Hi Mandy, There is some dispute as to whether it was Devizes or Bishops Cannings that the event took place but us Devizesites like to believe it was in the town. Bishops Cannings is about 2 miles from Devizes at the bottom of Caen hill which Devizes basically sits upon. p.s. my parents still live in Devizes and have done for at least 60 odd years and I reckon they know most folk in the town so maybe they know your son's friends family.

Barry, is it that big pond where you see the swans as you drive through on the way to Swindon? I would have thought it was a great place for moonraking:) Mandy :) Oops sorry, think we posted at the same time!

Hello Yes I have noticed they are out of sync for a while. As some may know I post the Birthday wishes and I like to post them as close to 12.00 am GR time as possible, well lately I will be refreshing the page so when a message is posted on or about midnight, I then add the Birthday/s for the day, and sometimes they end up a few messages down the thread and about 2 or 3 minutes earlier than what was stated just before I posted, if that makes sense. Today I posted 5 messages 4 of them showed a time of about 00.01.00 and the other one (Which wasnt the first or last I posted) read about 00.05.00 ????? Gremlins yes!!!! Cheers Sue

Gremlins in the system again. I replied to a thread earlier and my reply was timed earlier than the original message!
