Yes we know some of these people aren’t abroad but we thought we’d include them anyway!

Pat Duncan and sister Hazel on a visit to the Laxey Wheel one of the famous landmarks of the Isle of Man.

Pat lives in the Isle of Man and sister Hazel visits twice a year, once in the springtime to sort out Pat's garden for her.

Hazel would like to remind anyone who may remember her that she attended St. Mark's Primary School and then Holland Street School. Also she once got run over by the Gasworks Gates while she was playing "Please May I Cross Your Golden River?" Pat doesn't remember this game but there is ten years age difference between them.

When I played the game it was May I Cross your Red Red River! Had we localised it I wonder because of the 'Red River' in Philips Park. Editor.

James Cunningham who now lives in Sweden reads Have Your Say, well he did until the biggest bear ever took a liking to it!

James' nephew Andy (our puzzle mad lad) sends the magazine to him.
Alan Ross in Australia, originally from Miles Platting photographed with his late wife Margaret, sister Marion and late brother in law David. See article Family Shops and the Victory.
Marian & Dave Ross with the Port Eynon beach stretching out behind them the view is from Oxwich looking across to Worms Head, Gower, South Wales. Marian originally came from 'Tripe Colony, Miles Platting.
Sylvia Pelham has been featured in Have Your Say issue 19. But look at her now! A real rock chick on the motorbike She is featured on The Womens Auxiliary of the Oshawa General Hospital calendar as Ms October! Rock on Sylvia!

Stan Howard from Australia visited Have Your Say at last years open day/AGM.

Stan came from Cobden Street Ancoats and went to St. Phillips School in Ridgeway Street during the 1940s. Stan has noticed that there hasn't been any correspondence from ex St. Augustine's pupils (Sanderson Street). Most of Stan's friends went there.

If anyone knows Stan from the old days, he can be reached by email stanoozoo@hotmail.com
