   l don't know if this will get any replies, but here goes. l attended Our Lady of Grace School, Fairfax Rd in the 1940s. Lived in Whitefield and emigrated to Australia in 1956, big mistake! l remember the teachers Miss O'Meara,Mrs Webster, Miss Geoghan, Miss long and Headmistress Mother Mary Francis. Some school friends from those days included Brian Thorpe,Brian Berry, Gerald Penny, Ray Jones, Margaret Webster who had a beautiful singing voice, her sister Kathleen, Annette Dell, Teresa Ellis just a few l remember. The clergy was Fathers Brown Conolly, Gleeson & Lee. l believe Father Lee died as result of tragic car accident in Whitefield. l played in Besses Boys Band,The Senior Band & Prestwich Boro Band. Also served in Coldstream Guards prior to coming out here. Does any of this ring any bells, if so love to hear from you. Merry Xmas and all the best for 2007. Cheers Ron Curliss.

   Dear Advertiser, holidaying in Greece I was dismayed to see how Northern English groups are -can I say it - "dissed" . For instance,the "24 hour party people" dvd is given away with Sunday newspapers. As an Australian ex-pat composer living here I would say one thing-stop knocking our 3rd largest industry! Pull your socks up1 Don't be like an ex-member of The Fall, fly the flag`! Yours, Gary Pellet, St.Anns Rd,Prestwich
