Just want to apologise for being flippant and mischievous more especially as I know that area well.
Croyland Abbey as it was known then, Crowland Athletic Club has my name on the Junior Cross County winner for....I refuse to give the date.......and is now Peterborough and Crowland Athletic Club.
My father lived in Market Deeping all his life and died some 20yrs ago.......I never met him unfortunately.
All the best for the quiz and please indulge my childishness.
ha ha Sqad. Think my pops might have something to say about that!!!! I would hazard a guess you would know my family though if you spent any time in Peterborough or Market Deeping. My grandad seems to know EVERYONE!
I might know your grandad barmaid !! Not so far away myself - & I did say the BF lives in Peterborough at the moment didn't I? And there's a lot of folks with my surname (you know what it is...) in Peterborough apparently. And, even though it's a French-sounding name, apparently there are a lot in America. Weird.
Yes you mentioned it Salla! I have to say, I don't recognise your surname in Peterborough - although you are right it is very unusual.
And if you knew my grandad you'd get on brilliantly. He likes a laugh and a drink and is one of the funniest men I know. And he is mad as a hatter - gets up every morning to go for a jog. Even though he is 85.
Just spotted this thread & see it is for my attention. Don't worry, Sqad, I didn't take your comments personally & actually I am a SHE not a HE! I closed the thread because I thought it was getting a bit silly not because I was offended in any way. Cheers!
