Hi Phil & all No, we are never bored or uninterested or unwilling to help. Comes down to folk have to request or make known what their interests are & be as informative as they can in giving leads for others to chase - BEFORE - many helpful folks on this list can try to find answers - & if possible they will always provide that help & more. If folk lurk, stay quiet & don't ask, how can others ever help?? When no specific requests for look ups or help are received by list, as admin of Banbury, I'm happy on this RW list for folks to stay in touch as friends & share whatever else holds meaning for them. I know not many other RW lists allow that - their loss our gain! Possibly why we have the biggest bunch of friendly chatterboxes within the gene world & I wouldn't want to loose any of them *>) Now your TRUSS family Phil, any connection to TRUSS the fishmongers/grocer that used to have a shop in Banbury High St? I remember catching the bus from Milcombe to go shopping with my gran on market day (Thursday - I also remember I 'always' got told off in Truss's :>( Well they had this big shiny low counter, provided for women to slide their shopping basket along with ease - I suppose the easier it moved the more one would fill it with goods!? But to a naughty (I'm told!) 5 yr old, an 18 inch wide by 15 ft long slab of shiny stainless steel was a slide made in heaven ! Won't elaborate on the consequences of my 'daring feats' - other than to say I had to 'stand outside & wait' for months after an employee hijacked my best slide attempt by placing a tray of fresh/expensive Haddock at my exit point!!

Angela... The One that Got Away Maybe.??? My Dad never passed ' Truss Fishmoner & Grocer' without wanting "Kippers" - Kippers and Dough Cake...his shopping list... Now there's a combination...? . Which brings to mind.!....... When i came to Australia.. 'After the Convict era ..IAN' *>)~ My, M.in.L.... thought she was doing something *nice.???(her words) for me.. On the stove, bubbling away was an awful looking mess with an odd smell ; not yet used to Aussie customs.....I was reluctant to ask ...however, my sleuth habits came to the and after a sneak peep... .it didn't look like anything I had ever seen...? to my amazement she said she was cooking *kippers. I had heard about boiling a 'Billy'. but i thought they only boiled that, "Camped by a Billabong.".. We live and learn.... Mind you she never really forgave me for kidnapping her son.... and often wonder if that was a first attempt to make me want to go back home...!!! ... and NO i didn't even taste the kippers...!!** but, at this moments my taste buds are working overtime...:-( betty . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angela Allen" <angela.allen72@btinternet.com> To: <ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 7:09 AM Subject: [BAN] TRUSS & Ban List requests > Hi Phil & all > No, we are never bored or uninterested or unwilling to help. > > Comes down to folk have to request or make known what their > interests are & be as informative as they can in giving leads for > others to chase - BEFORE - many helpful folks on this list can > try to find answers - & if possible they will always provide that > help & more. > > If folk lurk, stay quiet & don't ask, how can others ever help?? > > When no specific requests for look ups or help are received by list, > as admin of Banbury, I'm happy on this RW list for folks to stay in > touch as friends & share whatever else holds meaning for them. > I know not many other RW lists allow that - their loss our gain! > > Possibly why we have the biggest bunch of friendly chatterboxes > within the gene world & I wouldn't want to loose any of them *>) > > Now your TRUSS family Phil, any connection to TRUSS the > fishmongers/grocer that used to have a shop in Banbury High St? > I remember catching the bus from Milcombe to go shopping > with my gran on market day (Thursday - I also remember I > 'always' got told off in Truss's :>( > > Well they had this big shiny low counter, provided for women > to slide their shopping basket along with ease - I suppose the easier > it moved the more one would fill it with goods!? > But to a naughty (I'm told!) 5 yr old, an 18 inch wide by 15 ft long > slab of shiny stainless steel was a slide made in heaven ! > > Won't elaborate on the consequences of my 'daring feats' - other > than to say I had to 'stand outside & wait' for months after an > employee hijacked my best slide attempt by placing a tray of > fresh/expensive Haddock at my exit point!! > > Angela:>) > Admin Banbury list > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Phil Lamb" <pjlamb@btinternet.com> > To: <ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 7:18 PM > Subject: [BAN] Interests - TRUSS > > >> I hope no one gets bored with reading about my interests.
