I wonder if she was related to the Sandbach Turnoff ?

Second cousin to the Watford Gap.

Poxie Annie, I got it wrong, it was Poxie Aggie

Sandbach Turnoff, you must be referring to my ex daughter in law Brum, she lives in Sandbach in the very exclusive Westlands district ..

Got it now Len, just over the border in Staffordshire.

Sandbach High School is just up the road from here.

There's a lot of traffic relating to Sandbach going on. At least one of my favourite comedians lived in the town - George Roper of 'wellies' fame.

I know George Roper died in Sandbach, Jim but when I saw him (briefly) he was in a pub, which I undertand was his, in a village called Goostrey.

Another famous name from this little town is Blaster Bates.

Staying with the military/BAOR thread, Foden and ERF trucks were, until recently made in Sandbach.

Brum,

What was the relationship between Foden & ERF ? Were they family related or what ? Sure we had some Fodens in BAOR when I was there.

ERF WAS Established in 1933 BY DENNIS FODEN,,WIKI

I see John McMillan has allready answered your question Jim.

Strictly speaking, Foden's was in Elworth, a separate village in those days.

The Foden family are buried in Elworth churchyard.

The site of the Foden works is now a care home for the elderly (I've got my bed booked !), and the ERF site is now a health centre/supermarket/Mc Donald's.

Thanks John & Brum for the info on ERF/Foden. I will do a Wiki on both

John boy, is there something in the glass that is blowing bubbles !!

come on Jimsigs, that's the Frog laying the eggs

Of course Les, silly old me.

Thing about frog spawn is if like me you had a liking for it, the thing to do was keep on about it to the other kids, it would soon put them off, leaving more for me

John McMillan, Thanks for that. So both ERF & Foden came from the same family via rifts etc.
