The Lighter Side / Re: preparing for a wedding
« on: Monday 02 November 09 14:06 GMT (UK)  »
I had a "perfect" 2nd wedding. I phoned friends and invited myself to coffee. Then when we arrived I told them we wanted to use her garden! The only other people present were the 2 witnesses the pastor and his wife. It was awesome. I could be "me"!
 but we did have an "open house" as a reception later!

The Lighter Side / Re: TRUE LONDONERS - can we use such a phrase about our families...?

 This is a super topic Berlin-Bob,,  I'm surprised it sat idle for so long!
Although I've discovered I'm not as "cockney" as I thought !  I am still thinking of myself as a true Londoner.  If I give up on the only fact I know to be correct, [that I was born there] I would be even more confused about  my identity !!! :)
The more I find about my ancestors makes me wish they had given DNA as part of the census!
I haven't worked out how to put happy faces on yet. but if I had I would have used many happy ones!

I love the "comerardery" [read that phonetically!] on this forum!
Yes, I have a few avenues now to explore. so Yes this is probably complete.
Thank you ALL.  Muttly

I've been 'highjacked" by other members either talking."in tongue" or in code!!!!
If that's a northern thing, than I guess I'll stick to being a "mutt" [hence the name!] Seriously I haven't a clue about the politics in that part of the world. it must be the same the world over!
And getting back on topic........I always thought tyke was a small child. I think i'll keep that definition! and I have yet to hear back from anyone in Hampshire.

What is your definition of Tyke?
My family always thought we were real "cockneys" until I discovered that all my maternal side comes from  "North of Watford'!   In fact most came from between  Leeds and the lake district. So i';m not sure now what we are!

I don't know if she was aware of his correct age. When they married 3 weeks earlier he said he was 27! She was 24, but it seems like a huge age difference to invent.
They stayed together,and had 4 children.
She was actually from Yorkshire so maybe it was a case of it being too far to go home.
