Does this mean we have to close the forum down then

Good to have an opinion from outside of Northern Ireland. 

I agree. There's nothing like objectivity. 

Remember a story about 141 where when rent was demanded old Mrs Ralph used to respond with the cry from the collector "Rent " she would reply "Spent"and I remember a Mr Allen who used to collect insurance money.  Wore a distinctive insurance outfit e.g. shirt tie raincoat and very 50s  hat. Have vague memories of street parties but what we celebrating remains obscure. Think that there was a lot of street competition between kids from local area e.g. lots of yard brush waving at each other. But best of all is is the memories of kids games where it was a question of for girls skipping songs (sometimes boys joined in) Hi lo dolly pepper etc. We had KDRF kick door run fast and kick the can (popular now politically) and favourite was scotch where you threw a tennis ball at each other in a game of tag. Not many street games played today.

pointless discussing this topic               there has been a clean sweep of many posts       

some of which were quite interesting          .   

100% correct Dot, they didn,t suit the narrative as someone said "they don,t like it up em" No 787 sets the standard
Seems whoever runs this forum are doing their best to dissuade any discussion , suits me.

Hi there Wilma! I just noticed your post, a blast from the past 😁. You probably remember me, I lived across from you in Orby Road and was your sister's best friend. How is Lorraine doing?
