It all seems so long ago! I was Silver Queen. A couple I used to chat to alot became such good friends and although I moved away years ago we still remain friends. A bit like here really. I'd never thought about that before. Jane

God do I remember ...I was called sabre..in the days before pc's A few months ago I had a guy come to my house to give pc a health check and it turned out he was someone I use to talk to on the old CB. Used to have great fun and joined in 2 quiz'es each week. was a member of a club,and had a base station as well as mobile. This was smashing as we used to drive in convoy to car shows (had a classic car) and was able to keep in touch and let each other know if we wanted to stop off for a cuppa......then along came mobile phones. The classic car is stll somewhere in the garage Lynn

I was Guinevere, my son was Funky Monkey,my daughter is little linnet, our close friends were Music man, crazy lady, mystery man,marina, telemedic,hunter, that`s just a few, we used to play fox hunt with our cars. We used to meet up at the cafe in ball hill coventry. I think we`ve all moved on from 10-1 set up`s now.
