Hi gang, With my newly acquired 2nd hand oldie confuser - (the new XP is still the subject of discontent between us & the retailer!) here's hoping I'm back in the land of cyber friends :>) Thank you so much Helen, Rosemary, Ian & *all other members* (too many to mention) for keeping Banbury list going. For the first time since Sept, this weekend I could actually take a peek at the list archives/web site or use e.mail again. I knew I was missing the list (so did hubby, hence the 'oldie') but surprising just how quick one can become 'out of touch'. Muriel, how's that new grand baby & Ian your new little lady too? None of you ever stop writing your memories - it will be 'our' loss if you do - Smokey/Joe - wish I'd been part of your childhood group I'd loved to have been in 'your adventures' as you tell them :>) Dawn, Muriel & cuz Len, you keep typing, we'll enjoy reading. Rosemary the web site is beyond anything I dreamed of -- thank you so, so much - bless you :>) Helen - all your help stepping in as admin, has been much appreciated by everyone - please stay - we'll miss you if you leave! (I know you like the folks on this list & would miss them anyway :>) SO -- how is everyones research going? Who needs look ups? Any requests? PS (Betty*>) Postcode here is for Somerset - but we are on the Dorset/Somerset border - bit like Banbury, Oxon/N'hants border - but with cider :>) Just have to finish unpacking boxes before we find the 'local' -- or the hair dryer - or the TV control - or the cat!!!!!!!!! Angela :>) list admin with much help from Helen
