    Newbridge Crescent, that takes me back I used to live there those flats weren't there then. Are they at the town end, we used to live down the other end by the tennis club - happy days.

    They are at the other end to the tennis club, behind what used to be the Masonic Hall (glad to say it isn't now) and just off the A41. They back onto the hall and the Girls' High School and St Peter's School.


    They were built in the early 1960s, so you must have been gone a long time!

    Our family house is only a few streets away, we didn't sell up when we went to Spain.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I left about 1966 having gone to school and grown up there. I may remember them being built but it was a long time ago.

    Quite right Sue. I can't believe that I have been married for forty years in October and my son is nearly 32!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Where did you go to school?? My son went to St Jude's and then St Peter's.

    We are doing our UK bit at the moment and with the temperatures as they are in Spain I am really glad!
    Good wishes to one and all

    All is well here, ta! Yes, it has been hot, with 40 last weekend. But thank goodness it has cooled down a bit now.
