Bugsy Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 [quote user="Puzzled"]That is spooky, I know Gt Wyrley School very well ( it is a Performing Arts school now!) I don't know how old you are but do you remember Mr Miller or Mr Featherstone?[/quote]That could be where I learned to dance then..............[:)]To answer your question 'P', I am quite old and I have no recollection of either of those two teachers. I remember a Miss Cross though, and she was, most of the time.............................[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socket Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ref . The rideout today Sunday 4th It was nice to have meet the other three bikers, and hope you all arrived back safely to a nice warm kitchen . I don't know about the rest of you , but i was really impressed with Cannock, didn't realise it was a seaside place . It reminded my alot of La Rochelle , a good case for twinning , what do you think ? Regards socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Just spent a day driving an old steam locomotive on the Chasewater Light Railway (my prospective son-in-law is the motive power director ). It was my first go on the footplate and I did really well, so should I change my name to "Casey Jones"?Frying bacon and eggs on the shovel in the firebox for breakfast - thinking of you lot riding in the cold.....[:P]Hope you all had a great day....
