	Mornin.........I nearly had yesterdays breakfast, as I didnt appear all day! BBC news are featuring that train crsah in Canada....it always astounds me how many people are killed in train accidents, maybe because they are over crowed and standing most of the time? Up a bit early as son came home from club work an hour ago, teenagers just dont know how to be quiet :-\|

	I seem to have eaten a type of disease yesterday.. then I took a chopper ride... I have some family born Finsbury in the 1860s... first child born Bishopsgate then the next two at St Lukes Finsbury.. I assume at the hospital there. Their father was a surgeon .. he was my great grandfather's brother.

	Morning all breakfast will appear soon Gins ................ those killed in the Canadian train crash were all train engineers ............ the 2 regular ones, and a trainee riding in the engine with them This was a long distance train from Niagara to Toronto .................. no standing allowed on them. it seems a lot of injuries might have been caused when the overhead lockers (like you get on planes) came open, and stuff was thrown about the carriages. ja...x ..... that was a horrible disaster. s xx

	Sylvia, Even I have heard about Bridget's big pants, mind you she is one of my many cousins. ;-)
	Researching: Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

	And she kept a diary... so Jonesy has full documentation re said knickers.
