I love Mondays...

[user123]

Me, too, Pebbs and Whitebeam, except going to Germany, that is always for 6 days or so, but it ain't a holiday. Can do 4 or 5 days tops, and then I get homecomfortsick...:lol: that is supposed to be sign of stress itself, not allowing yourself to let it all go for a three weeks, could be, could be... who knows? Loved the 12 days in Cairo though, twice... because I could DO stuff... would hate to lie on some beach all the time..

Nice to hear from a fellow Staffs native Lynn Stokie born and bred. Like Dan. Don't be fooled that Dan lives in Barlaston, he's still as common as me

Lichfield is known as Iceland in our house. We went to Lichfield one day shopping, it was February and quite possible the coldest and windiest day ive ever known. (My other half hails from Sutton Coldfield but lived in Burton on Trent.We dont usually drive and hour and half to go shopping )

I use the word 'taught' loosely it was more like 'working the door'. :ban:

I only been to Stoke once and that was to the school fair, im sure it wasnt a true representation of the community as a whole, at least i hope not or ill neve go back again :smilewinkgrin:

every city has it's "bad" areas. Stoke seems to have more "bad" areas than most. I lived in one bad area for 5 years and never had an ounce of trouble that affected anyone in our street, unlike where I live now which is supposed to be a much better area.

when I was younger, Mitchell was a rough school, and so was Berryhill (it's arch rival, nearest enemy school) which is where my Dad taught for 25 years. The council are working hard to change the poorly performing schools and I had no idea that Mitchell was now an academy. Swings and roundabouts I guess. It will be good whilst the emphasis is on it, and then it will slip when not.

sorry for hi-jacking your thread Lynn

Academy is just a dressed up word, they wer gonna merge it with Berry hill!

Give over, I have a great bunch of lads, when there not kicking site agents heads in, fighting for the hoist with the other trades, drunk out their heads at 3pm on a Friday, have more women on the go than Nigel Havers on Coronation Street, and go on strike if they dont get their sweet treats on a Friday morning...Yes I will drag them out of bed when needs be, but I wouldnt change them..men need to be men.

Turns out my other half was actually born in Lichfield too :lol:

Theres a lot to be said for not living in a city. I couldnt wait to move to London when I was younger, and now I cant wait to move out... but dont see how that will happen anytime soon The grass is always greener on the other side, except I never get to see it, surrounded by the concrete jungle.
