I was BORN in Bolton...

school trips to Ossy?

(I used to play in the overflow pipes in the reservoirs by the whippet tracks...)

When I was a kid they had a carnival in Ossy. They called it OSSYGOGAYDAY...

bet they didn't keep it up...

No way, bleedin 'ell .............all the best people come from Bolton, I love Bolton and vowed I'd move back there one day, *sighs nostalgically*,, my Dad lived in Farnworth, no-one has heard of Farnworth but everyone knows Bolton.;):D

I have! I lived in Halliwell. Still have family there...Kenyon...

I actually left at 18 months but went back frequently to visit relations.

Now I just tell folk I come from the same place as a certain P. Kay... and I used to impress people with my 'impression' of Bubble (Jane Horrocks) from Absolutely Fabulous..well all I did was revert to the accent of my youth;)

I went on a food tasting a few weeks back. I had to test 'Uncle Joe's Mint Balls'...Wigan's finest...

and I have brought up two kids who are mad keen on sarsaparilla tablets...:rotfl:

Off to bed now so g'night all and sweet dreams. Last night's dream had AnWsMum and SSS working together... I was a customer :rotfl:

:eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:even W has better dreams than that! Ask him if he had a nice dream and he will tell you that he dreamt of trains

Anyway I thought you were off to bed an hour ago! Or was it the prospect of dreaming about me again has kept you awake :rotfl::rotfl:

Valli I think my inability to do cryptic clues has a lot to do with my level of commitment! ie: I'm not committed at all!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well judging by the posts of you all this evening I think you should all be committed! :rolleyes::D

Steam or diesel?

I like Deltics, me! But there's a certain aroma to a Puffing Billy...

ETA Triker's got me reminiscing...we were neighbours, almost...

AnW'sMum

lol Steamies of course are his first love but he does like the odd diesel as well

You can't come to Hull because it's a secret, lovely place that we tell the world is terrible so people don't come and spoil it's unreconstructed working class ness.;)

I'm a lancashire girl meself but I love it here well, 'cept for the lack of hills........that really confuses me, I'm used to the calm presence of the Pennines surrounding me, but the chippy's are great.:rotfl:, gravy............not as good as lancashire gravy......this is the stuff that empires are built on I tell ya.;):D

the hull gravy is just sludge... thick glooby stuff with no added 'bits'

Blooming foreigners invading my city of culture.. From lancashire of all the dirty places lol...

AnW'sMum

He saw Father Christmas today at the the Christmas Fair and when asked what he wanted he said a train set. He came out and unwrapped his present to find a Scooby Doo pencil case with bits n bobs to go inside, he was NOT impressed! So much so that he burst into tears saying 'I wanted a train set'. Would not be consoled at all and he and Miss A were first kids in to see FC!

Oh yeah and he knew that it wasn't the real FC and was telling me this as I was bundling him out the door before the other kids could hear :rotfl:
