Marged if you like dry crispy bacon put it in the microwave on a plastic tray or one of those special toast rack things and full power it for 2 minutes. DE-licious.

Hi All, Just been visiting one of the sites Marion sent and it mentioned the Ill fated Sid James. Now we all remember him don't we? Very funny man but why ill fated? We don't get much Pomme news here and I am missing so much. I wish someone would do a show about "What ever happened to.........." Beautiful sunshine today, up to nearly 30C and the Aussies have just whipped the Windies in less that 50 overs, all out for 82. Gee I luv summer......... Take care, ttfn, Trish, ex Hull lass, Central Coast of NSW, Oz where it's wet, humid, miserable, windy and this is nearly summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talking about the date My computer clock seems to be behaving itself since I re-installed WINDOWS. Now there's a thing.

I believe there is a way to stop the automatic dialing up. If you are interested, let me know, and I will try to run down the information. I am pretty sure I know where to find it. Glenda

Thanks for the reply, Carl, I didn't know that, I always thought Appleton Thorne was a prison near Appleton. Now I see it on the map it makes things even more complicated. Are there any old maps of Cheshire that might show where Littlemoor Row was or is? Can anyone on the list help? My Grandfather Fred BRAMHALL is shown here in 1881. It simply says, "Littlemoor Row, Appleton, CHE."

Yes, Marj, She's one of the few people in my life who I have a great respect for. She has been disabled most of her life and her own family ignore her most times and now she's stuck in a wheel chair after several strokes brought on by the granddaughter she brought up, refusing to hang out some washing. Some people make me SICK they are so selfish but it also makes me very grateful not to be in worse healh that I am and stops me whinging [most times]. Her own son got into so much debt he had to sell his house and when he got a council house GIVEN to him he emptied hers of furniture and left her with very little. Even took the adapted car with him. Yes, I have a lot of time for that lady. I just wish I lived nearer. Sorry to go on but I feel better now, thank you.
