Sat in the office today when I hear a very loud bang....looks out the window and sees a Ford Focus, his back end in mine

Goes down to the car park and he is kinda...'bovered', however he becomes more interested when I tell him, it's a BMW and this is going to cost

Call Sytners (BMW dealers) and they say call in on your way home we'll give you an estimate

Looks over car and asks what damage is there to the Focus, I say...he has more hole than bumper... not surprised he says...you have a metal protection bar underneath your bumper!

Excellent service....car booked in for Monday, courtesy car for two days. BMW do all the claiming from the third party and I if they won’t pay....BMW pay and take the third party to court

Oh....cost of repairs £1254.....expensive exit of the car park I say

Edited the cost as I had 2 instead of 1

ja...x up there on the left under the GR logo, there used to be a small white oblong box where you could put surname and first name only. I used it occasionally. The Search Trees box is more comprehensive. Don't worry about it.


Janey, my friend's OH is 77. Some friends had called to take him to the hospital to see his wife but got no reply. They went round to the back and could see him sitting in his chair. He raised his right hand to show that he had seen them. They went in through the front door - which was unlocked - saw the situation and dialled 999. He seems to have lost the use of his left side and is blind in the left eye.........we wait and see.


When I spoke to him yesterday to ask how his wife was, he just wasn't making sense and said he had cramp in both legs. Hence I phoned his daughter in law. The son (who is a teacher) went round last night but just said he seemed slightly confused......grrrrrrr. wish I lived nearer.

jax, how else can we explain it??? It Is Not There Now. So no use you reproducing what Is There!!!

It used to be there, right above that row you've reproduced. It Isn't There Now.

People used to say "put the name in the search box up top" to search trees. I never did, because I figured the pakleds would get all flustered when they got 8 pages of results. I always said to use the Search Trees button and put in a DOB +/-.


Ginny -- I was once enjoying a sumptuous lunch in the round-and-round restaurant on the 26th floor of a local hotel ... when my gaze drifted to ground level ... and I observed someone running into the rear end of my rusted hulk of a 1987 Toyota van in the parking lot across the street. Now that's a weird feeling! Fortunately, it seemed to be in no worse shape after than before ...

Oh Cynthia, that's unforgivable, "he seemed slightly confused". The least that might indicate is dehydration. Some people have no sense ... or sense of propriety ... you don't leave a confused old person alone.

Meant to say, sorry about your car Gins........at least you seem to have got it all nicely sorted out.........:)

Janey, I am SO frustrated with the two sons....one is local and the other lives in London. He just pops up for the day now and then. If it weren't for friends from church doing shopping etc., I really don't know how the husband would have coped for the last 6 weeks.


I would love to do more but to visit for an hour is a round trip of 3 hours and I don't like leaving my OH for that length of time too often.....AND of course, I am not family so have to watch I don't overstep the mark. Sigh.




Now, can someone please explain what Pallots is? I have come across a rellie whose marriage is on there. Could some kind soul please take a look for me???? Samuel Druce and Elizabeth Leach. It will be around 1812 and probably in Buckinghamshire. Fank you kindly.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ancestry shows


Pallot's Marriage Index for England: 1780 - 1837

Name: Samuel Druce
Residence: of Easham
Spouse: Hannah Naltler
Marriage Date: 12 Oct 1811
Parish: Northmoor


You can see the roiginal .... which is a very tiny piece of paper (had to enlarge 200% to read) .................. and that is all the information it gives, except that Northmoor, Oxon is stamped on it


and this is what Pallot's is:-


About Pallot's Marriage Index for England: 1780 - 1837

Pallot's Index to Marriages is essential for researchers with London ancestry, as it covers all but two of the 103 parishes in the old City of London. The dates span the time from 1780 to the onset of General Registration in 1837. The more than 1.5 million marriage entries come mainly from London and Middlesex, but also include entries from 2500 parishes in 38 counties outside of London-many not available in other sources. Also included are several records from counties in Wales. With indexing begun in 1813, several of the registers transcribed in Pallot's index no longer exist, having been destroyed or lost in the time since.

The index slips were handwritten on paper, and indexing continued regularly over a period of more than 150 years. Each slip identifies the church or chapel in which the marriage was celebrated, the names of bride and of groom, whether spinster, bachelor, widow or widower and sometimes other detail along with the date of the event.

The original paper slips of the Pallot Index are owned and held at The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies, Canterbury, England. The Institute may have access to fuller details that may have survived among the original parish records. (www.ihgs.ac.uk) The Institute is a not-for-profit educational organization and researches in the records themselves can be arranged. Please visit their website for additional information about the services they provide.
