As a teenager, I used to have freckles across my nose but they faded by the time I started to go to work.

I have never met my father - he is the Scottish 50% of me genes. I have a photo of him but my memory of him was replaced by another when I was about two years old. I remember that he used to make me laugh and feel very happy. It's strange that I have that emotional memory of him but not a memory of him.

LOL, vanity prevented me from mentioning the 'white strands' in my hair.

I've had the privilege of spending a day with our WonderWoman Wendy and would gladly add 2 more. We laughed and chatted as if we'd known each other all our lives. :-4

A true Cockney is born within the sound of Bow Bells which are the bells of the Great Church at Bow, London.

Although my family lived in Putney when I was born, my place of birth was Wimbledon, so I am not a Cockney.

LOL, I always though Wimbledon was another name for badminton, you know where they hit a ball back and forth with round bats. It's on TV on Saturday afternoon. I thought that it was some sort of cousin to tennis.

Before our currency was decimalized, we had pounds, shillings and pence. Pennies were denoted in shorthand with a 'd'. Thus, 3d, threepence, pronounced 'thrupence'. The picture is of an old pre-decimalisation thupenny bit. At the time of the changeover to decimalisation, 3d was worth 1.25p.
