Cen

I was there between '83 and '88. Wow, weird stumbling across this forum, there's a bit of my childhood online!

I vaguely remember ms. mills, didn't have much to do with her. I was in the 'J's, if you know what I mean.

GTB

Hello, Cen. I think I may know you, didn't you used to live in Warren Crescent in Calne?

Cen

Yes, I spent most of my years at number 32. That's a pretty good guess.

Oh, wait, I put my web site address in my profile! :roll:

What's the protocol on this site? Are we mentioning names, or is there a level of anonymity here? I think I've figured out who the admin is, gh40, should be another Warren Crescent dweller.

GTB

Yep, I lived in Warren Crescent until about 1985. I havn't seen you for quite a few years, Cen. You might recognise another name in the "members welcome" thread. :wink: I'll have to let him know your on here.

Cen

eggy? ah, yes. he came over to australia a few years ago and paid me a visit! good to see him again.

here's a question for you. you remember russel who lived a couple of doors down from the kids home on the corner? do you know what happened to him?

hope the family is doing well mate.

GTB

Cen, Eggy was on here looking for you. I sent him a text to say you are now on here - he has lost your e-mail address.

Russel is still about - and he's still a large lad. :wink: His name was mentioned on here a while back:
