I am guilty of it as I am sure most people of a certain age are - the old 'We were happier when I was a kid!' speech. It is a theory that people only think that they were happier in the past because they only remember the...

Nestonlady That is so true Bellapop, especially what you say about achieving a balance. I certainly wouldn't want to stop youngsters using computers as they are an integral part of life nowadays. In all honesty, I can't help thinking that if computers had been around...

Nestonlady Hi Oldchem :) Well, although we do live in Neston now, I was originally a Tranmere girl! Don't know if you knew Tranmere at all but I was brought up in Oriel Road.

Nestonlady Hi Wizzywig :) That's interesting that there was once a "Greenland Fishery Inn" in Kings Lynn. I wonder if there were any more around the country!

Nestonlady I'm afraid I don't know how it got it's name but at a guess, I would think it may have something to do with the fishing industry.I know it dates back to the 1600's and there would have been a lot of fishing in this area before the river started silting up....

Hey avid readers on mylot! I was wondering how many of you keep track of the books you read. Do you write down and store the titles of the books you read somewhere or do you just read as you go and forget all about some of the...

Nestonlady Oh dear, I didn't expect my comment about possibly having read a million books to be taken seriously! It was intended as a tongue in cheek comment.

Nestonlady Hi Callarse1 Well, you've asked me something now! lol.I don't really know your taste in tv programmes so it's a bit difficult to recommend anything to you. Also I don't know which of our programmes go out in America. I can tell you that I enjoy Emmerdale and...

Nestonlady Hi Callarsel, No, I'm afraid I don't speak any Gaelic. I do know a few words of Welsh as our family holidays were sometimes in Wales but not enough to be able to follow a programme in Welsh.Most of the tv I watch is the home-grown variety so obviously it is...
