    do it spudly....I didn't recognise my dad either:o

    I've never met him due to family fallings out before I was born. He apparently came to my dad's funeral, but never spoke to me or my mum. He was much younger than my dad, so he's probably 50ish now.

    Not sure I'd know what to do with family any more - it's been a very long time. I do watch Heir Hunters every morning and get really jealous at people finding long lost family :o

    OK, you're duly adopted, but we live so far apart :rolleyes:

    We havent had any family for many years. Havent been out as a couple for around 10 years or so. DH has a mum less than a mile away, but we dont speak, she hasnt even got our phone number.

    If you ever come and visit your Manc brother, give me a shout :D
