Bromley Message Board: Knowhere Guide

military establishment in Bromley (forget the road) to then attend the newly-built St. George's Primary in Tylney Road, to then go to Quernmore Secondary in London Lane. We emigrated again in January '63. Anybody out there recall me? Me and my brothers were fairly well known in town.

I was friends with 'Mad Jimmy' Duggan, the son of Ted Duggan, the headmaster of Quernmore. Jimmy was a well-known nutter about town, a mercenary by trade and loud with it! Chunky blond-haired guy, always getting into fights, ran everywhere, never walked. I'm not kidding, it was purgatory trying to keep up with him! He drank at The Swan and Mitre, the local gay haunt.

I also knew a lot of medical people, modelling for Harley Street professors up in London, also a bit of real modelling for top photographers (usually testing new film and lighting) and was involved with the Garrick Theatre. I knew a lot of famous people, and people who became famous later. Most are dead by now, of course, but surely not all?

Anyone with any memories of those days is welcome. I'm researching my past and find it hard going after 45 years.

Make A Little Extra Money Online - Free Sites - See My Blog	by jerome sky (Member 10282652) on 5-Feb-2013
FREE PTC SITES (Paid To Click) - MAKE MONEY AT HOME Just like many people nowadays I've been looking for ways to make extra money. Importantly, ways which don't require me to leave the house or think too much. I've come across some poor sites, and some good ones. The sites listed on my blog below won't make you rich, but if you stick with them they will deliver a steady stream of PayPal payment s, Amazon vouchers, cheques and other deals. They are free, and there are no hidden catches. Other sites I've come across have bizarre hidden conditions. Such as, when I've requested payment I've been informed I must 'invest' in their site. Meaning things like I've got to give them £5 to withdrwaw £10! These sites are not that kind of site. They pay in full and on time. SwagBucks is even fun, as they pay you to play games :) Have a look, give them a go, and make some extra money from home...

Whereabouts of Veronica Dodds or Dodd	by mike mcguckian (Member 10252663) on 4-Oct-2010
hi everyone - i hope someone can help me with this query. Way back in 1967/68 i worked for Aer Lingus (Irish International Airlines) in their Great Marlborough St. London offices. Our Supervisor was a Rene Holman and there was a very funny girl called Veronica Dodd or Dodds. We called her Ronnie. I think she told me her father had connections to Portadown in N.Ireland. There was also a girl th ere called Rita Grant who came from Londonderry. I'd love to connect with any of these colleagues from that time before father time calls time on yours truly :) Ronnie used to say she either lived in Bow or Bromley or Bromley by Bow.....Nothing like a wee bit of confusion to help matters eh :) Hoping these few details set some bells ringing in someone's memory. Thanks in advance. ... more >> Reply

Hi, Trying to find info about Sandra Todd who lived in Bromley 1958-62,I know she was possibly with a man named Roy who possibly lived in Hayes Bromley at this time and he was a bit of a Jack the Lad. If anyone knows anything of these people it would be very much appreciated Re: Sandra Todd by RaelTodd (Member 10249706) on 14-Jul-2010 Hi there, my mum was born in August 1965 and her name before she was adopted is Janet Gabrielle TODD - she was born in White Chapel but also on the birth certificate it says something about Bromley. This is the first piece of information I've found online with a woman with the same surname around that time in Bromley! Contact me, raeltodd@msn.com Reply

Looking for a swingers site ?	by Webamster (Member 10230878) on 23-Aug-2008
If you're going to join a site, make sure it's a good one like www.intheknow.org.uk To many sites are either just in it for the money or they are free and don't care who joins as long as they have loads of members. Intheknow is free but you can't just post a profile, all profile have to have a picture of you hold a blank sheet of A4. May sound a bit mad lol but it does stop time wasters and pictur e collectors and only genuine swingers join. ... more >> Reply

Memories of Bromley in the 50-60's	by Sverre Helgesen (Member 10229721) on 29-Jul-2008
I was privileged to have grown up in Bromley (actually Widmore Green) as a lad. Dad was in the elite Norwegian Royal Guards and married a lovely Scottish lass during the war, to return to Oslo after the war a Major and good friend to CP Olav, later the King. We returned to England in '51. Not speaking any English I went to school at The Ol' Tin Hut in Nightingale Lane, then moved to another ex- military establishment in Bromley (forget the road) to then attend the newly-built St. George's Primary in Tylney Road, to then go to Quernmore Secondary in London Lane. We emigrated again in January '63. Anybody out there recall me? Me and my brothers were fairly well known in town. I was friends with 'Mad Jimmy' Duggan, the son of Ted Duggan, the headmaster of Quernmore. Jimmy was a well-known nutter about town, a mercenary by trade and loud with it!
