donald

A sad day indeed and you did gave it your best shot,in the meantime thanks to those of you who had a positive input it was great while it lasted and it was a pleasure to have meet personally some new friends ,Kind Regards to all Ted

Ted, have to echo your sentiments. The "positive input" is what struck me, we suddenly had a lot of negative input..(thanks Bertha...whoever you are),for example. Very little "conversation" or reply's and to all of the Lisburn people that I rediscovered over the years..as we say in South Carolina, Y'all be careful.

a wee dander down along the towpath, a duke at Hilden school and then a few biffs in Weatherspoons. A pity we could not end up with a fish supper in Genesis in Market Square to make the treat complete.
donald

Donald, That sounds brilliant, no one ever replaced Genesis really did they, I often remember coming out of the pictures putting our money together and getting a fish supper, flooding it with vinegar, by the time you reached the Castle Gardens the paper was sodden and we were fighting over the last chip, Regards
Ted

Ted
then coming down past the chip shop on the Lowroad and smelling the cooking!
donald

Donald, It did nothing for your appetite, but the memory lingers on ?Regards

Ted
wasn´t that chip shop owned by Miller who also owned a sweetie shop up the road? Duncan was the frye,r he was the son-in-law if I remember correctly.
donald

donald,
i think this came up before? the fryer was apparantly the son -in -law and was a keen lambeg drummer?

Tom /Donald, His name was Bob Duncan and he was married to The oldest daughter of the Miller family,and you are right Tom he played the Lambeg drum on Bow Street regularly, it's still going strong under new ownership as it is a magnet for the school opposite and of course it would have a much more varied menu today than in Miller's days Regards Ted
