"Thank you Michel for the honour of entrusting him to me in the beginning  .... I'm so glad I "met " him !!"

Annie, avez-vous déjà entendu parler du sixième sens ? et bien le mien ne m'a pas trompé ! :)

That's great Graham, thank you so much!  And please thank the Church Council too!

The Echo want a photo of someone from the group by the gravestone.  Is it alright for me to send them the one of you that Edna's sister took when she visited St Peter's?  Or if you can have one taken of yourself with the stone you can email it to the reporter at the Echo tonight or tomorrow.  I can pm you with his email address.

He's putting our article through to his Editor to see if it will be accepted and needs a photo asap.  I thought it might an opportunity to mention your roof fund.....!  ;D

Thanks,
Lynne



Sorry for the delay. At a rather big football match in Liverpool last night!!! I'm sure it is best to send the photo you have that is available for the sake of time. The Echo know where to contact me if they need any help.

Thank you everyone for telling me where you are from.  I reckon we're up to 3 Scousers and 100's of honourary Liverpudlians!   ;D 
It really makes interesting reading because I was presuming most of you were ex-pats or children of ex-pats I don't know why and I've had my eyes opened!

Another reason I've taken an interest is that I'm researching my great-uncle who died in WW1.

PS - as we explained all the 'Allo 'Allo story to Michel, someone explain the title of this thread as well?

That was just Annie settling us all down to listen carefully, while she began to tell the tale of Robert, on the first post of the first thread.

It was always said at the  beginning of the story on "Listen with Mother "

"Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin! "

Hi Graham

Great result last night!  ;D  I'm not allowed to watch live because my other half thinks I'm a jinx!!!   ::)  But I did manage to watch the last 20 minutes without him knowing and we won so I reckon my jinx has gone!

Lots of singing and dancing in our house last night! 

Thanks for letting me use your photo - I had my hair done just in case it was going to be me getting snapped but I'm relieved I don't have to go now!

I once went on that famous ferry across the Mersey..........and I waved to the Liver Birds.......Can I be an honorary 'Scouser' please.......    :-* :-*

And just to let you know............I think you ALL deserve a huge pat on the back.   What you've achieved is nothing short of brilliant.

Well done.
