ThatCrazyLady Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hello! I moved to Warrington 2 weeks ago - and I'm not going to lie I'm lost! I'd only had the privilege to come to your county twice before I moved (and that was to choose a house!) I'm from the midlands and have lived in the same town for 23 years so I'm very lost all this way up north! I don't know if this is the right place to post but just wanted to say hi and have sooooo many questions for you guys! So - a bit about me - I am a tea drinker, bargain hunter and love walking my crazy dog Rudy! So how are you? Its lovely to meet you! Tell me a bit about yourself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Welcome to the forum "That Crazy Lady" and judging by your name you will get on famously with the other forum members on here. I am the site owner and don't post as often as i used to but still keep my beady eye on activity on here. Watch out for Dizzy as she will also be keeping a beady eye on you as our moderator Which part of town are you living in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCrazyLady Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hello! Thankyou for the quick reply! I live in Lowton! But not near the town bit? Again - did I mention I was lost? Lowton is in Warrington isn't it? Is it yourself that devises the sign up questions? I must admit I think I may not have passed the IQ test - it took me 3 tries to get the questions right! Whales live in the sea right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hiya That Crazy Lady and welcome to the forum Oooh I always thought Lowton was in Wigan so no good asking me for directions if you're lost ha ha. Can't think of much to tell you about me as I'm feeling a bit dejected now Gary has made me out to sound like a nine eyed evil monster with razor sharp talons. I only actually have 4 eyes PS well done for getting Gary to post twice already today and it's only 10am. That must be a record for you Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Lowton sits in between Warrington and Wigan and is also not too far from Culcheth! Your post code will be Warrington but your council will be Wigan. Feeling lost now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Wigan is where they eat pies and have a naff rubgy team Just looked at a map though and Wigan looks as far away from Lowton as Warrington is in the other direction and Lowton seems to have WA postcodes so you must be classed as being part Warrington. Poor you, but saying that Warrington's new Primark shop opens in two days if you like bargains and cheap tat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCrazyLady Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Ha ha! So so lost! *sob* Well as long as I'm in this universe, in this reality I'm sure I'll be okay! And as long as I only get one council tax bill from one council I'll be super happy! Hate primark - although I have found the Golden Gates Shopping Centre - its excellent - there is a LUSH!!!!!

Evil Sid Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Welcome from the evil one on here( although some may say different) don't worry about being lost I was born in warrington and can get lost walking round town centre these days. However one way to look at it is that you are not lost you are here but have no clue where here is. Feel free to join in on any topic and start a few of your, one word of warning you will tend to find that after about six or seven replies the topic invariably ends up as an argument about immigration and the EU. about me though, little is known apart from that i am a part time poet and semi proffesional layabout. (hoping to turn pro in anout nine years if i last that long). Have a dog but at fifteen it has got to the point that a half hour walk is usually about two hundred yards. hate tea as it gives me chronic indigestion but will drink coffee till it runs out of my ears. (drink so much that in theory i should never sleep) Have enjoyed three years of happily married life, the last thirty three were not so happy but that is marriage for you. you will find us a friendly bunch and despite what people say very helpful, what we do not know we will search out with patience and diligence, well it helps to pass the time between sleeps. so good luck and hope the car passes it's mot first time.

Gary Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I love tea! I thought to myself what do I like? And I immediately thought of a nice cup of tea One has to ask (for market research) how did you end up on here - did you get lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 That Crazy Lady (too long a name for me from now on I shall address you as TCL), welcome to the forum, don't worry about being lost everyone in Warrington is lost and so are most of the members on here, posts go on for that long that eventually they forget what they were originally about. Many families in Warrington have ancestors from the midlands and mine is one of them, in the late 1800's many men travelled from the steelworks in the midlands and their families followed, to gain employment in Monks steelmill at Athertons Quay and the foundry's at Dallam & Bewsey, the 1901 census shows many families in the small streets adjacent to those mills were full of families that had travelled from the midlands. I'm glad you have found us we are in need of new blood!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCrazyLady Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 One has to ask (for market research) how did you end up on here - did you get lost? I am a very active member of my local forum and have loved it! Made so many great friends, deals and learnt so much! I think that local forums have a lot of value and knowledge so its one of the first things I googled when moving! Although I did get a little bit lost and nearly ended up on a Warrington Polish forum somehow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Welcome Crazy Lady. There is an MOT garage heading into Newton from Lowton ,on the A572 , just under the M6 motorway bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingoDave Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Welcome from myself, too. I am only an occasional poster as I only have the time and access when at work overnight - often near the Haydock Island on the East Lancashire Road, not too far from Lowton. I am an ex-teacher, ex-courier and another soon-to-be-professional layabout unless they move retirement age yet again! Although most on here really are crazy, all are extremely helpful, so never be afraid to ask questions of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
