I thought you would remember geordie mullen he had a sister and b 2 brothers at joes kathleen,mick and tony.he was always with us and deka carr,billy pigg,terry sproats,john garbut and kevin devine.There was also the bolton bro,s brian and terry twins but easy to tell apart.
I bet you remember little tuby patrick smith no relation to veronica though then there was john curran one of our teachers nephews.
I saw your carol today and she was asking after you i told her about hospital appointment and what happend so she sends her regards and hope they find out what is wrong with you,she mentioned your snowy and said he is her postman but never speaks to her infact him and his wife ignore her so she said you arent the only one,she said he speaks to her mam and dad though and she like you hasnt done anything to him.
She also said to tell you not to loose anysleep about it because she hasnt pluss he isnt worth it,i could tell she ment it.

Hi Jim, I remember Deka Carr, Billy Pigg, Terry Sproats (wasn't he nicknamed Spuggy???), and kevin devine. I didn't knock around with them though, the only one from the ones you mentioned I was mates with was Patrick (Crisps) Smith. John Curran I also remember ... he went on to have his own small antique shop in Sunderland. The Bolton twins used to knock about with John Hodgson. Miss Curran the school teacher taught English and Music ... I sold her a cat when I was in my 3rd year LOL.

It must be old age Ray,i was talking to another of our old school boys today i have,nt seen him for a few years.See if you remember him Terry pemberton he hasnt changed that much.
I offten see julie smith around the harbour but not many others.Everybody seems to have fanished or they have changed that much i have also seen sally jones but if she hadnt spoke to me i wouldnt of know her she has like all of us gained a few pounds.Did i tell you her brother married my cousin so she is distantly related.

I remember the name Terry Pemberton Jim, but I don't remember the two ladies you mentioned. I do remember Irene Bruce cos I had 'the hots' for her, and June Brown and Sandra Wilson. but that I'm afraid is about it. As you know I kept me head down when I was at school.

Julie lived at the bottom of fern crescent tall dark haired girl she was younger than us.I remember irene and sandra willson,i can also remember june brown.what about veronica smith and kathleen maraty.There was also janette cleary and glynis her sister.

I have put picture of dalton le dale in gallery from a few years ago.The last time i drove along there it has changed a lot the drinking hole has gone so has most of park.
Yet the pub is still there the "The Times Inn" you must remember that Ray,infact it is one of the beer holes that is doing well most of others have closed or gone private.
One of your old schools is now residential home my uncle lives there it started out as mary mags and old police station.I remember been questioned there about something that happend at your flat,i still remember what the cop said to me.
