why Retlaw seems so offended. The only problem I have is that someone at university is so bad at spelling and grammar.

Urban retreat hairdressers has been closed for a while. It is now a home care agency. It was the bike shop for many years,can't remember the name but remember buying my sons 1st bike from there. The phone booth was vandalised so many times it has been removed but the old post box is still on the...

Thanks Mick, have sold Amiga on Ebay but cheeky guy says he needs to pay his car insurance and MOT so will I wait for payment. I might have to withdraw it so will let you know if its still for sale. It has been upgraded.

Ebay is a four letter word to some people. Mentioned it to the guy who sells ex-army stuff on Whalley Rd and thought he was going to throw me out of the shop;)

Thanks for answers. On the "popular auction site" they can bring £160 + if upgraded and in original box. I will have to get it checked out somewhere.

I have an Amiga 1200 for sale which used to be my dad's. Trouble is I don't know anything about it and prospective buyers keep asking questions ie. does it have upgraded ram, does it have an accelerator board. They may as well be talking a foreign language. Does anyone on here know about Amiga...

Anyone having a bonfire this weekend. I have some wood if anyone would like to pick it up from Whalley Rd/hospital area. Know from past experience that I am not allowed even a small fire in back street. Fireman arrived and put out my "out of control" fire with one stamp of his foot!!

Used to deal with J&R Gas when I had a pub. Sure they will help or be able to suggest someone else as their bottles may be too big for you.
