I was born in St Austell and brought up in Falmouth. On my mothers side I have traced ancestors back to 1666, in Feock. Other ancestors are from all over, but I have solid roots here.

Not me.
Born in Poole, Dorset.
Moved here in 1983 when I bought a Public House.

Where in Poole? I lived in Rossmore, Parkstone, then off to Bear Cross and West Howe.

See you like rugby - Oakmedians, Bournemouth, Dorset Knobs? Played for 'em all before moving to the pointy end.....

And from your screen name, were you were a biker babe at the Jolly Sailor on Poole Quay??? If so, I would have liked to have though twe *may* have met - but I suspect that you would be a year or two after I left Sad(

AAAhh the memories are just flooding back!!!!

As an aside, do you know what the oldest mention of a motorbike is?

Its in the bible - "The roar of Moses Triumph could be heard throughout Jerusalem"

My parents sill live in Lower Parkstone, just off Ringwood Road, that's where I lived for the most part. Been in Plymouth for 14 years so it was a long time ago now.

I wasn't a biker babe at the Jolly Sailor, I wasn't allowed a bike while I was still at home... Mum thought it was too dangerous so I've only been riding 3 years (took me a while to work out that I could do what I want now I'm an adult!!).

There seems to be a lot of us ex-pats in this part of the world... I'm surprise there's still anyone living in Poole!

Know the Lower parkstone area quite well - worked in the Conservative Club there just before moving down here.

Its a little known fact that Poole is now empty and it is being compulsory purchased bt the Wessex Association of Amateur Dung-Dabblers for their Annual Shows )
