Welcome Eddie. You move around a bit, you're not running from the law are you? What is your original nationality? Are you related to Eddie Haskell from Leave it to Beaver TV series? These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered.

Calling someone a pratt in the UK is quite rude, what a way to make someone feel welcome:rolleyes:;).

We've had a few new members in the last few days, did someone park the bus outside or what?!

Welcome and enjoy.:-6

You won't recognise "the bay" now ... P.E. Uitenhage and Despatch have combined to form the Nelson Madela Metropole and P.E. is also know as "Mandela Bay" ... over a million souls live here now and getting bigger all the time ... average house here costs close to a million ... the traffic is like chaos ... we are also the biggest deep water port in africa ... just your average city i guess!

No, not my wedding - I got married in the church just up the road from where I live, could have walked but didn't!!!

I was disappointed that I couldn't come over, it was my friend who was getting married but unfortunately hubby and I were in the process of selling our business and it dragged on and on and on...... I love lawyers!!!!
