I enjoyed reading the Posts about H&B. My Grand-dad used to light the work lamps around H&B when I was a kid. I cannot recall why those lamps were used but I felt really important helping Grandad on his rounds.

I like most music except Jazz. I show my age when I say I love to listen to good tenors, Pavarotti, Bocelli, Watson, Frangoulis. I have always like the music of George Michael and Michael Jackson. Controversial to some I know but talent is not lifestyle. What is popular in England right now...

What about the Corrie men? The street has had it's heroe's and villans over the years. When did we have the first villan? Was it when Ernie Bishop was shot or before that. It is amazing how much goes on in one street and has been going on for what45 years?

I have only been here a couple of months and with the time diffrence I do a catch up at night when you are all snoring in your beds. What are petz, what are ackers wot is a bank account. Is there somewhere to read about these things. I do so hate to be the dummy in the bunch,:confused:

LOL oh thos enames zap me back a few years. I disliked Swindley, wanted to throttle him. I can still see prim and proper Emily with her hair up in a French roll. I gained new respect for her when she spent the night in a tree in protest. We are behind you guys with the episodes , we are...

Corrie is the piece of Lancashire that we really enjoy here in Canada. Many times we are really laughing hard at an expression we have not heard in many years. The things you forget when not using is mind boggling. There are times that I just can't hear the Lancs accent in my mind. Then I...

They have thousands of fans over here in Ontario Canada. Corrie is a "do not mess with soap that has been showinf here for about 30 years. Does Church and Ossie really count as Accy born and bred though?? :confused:

I wonder if I knew them. It was a very big first year. I started off in 1b , it was wrong class so was moved to 1c at Christmas i was back up in IB and with one short trip to an A class I was in B all the way to me leaving. I went to St Peters up Willows Lane before that.

Oops sorry I didn't read far enough ahead. Glad you found your cousin Mez

I there is some way we can chat privately I can call your cousin if you give me his phone number or info. I live about 3, 000 mils from there but can call anywhere in Canada for very little. I could give the website information. IF they have a computer.

My Husband is a Stanley Fan. He goes back to Accy almost every year so see his mum. Always goes to the Stanley games. Comes back here yelling his tanley chants and I ignore him :)

Ahh Jolleys was there a long time. I was the in the very First first form St Chris'a ever had, a brand new School when I went. Mr Green, Mr Day? Mrs Richardson, Miss Richards or have I mixed the miss and mrs up? Needlework Mrs Lindsey, I loved that teacher. Oh yes Mr Walker and Mr Smith :(
