What Difference Would Extra Income Make to Your Life ? by David Taylor (Member 10103609) on 31-Dec-2008
Hi

Why not make a new resolution to change your life in 2009. I am looking for people who have experience in the Financial Services, Utilities or Sales Industries. I can offer a good opportunity for those who are prepared to put in effort on a part-time basis with a Footsie 250 Plc company to earn a regular residual income for life.

He never went back to England after that although by his accent he could have been a news reader for ITV or BBC.

Looking for the Mitaux family by Jane Olorenshaw (Member 10231738) on 12-Sep-2008
I grew up in Clapham, South London. My best friend was Leonie Mitaux, who had a brother Paul. The family left London in the late 1950s and were last heard of in Fordingbridge. Leonie and Paul would have been at senior school in the area in about 1962. Does anyone know where they are now?

Burgate School 1960-1964 by pam johnson (nee Horsburgh) (Member 10186375) on 3-Jun-2006
Would like to get in touch with Susan Hall who was at Burgate School, Fordingbridge during the above dates. I was Pam Horsburgh and now Johnson, currently living in Norfolk. Would love to hear from you.

  • Re: Burgate School 1960-1964 by pam johnson (nee Horsburgh) (Member 10186375) on 31-Mar-2007
    I have no idea who you are - perhaps you would be kind enough to identify yourself. It is really sick to put comments such as this on here. Susan was a really nice girl and I don't even remember anything about her dad. I hope she is as disgusted with your comment as I am!

  • Re: Burgate School 1960-1964 by pam johnson (nee Horsburgh) (Member 10186375) on 31-Mar-2007
    Well, I feel a lot better now that I have established that you make a habit of this sick sort of 'communication! Have just read comments you have sent to numerous others - no doubt you know none of them, just like you don't know me. You are disgusting you poor sad person. Get a life - we can do without people like you on this site.

Also looking to provided film shows and access to a local swimming pool which was the favourite in a survey carried out at the local school.

    Hmmm. Seems like you took my advice and visited your doctor Moscowman. You don’t seem to have this complex that everyone is moaning about something. Now, all you have to do is get this fixation with houses cured and you’ll be fine.
