Our Chief Anoraks last name

[Carol Townsend]

David,
I can remember him putting his head between Geoff Capes' legs and lifting him into the air Geoff kept budgies as a hobby by the way...( not that that's relevant to anything but I thought I'd throw it in.)
I can just about remember the Great Freeze of 1962/3 when my school was closed as the boiler had burst, and I sat indoors wearing gloves as my mum was too scared to switch on the gas fire! The milk arrived frozen solid. Lets hear it for the heroic milkman!!!!Nowadays he wouldn't be allowed out because of 'elf n safety regulations.

I'd better stop this stroll down Memory Lane...
Cheers

Hi Bill

I am so sorry - I confess that I totally missed your original question. I'm really up to my eyes in work at the moment and admit that I'm doing nothing but running a quick eye over forum posts to make sure there's nothing libellous or obscene, etc.

My name. Well, Wooler with one 'l' is fairly rare. I think it a safe assumption that our ancestors had something to do with sheep - but hopefully not in the Welsh way (no offence meant Aled ).

We have the names and addresses of some 475 Wooler families around the world. 346 of these are in Great Britain, 68 in Australia, 30 in the United States, 13 in South Africa, 11 in Canada, 4 in New Zealand, 2 in Italy and 1 in France (traitor! Or should I say black sheep?).

89 of the UK Woolers can be found in Yorkshire and another 38 in the adjacent counties. Only one family can be traced in Northumberland, where the family's ancestral home, Wooler, is located, some 14 miles south of the Scottish border. The town of Wooler is home to some 2000 people. It's a pleasant little community, located on the edge of the beautiful Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park. Sleepy is an understatement.

I hope the above statistics prove my undeniable entitlement to the rank of "Chief Anorak".

Wow!
I bend my knee and bow down to the floor in your radiant prescence
I hope it's not my occasional posts that are creating all this extra work
As you suggested, I have sent you an Email (at least I hope I have)
Must go; things to do, places to go, people to see...
