Hi My name is Rod Taylor. Used to live in Rocklands Ave, by the Oval and then Bickerton Ave, off Kings Lane. Went to Grove St, Calday Grammar and worked at Girlings, Laird Shiprepair, and a few others! Was at Quaintways for many years, booking the bands. Used to look after a band in Bebington, called Kaspers Engine. Nickname at school was "Codge". Re: Bebington Old Boy looking for by john formston (Member 10247913) on 2-Nov-2010 Hi. Kaspers engine used a fire engine I think? Norman Yardley was the lead singer (my brother in law) He has his own pad in Higher Bebington, drinks at the Travellers Rest very late every night. Still does a bit of impromptu stuff I think. Reply

I lived three doors down from Jean Berry. We still keep in close touch and speak most days. I told her about your message last night and she has asked me to reply to you. Unfortunately she does not have an email address. She said to let you know that she is very well. She is married and has 1 son and lives in Bromborough.

I'm married and live in New Zealand now. Was over a couple of years ago and regret not catching up with Jean but i had no way of knowing where she was.I would be pleased if you could email me and let her know I only have fond memories of her.

I am still living in Bebington up near The George. Jean was thrilled to hear from you. It's funny, because she was only talking about you a few weeks ago. Apparently her cousin had been talking to Gary Spencer and I think he had mentioned your name. Didn't Malcolm Threadgill, and the Myers family emigrate to NZ. We knew that you had re-married but weren't too sure where you were. Jean asks if you have a family over in NZ. I am in touch with quite a lot of folk from the Brackenwood mainly due to living near to the British Legion. Di Green (as was) is the Steward there. It is frequented by John and Cath Darlington, Hilary Williams, Micky Hill, doubtless you also remember these old friends. Is there any other message I can pass to Jean. We speak to each other every day and usually go out for a meal once a month. I am sure she would love to hear what you are up to. Keep in touch Love Jean ... more >> Re: Lost a good friend by john formston (Member 10247913) on 29-Jul-2011 Hi Jean, Thanks for taking the time to reply,what a good friend Jean has in you. I had a wonderful child hood. We never had alot but it matter. Funny enough I found Gary while looking for Jean on the nowwhere guide. I've been trying to ring him but because he's retired now he's probably gadding about.I will catch up with him soon! Didn't know Malcolm threadgill had moved over here or the Myers. Emma my eldest lives the bottom of Higher beb road,my twins Suzie and Sally live Kinds road and Asterfield Cath's boy David lives in South molten Devon. They,ve all been out when we lived on the South Island. we recently moved to Auckland (the North Island). we are 500m from the beach in a place called Maraetai,which means "meeting place by the sea" So as they say "life is a beach" I remember so many of my childhood/teen friends,the Bracky was just the best place for kids and teens.I should have told Jean how much I thought of her,but I didn't. If I win Lotto maybe I will take you both out for dinner.for a good old catchup. Ijust had a flash back to when I started working shift work at Capenhurst.I used to get a lift of a man who lived by you,he had a Volkswagon Beatle, who would that be??? Use my email address johnfnz@gmail.com if you prefare Jean I remember all the people you meantioned and so many more. Bye for now.I'm so happy about this.JohnX ... more >> Reply

Funny as anything. All sorts of randoms on it It's basically a landline telephone number you can ring. 0870 755 0872. Where you get put into a waiting facility, it then connects you to another caller, you say hello, and they can choose whether to talk to you, or put you back in the queue because they don't like the sound of you or whatever hahaha. Like a chat room with a private chat facility, but in phone terms? and it's free if you are BT Home user (as calls to 0870 numbers now free) The number is 0870 755 0872 ... more >> Reply
