Rex Mac Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've just registered so I thought I'd say a quick hello. Mid fifties, married, grown up family and employed in engineering manufacturing, (I know a bit rare these days but it's what I do best.) I'd just like to says thanls to all the contributors who have posted in the local history topics and in particular thanks for the old photo's I've really enjoyed looking at them and noting the many changes. I can't profess to be able to add to the history side of things but hope to make some useful or maybe amusing comments in due course.

Stallard12 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Dizzy, I think it was from when you and I were talking about the people movers. On second thought, that may have been a PM, in which case, I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Wingnut - new to all this and forgot to answer your question.... cannot stand (at all) JK, no interest in Come Dancing and only watched Black or Red because I thought my friend from work was coming on it when she passed the auditions but didn't get through to the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had competely forgot about that and it so made me smile Ahhh the pay packets I started there in '81 (I think) and left in '98 so maybe our paths crossed as we waited. I am presuming you are a 'she' as I dont remember any male secretaries being there so YIPPEE yet another female on the forum... we may be able to take over soon !! Ooops, perhaps we should continue this chat on the other topic or start a new one before we take Rex Mac's 'Greetings' topic completely. It usually happens eventually with topics though especially when I start going on about things.... sorry Rex Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camper, don't forget if you wish to discuss something in private rather than going public you have the option of sending a PM. (personal message) to someone, just click on there name this will open up their 'View Profile' page then on the left in the small column and under their photo or shadow image if no photo is displayed, click on 'send message' this opens the send message page, fill in 'subject' type message and send.

Rex Mac Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks very much for the warm welcome. Unfortunately the warning from Algy about the Rat & Trumpet came too late. I'm never one to pass on an invite for a pint so as soon as I received the invite from Wingnut I logged off and went searching. At around 4:30 this morning a nioce man in a blue uniform enquired what I was searching for. When I told him about the invite he murmered something to the effect of "Not another one" patted me on the back and suggested I should toddle off home and get some sleep.

algy Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Rex, I'm surprised you didn't bump into Wingey as he has a tendency to wander about in the middle of the night and early hours of the morning scaring the life out of poor unsuspecting fishermen and the like.
