Welcome messagesThank you for your warm greetings. Congratulations to Local Lass on your very recent promotion to Sergeant. When I looked at 5 PM you were still a corporal.
Having seen some of your earlier postings you seem to be very knowledgeable about websites, forums etc. and you all seem to me to be at the lower end of the age scale.
I come from closer to the other extreme. Old enough to know better but seldom do. It is good though, to see you youngsters given a space to air your views. More power to you for that and such a diverse range of subjects too.
I probably won't contribute too often (unless you open up a page for grumpy old men) but it is a good way to keep your finger on the pulse as it were.
My web name refelects the pre roman tribal name of the area from which I originate. (and No, it wasn't at the same time as the Romans!!!) :lol: But I am a resident of Calne and probably will be until the daisies in the church yard start growing bigger at my expense.
Keep posting Calne and I'll join in if and when I understand what you are saying or feel particularly strongly about something.

Appreciated, Top Dog, but One needs to know what it is they are talking about before making a positive contribution or a fool of yourself.
Thanks for the support there, Bear. There are at least two of us anyway. Silver Power !!!

We do have one member on Calnetalk actually called Grumpy. Perhaps it's becoming a trend? :? :lol:

Nay Lass ! I lived in Calne briefly in 1981/2 about the time that Harris's shut down.
When my time as one of the travelling folk came to an end, I decided to settle in Calne. Partly because it was & still is a nice place to be & partly because it was the only place in the civilised portion of England where I could afford to buy a house.
The centre of Calne is very attractive, although it took a lot of time and arguing. The library is pretty good but I suspect it should have had an upper floor. The landscaping of the riverside area and the colourful hanging baskets make it very pleasant.
Both Marden Court (where I may well end up soon before assisting the daisies in the churchyard) and the Barclays bank development fit together very well.
I like the head, pig and sheep statues because they are NOT statue of the great & good who generally speaking were neither great or that good.
Compare today with the photos of when Harris's was there. The only redeeming feature was that it provided work. The junction of Church Street with the A4 looked appalling. (And it stank)
Calne has a lot going for it. Of course there is and always will be work to do to improve it. If you can stop the minority of immatures who cannot handle their drink from spoiling it for the majority of well adjusted 'NORMAL' folk then you're on to a real winner.
A small clue for you my twin sons went to Heddington School during our brief stay and I'm proud to say I am a grandad to 3 boys.
I LIKE CALNE.

I very much doubt it, Lass. All the answers I have given have been truthful, but I like being enigmatic and who else has 2 pages of welcome messages ? (Even if they are the result of my own verbosity.)

Don't despair LL. I'm quite reasonable deep down.
