Not Dead Yet - Forum

 
 hello Maurice Sir.....they cant all have gone down
 with the `MARY CELESTE` surely !

 some of the members MUST have been saved..........
 all on holiday ? w-h-e-r-e a-r-e th-e-y ALL ??????

Wish i knew Smiler, maybe now the weather had changed we might c a few more on here. Its a shame really because its a great site.

it sure is William
but one cant reply if nobody is posting !
and why does nobody go into chat ?
wish I had the answers

one of the problems with chatMac, is u c someone in chat and when u get there theres nobody there.
I think if we put down the bast time 4 us to go into chat and c what happens. Ny best times r 2,3o and 8pm.
now the weather has changed, the deckchair has bin put away

I guess its worth a try William

I know things are slack just now but stay with us because we are going to do something about it soon

Thats good to hear Maurice
we wait with baited breath !  ::)

Now is the time for all good members, to come to the aid of the forum. -- Have been looking in for a little while and noticed just how quite the forum is, so will do my best to assist. -- I have not joined any other forum as yet, so will be nice to chat again:

please to hear it phoenix  :-*

Phoenix.
went to the annual " salute to the 1940`s " show
on saturday.... even better than last year year.
spoke to an A.R.P. warden, there with a open van
with all the gear of the time/.stirrup pump etc.
i told him of my years of being an civil defence
messenger, attached to a wardens post..i put him
right about a couple of items of dress.
  moving on spoke to other people.. had a cup of
tea in an enamel cup.. plenty of U.S.`snowdrops`
another was....an A.T.S.`redcap`in full uniform.
plenty of `yanks`, commamdo`s, navy,+ air force.
  a great day was had by all on a hot sunny day.
even a few generals there, plus... Patten again.   

Hello Smiler, So glad that you enjoyed The salute to the 1940s!! I trust you was nice and polite to the 'air raid precaution' warden ?? -- and had a go on the 'stirrup pump' ?? -- wow!! memories?? nostagia?? sure brings things back. We went to 'Ramsey, 1940s Weekend' on the 18th. August (sunday) We had a fabulous time, speaking to so many people and the terrific displays being shown. There was also some in German Uniform (not nazi)-- Which according to 'The Best of British' magazine, some people are objecting too.-- Must go to more, hopefully next year ??  Do You buy 'The Best of British' magazine??
I cannot find anyone who I can pass them on too, together with 'Yours' magazines and 'Computer Active' -- seems a shame, so will see if 'Age Concern' is Interested ??

Hi Phoenix.. yes these 1940 shows certainly
bring out the best in people. did`nt notice
any german uniforns......plenty of `jeeps`.
an `essex` group of infantry.home guard too.
  Yours mags...and the other mags, would be
acceptable in a hospital book sxchange unit.
  also a doctors waiting room.... as i said
General Patton was there,with his 3/4 other
officers + his..... 2 guns round his waist.
  a paddle steamer to give trips up & down
the river too.

Hi Smiler, Re- the Mags: Doctors surgery was not interested. Never thought about the Hospital (wvs) will take next time and hope they will help.

Bye the way, Clicked in to The Dover Forum, last week and found quite interesting -- possibly Nostalgia again !!

The 1940 re-enactments seem to be getting more and more popular and covering more area's of our country. So very well supported by the public and fully appreciating the organisation that goes into these shows.

our area lends itself to the 1940`s slot very well
because a former dockyard...it has H.M.S.Cavalier,
submarine H.M.S. Ocelot, in dry docks there.
 the `jeeps` were running around all day carrying
troops. the wartime `canteen` was vey popular too.
police in war garb,naval rating, officers, wrens,
of the period too..no russian or italian uniforms
there, no doult they will come later.
they had `the lindy dancers` there to.. doing the        jitter bug. all lively...good clean fun...Phoenix.

Gee, what a lovely time you had. The 'lindy' dancers was also at Ramsey, reminded us of the 'Good Olde days' -- The time of our 'Jiving' and dancing.-- I believe these 1940s re-enactments, remind us all of those very hard times and those that gave their lives,-- That 'we' might survive in a better world.-- Here's to seeing many more 1940s re-enactments and remembering those days. In moving from Dover and Deal in 1941, memories do come back.-- have gone into the Dover Forum and past history and found it quite interesting, most is about recent years, so doubt if I would recognise much now. But content with the 'memories'!!

I'm one of the members who hasn't posted lately but I do have a good excuse, I've been on holiday :D :D :D :DHad two glorious weeks in northern cyprus( turkish part ) Weather was great, over 30c every day. However, I'm back now and promise to post. How are you phoenix? Well I hope?

Welcome Home Betty,  Happy to know your Holiday was Good and will help you get through our winter. -- I have been viewing other Forums, and have noted your posts etc: But have not joined othere's yet.-- Looking forward to your posting. Am keeping quite well. Thank You for asking.

Mac, I think it was you who asked why there's nobody in the chat. Nearly every evening I try to find someone to chat here, but it's useless.
Don't you like to chat????

Hi Terri

Chat Room?? never used it yet?? -- Hardly ever see anyone in there??   Then Again ?? What does one talk about??
 It must be so different, Talking to someone that one cannot see. Any Suggestions Welcome !!

I could be a 'Difficult Man'-- But I feel a little 'shy' in trying:

Give over Phoenix,get in there and try it,its fun,we even have a sing along lol

Dive in there Pheonix, Mac and I will hold your hand. The trouble is, knowing when someone is in chat

I saw ansu was in the forum, so went in hoping he/she mite follow but it was still showing chat room empty so they wouldnt know I was there

Mac, I think you are 'kidding' me??(coaxing me)into The Chat Room, with A sing-a-long ??
