Lol Janet, know the feeling! I've found out some interesting things about my Dorset ancestors and now have a desperate urge to drive down there this week and do some prowling!

You can do it, I gave up chocolate for lent last year and stayed clean for ten months, until someone bought me some for Christmas.

Daisy, I think you'll find that if their name was Camell they also built the underground trains!

I did exactly that on the tube going to the meet on Saturday! Most of my ancestors were technically on the Victoria Line between Kings Cross and Pimlico! The rest were around the FRC! Daisy

Hi, A perfectly normal response as far as I can see. I wonder if the steelworking Allenders went that way as well. Gwynne

O.K. I knew I was addicted but this morning, as I walked out of the dentists, I looked down at the cast iron drain cover and noted it was made in Puddletown, Dorset. My immediate thought? I wonder if my James Shackleton ever moved from Southampton to work in that Iron foundry. How bad have I got it. Repeat after me 'BAD'
