If I had lots of money old watches would be a weakness of mine.<br /><br />I won't move out of my area either, despite it being a very grim area for jobs if you have the nerve to ask for some degree of interesting work and more than six quid an hour. Or at least, it would have to be some fantastic well-paid and enjoyable gig. And even then I'd come back. The way I can walk down town and see loads of people I know, and never have to plan things, and get dragged into pubs all the time, is precious.loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-42022582322997315992012-04-06T09:40:10.220+01:002012-04-06T09:40:10.220+01:00Hope you get on Antiques Roadshow.

I've not applied for jobs etc. as they would mean us moving - which given I'm in an area of high unemployment isn't smart. <br /><br />When I say local literally we go back to mid 19th Century and we're still in the same parish! My great great Grandfather was baptised in the same font I was! I think it is genetic - there are the wander genes and there are not - I'm a not. I think my son will break some of that mould he has moved away for uni and not planing on coming back.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-45089951143735711252012-04-04T20:32:19.868+01:002012-04-04T20:32:19.868+01:00We North American have such confounded histories a...We North American have such confounded histories as we are largely transplants not so long ago.

I'd love to see some pics of these fascinating items, especially of the watch (hint, hint)..?Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362772742268382636.post-42922274573304020742012-04-04T12:31:00.601+01:002012-04-04T12:31:00.601+01:00thought you said your dad's original dentures....thought you said your dad's original dentures....like to see that on antiques roadshow...it's all going on with you then John Bishop/ Whoever next?? happy easter....!!Young at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585882466695145340noreply@blogger.com
