Over there are the half sisters Sal Ford-Central and Sal Ford-Crescent and their friends Pen Delton, Moses Gate and Abraham Moss.
Now it's cabaret time with the Crosby tribute act Bing Ley.
From the North-East, please welcome the Sides and their son Simon and his friends Hadrian Road, Peg Swood and Percy Main.

Doesn't quite fit the thread, but - Neville Hill?

I understand that at least one MML driver (in years gone by!) has given his name as such when demanded by an irate passenger wishing to make a report ;) .

One very hot summer day one of our guards pulled in to platform 7 at Cardiff Central on a City Line train to Radyr (very quiet off peak train).She had some lost property to hand out and spotted the dispatcher whose name was Barry Thomas.

She shouted "Barry!!!" and about 100 people got on thinking the train was going to Barry Island.:D

Have we welcomed Mr & Mrs Caster, and their son, Don?

And don't forget Mr Caster's older brother [the who owns an enclosed piece of land in Wales] - Llan Caster.

And here's Mr & Mrs Burrow and their son, Peter.

And a family which used to be invited some years ago, but we don't see much of now:-

Mr & Mrs Stowe, and their son, Edwin.

And where would we be at this gathering without the food? So we are especially grateful that Mr & Mrs Field have accepted their invitation, bringing with them their son who's an excellent cook - Chef Field.


And I suppose the folks of an ancient Abbey/Minster town in North Yorkshire are particularly proud that their town has gained an importance in food preparation. For almost all food you see in shops these days has a "Sel-by" date.

And unfortunately Mr & Mrs Morden cannot be with us, but their son Todd has come on his own.


Finally, you've heard how the Liver Birds of Liverpool, when they went to a disco, used to put their handbags on the floor and dance round them?

Similarly, is there any truth in the story that leather-workers in the West Midlands used to do the same with the tools of their trade at their Annual Dinner and Dance?

I'm sure there is - otherwise why is it called a Waltz-Awl?

Say hello to our Viking cousins from the peat moors and Humberside to the north east of where Don Caster lives: Thor North, Gilbert Dyke and Al Thorp. Their cousin Al Tofts from near Leeds is now sadly deceased.

It's a bit of a coincidence because I was only talking about this very subject the other day to my friend, Mr. Severn Tunnel-Junction :lol:
