Lots of happy people .Im very trying but at last i tried and result . - 15 January 2010 18:4937746lets hope we do not end up with all the C/FOOD Down the windows like they do on the other side of the road.
- 15 January 2010 18:5337747Sorry Sue, I thought it was something else. But as I`m here, do you remember the Good News box of chocolate`s?Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
- 15 January 2010 19:5037754Yes I do Colin .My husband used to buy me chocolates .I recall for some years there were a lot of new brands .Im sure later today I shall rec all some pof those long forgotten names .
Colin are you a Railway Man?? - 15 January 2010 22:1337803Colin thought of one Contrast .I believe one section was milk and the other dark chocolate .The centres were soft and had sharp flavours such as Lime ,Lemon ,Strawberry ,No toffee or nut fillings .
- 15 January 2010 22:2137805#4. Yes I am Sue. #5. Yes I remember Contrast Sue, as well as Weekend, Dairy Box, Black Magic. Not sure if any of these are still about though, or if and when they disappeared. Anyway, glad you`re pleased with your bus shelter Sue, and it`s nice to have some good news on here edible or not.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered. - 15 January 2010 23:0337809we could do with a few bus shelters in my neck of the woods.
susan, would you be so kind to pay a visit to the area please. - 15 January 2010 23:0637812That sounds like a chat up line Howard
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 15 January 2010 23:4637820Colin my late husband was a GWR man .Former Station Master at Iver in Buckinghamshire .Duty Officer for Seaspeed where he oversaw Nigel??
He then moved to Kings Lynn where he was Area Manager .Responsible for stations down to Ely .He died in service at the early age of 47 .
WE used to try all those chocolates you have mentioned .I was very spoilt .Still the cat buys them for me now . - 15 January 2010 23:4937821Oh Howard get yourself a councillor who never gives up .Trying all the time .Sometimes I get things done as I wear them down .Well thats my view .Seriously though I always have respect and a thank you and please goes a long way .Sadly some people are not like that .
- 17 January 2010 00:2337981Very sorry Sue, I just scrolled down and missed this one during the day. AH, the GWR will live forever, along with the Great Eastern at Kings Lynn. I`ve worked up that area in Norfolk with freight trains, quite a change of scenery to down here. So sorry to hear your husband dying so very young, 47 is no age at all.Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
- 17 January 2010 08:0337992As far as I'm aware I've never been asked for a bus-shelter in the Maxton, Elmsvale or Priory areas.
There are two that I know of (there may be more) - near the entrance to Elmsvale rec. and along Folkestone Road. I had them both cleaned up a while ago - new glass (plastic) at the Elmsvale rec. area and painted at the F/Sone Road one.
Roger - 17 January 2010 11:1238009we could do with some on the folkestone road going towards folkestone.
can be pretty bleak in bad weather. - 17 January 2010 12:1438014Any particular one Howard, or do you want bus-shelters for every stop ?
Don't forget that DDC don't have much money and bus-shelters may be quite low down on their priority list.
I believe some are owned by DDC some by Stagecoach.
Roger - 17 January 2010 15:0738035roger
that is the problem i think, lack of money.
the main one as i see it is the one in market square, where the cruise passengers get their bus back to the ship as well as local bus passengers.
the other ones that spring to mind are at the juction of underdown road, outside the old orange tree, outside the old hare and hounds and opposite little farthingloe farm.
if i knew which stops were the responsibility of stagecoach, i would willingly chase them up on it. - 17 January 2010 17:1138044Colin, I had a box of Black Magic at Christmas and I know that PaulB had a box of Dairy Box so they are still going strong and absolutely yummy they were too!
Sue, I must have a word with our cat Oliver and try to get him to buy me choccies
Pleased to hear you got your bus shelter - 17 January 2010 18:0238049I'll try and find out which ones are DDC and which Stagecoach and see if I can help.

- 17 January 2010 20:1238075thanks roger, forget the ones that are DDC owned though.
