Re: coronation street girls

Think it was Barnes St number 3 or 5. I was best mates with her sister whilst in infant school, we were joined at the hip. Went round there quite a lot to play, have tea etc. Mina was 2 years younger than us, and was our Grego's mate, but we moved into Accy when I was 8 so we all temporarily lost touch. Met up with my old buddy again at Moorhead, where she now teaches, and we still keep in touch.

Paddy the vet out of emmerdale, he is Accy born and bred. Also an actress out of the bill. Called connie in real life, tried to burn down the station and kidnapped some kids and hid the boiler room? You get the picture!

Exclamation Re: coronation street girls

Yep that is correct - little football but a lot of other kinds of ball play,if you get my drift?lol

Further in the context of your quote;"It is lucky for politicians that people don't think!" to para-phrase Hitler.

Isn't Polly James in one of those awful car insurance adverts? You know, the one that's 'only a commercial'

I don't know lettie, but out of interest, she was engaged to my uncle Brian. They split up on a ferry on the Mersey River. She threw the ring over the Stern of the ferry. Brian was a Royal Navel Submariner; He was gutted about the whole thing. They stayed friends for a while until they both married and lost contact. Brian was a Church Lad and later lived up ozzy.

Re: coronation street girls

I seem to recall seeing Julia Haworth in coronation street being a baby sitter or something. She used to go St Christophers (year below me I think), she was in a CITV program at the time called 3-7-11.
