The Press Officer for a very large multi...national, I also moved into a 2 million pound house, with its own stables. Yesterday, my wife became a full time charity worker, my grown up children all improved their jobs. Yesterday, I decided that my my next holidays would be spent on safari in Kenya.

Yesterday. I joined Friends Reunited.

Never did like the smarmy gits that I went to school with.

I am a retired market trader, who runs a website for charitable reasons. I am divorced. I live in Private rented property. I own a small allotment , enough to grow a cabbage and maybe 4 potatos on it.

And would you put this on your Friends Reunited profile, if you went to a smarmy Grammar school(the same one, where I played football with Alan Ball, (world cup 66) and whose former pupils talk about the UAE and living in the Cayman Islands.

Athers, thought you would have known that Alan Ball went to Farnworth Grammar school, the same school that gave us Kenneth Wolstenholme(they think it's all over, it is now)

If I was to remove my colostomy bag, I'd never be able to find it. Old age makes you forget things.

Whats your name, again?

I'm too young to know of Farnworth Grammar School I'm afraid TB... Must've shut before the 90s?

Yeah I remember Burnden, not very well though, shut when I was 12 and I could hardly go often being a young lad from Leyth whose old man worked Saturdays (remember when games were on Saturdays?)

StretfordEnd

7th August 2006, 22:53

Certainly did. I was still a slip of lad when it closed. Missed out on helping to demolish the place. Was on Lower Market Street, just about 300 yards from Moses Gate.
You probably don't remember Burnden Park, or do you. Happy memories.

More or less next to the Jaguar dealership, which shared a forecourt with the 24 hour petrol station? Just around the corner from Hawker Siddeley Dynamics?

Never heard of it . . . :whistle

Hey Stret. You deserve a prize. Maybe a season ticket to the City of Manchester stadium. Yes.

Mr. Stretford End. Knowing Bolton so well and especially knowing where Farnworth Grammar was situated, I'm going guess you live(d) within just a couple of miles away from Farnworth.

I was born in Townleys mate, dragged up in Little Hulton before it became the Bronx of Salford overspill, and have surrounded many, many pints of Guinness in and around the Farnworth/Kearsley area.

I attended a 21st at St. Edmunds a few months ago but apart from that haven't spent a lot of time there in the last few years.

Just knew it. Little Hulton. I lived there from 1950-1982, before moving to Walkden and then to Bolton about 7 years ago.

To add a further point, my son, too, was born in Townleys, which for those who don't know, and who may not care, is in Bolton. He too supports Man U.
Why does he, and yourself then support Man U and not Super Whites.

Well, assuming 'Man U' refers to the red shirted heroes :p . . . unlike your son I have never lived in Farnworth or Bolton, I was born in Townleys because it's a mile up Cleggs Lane & Plodder Lane compared to the drive up the East Lancs to Hope?

I was very young at the time so the exact reasons weren't discussed with me . . . :laugh:

I was born on Plodder lane because the alternative was Billinge. My father "wasn't having a Wiganer as a son"

Strange that, Stret. Whatever makes you think that my lad ever lived in Farnworth or Bolton? If I lived in LH(as many people refer to it) and moved to Walkden, he could hardly have lived in Farnworth. He was born in Townleys, for the same reason as yourself. What I suppose may seem strange is that I was born in Salford and support Bolton( school connection), my son born in Bolton supporting the Reds. We must be a back-to-front family. :confused

Hey up, lad. I didn't realise there was so much vitriol between Boltoners and Wiganers. I always thought there was a bond between the the two towns, or did all that change when the pie-eaters got promoted to the Premiership.

Sorry I didn't explain TB. Me and the history of my family is in Leigh, and there is massive anti-Wigan feeling imbedded in the town.. Leigh Infirmary has no baby unit anymore so it's Wigan or Bolton..

TractorBoy

8th August 2006, 19:28

Ha, now I understand. That then explains the Plodder Lane thing. So maybe next time I call into Leigh, I'll keep my true colours, but if I go into Hindley, then I shall become a pie-eater.

I suppose it was your dismay at him turning out to be a United supporter? LH is a hotbed of United support, as of course is most of Salford?

He was born in Townleys, for the same reason as yourself. What I suppose may seem strange is that I was born in Salford and support Bolton( school connection), my son born in Bolton supporting the Reds. We must be a back-to-front family. :confused

Then surely you're the one who's got it wrong? You are really a United fan . . . :smokin:

I may fall outta favour with my own compatriots but to be honest, I actually "follow" United in the Champions league. Having said that, next season(2007-8), I shall of course be following my own team
