Topgrounder 9 #26 Posted April 6 Oh, yes. Lots of fine wood. They didn't use melamine in them days! And old Wesley was a great one for the Bible. Not as many reading it now though, but our Ada always does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She accepted and gave everyone a wave. 15 hours ago, Topgrounder said: I thought I'd seen it all when they vaporized the Methodist Temple opposite the Gamble. Yes that was a shame, I remember passing by it every day when I used to work at the Prov. Was it this one you meant?

Topgrounder 9 #29 Posted Wednesday at 17:59 That was the very Methodist shrine I was talking about. Also, thanks, Phyll, for your kind comment. I'm very happy you've allowed me into the group. added 4 minutes later Jimmy Hand was a lovely fellow. He always signed my passport applications for me up at his house in Downs Road. My family was Labour and Jimmy was a Conservative, but we all respected him a lot. He'd worked his way up. He never forgot where he came from and he was unfailingly kind and generous - a true servant of the people. We need more like Jimmy in office today. By the way, your story about your mum's regal wave from the mayor's car really tickled me! 😄Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
