Well, I was born in Cheshire which, among others, borders Derbyshire to the east, Staffordshire and Shropshire to the south, Flintshire to the west, and (historically, before local government reorganisation in 1972) Lancashire to the north. And all of those shires are in England, not New Zealand (apart from Flintshire, which is in Wales).

That's fairly common in Ireland. Particularly in the month of March. So much so that there's a saying in my part of Ireland: "You can get four seasons of weather in one March day."

I thought it was all oil wells...
-
The same right back at you, bro!
-
Greetings, young Drew!
-
Greetings, young Albert! And greetings to the rest of you, as well!

Albert:
-
It did on my laptop, as well... Left me intrigued, and somewhat in awe of @Albert1434's ability to post a blank comment. Didn't know that was possible.

It's after midnight, so I'll finish my cocoa and head to bed soon. Good night, all! Before I go, I notice we're on page 1970...
-
So only..... *quick calculation* 93 chapters to go? Don't forget to eat and sleep occasionally.
-
Hi, Page! See you in a good few day's time, maybe?
-
Well I suppose I should let you all know just how well you all did trying to pick the 1966 me out... After a couple of wrong suggestions by duggie and clo (2 wrong from clo , initially), it now seems as though Gary, clo, Bucket, and duggie all think I am next to the end on the right of the back row. (If I've missed anyone in that list, just put it down to my advancing years ) And.... *Insert appropriate drum roll here*
-
I doubt it. Bar-steward!!! Hey, bro!

Greetings, young Albert!

Well, I can tell you it was grey! I was there, after all. Actually, I'm surprised young Llewellyn got away with wearing a grey shirt for that photograph. The school was normally extremely strict with its uniform code. Although it's quite possible he got a detention (and maybe even a few strokes of the headmaster's cane across his buttocks) for that faux pas of his that day...
-
My apologies, Gary. Hopefully that will be my final senior moment for the next while.
-
So are you also referring to the one two from the end, or the one next to the end?
-
True. But it was Gary (@Headstall) who said "second from right." And he still hasn't answered my question...
-
That’s my guess too I'll repeat what I asked Gary when he originally suggested that: "I've had this discussion with my own siblings in the past about photographs. When you say "second from right" - do you mean the one two from the end, or the one next to the end?"
-
I'll wait or @dughlas to confirm whether you're right or not before making the big reveal. But the lad on the far right was wearing a V-necked grey sweater, which was actually part of the official school uniform. It had to be V-necked, so it didn't hide the school tie. It wasn't actually mandatory to wear a sweater, so most of us would dispense with it during the summer months. If you look carefully you'll see that the lad next to the end on the left of the front row was also wearing one (and perhaps even the lad on the right on the back row).
-
I wonder if that's what Gary meant as well...?
-
To answer your two questions: 1) Not me, too far to travel. 2) It wouldn't be something right at the top of my "want" list. Next question, please!
-
Well it seemed to have cleared for that reply... ********* If I understand your problem correctly, try placing your mouse cursor inside the box that you want to get rid of. You should see a small square with a cross-hair in it immediately above the top left of the box... Move your mouse pointer onto that box It will turn into a solid white cross with arrows at the end of each of the 4 arms of the cross Click once and the small square should disappear Now press the Delete key on your keyboard, and the big box should disappear. Hope this helps! (And I am assuming you're using a PC or a laptop, I'm not sure how you would do it on a phone or tablet, although I suspect it would be somewhat similar)

I've had this discussion with my own siblings in the past about photographs. When you say "second from right" - do you mean the one two from the end, or the one next to the end? As regards size, I have the original print of the photograph somewhere, but it's not much bigger than that scanned image (if any bigger at all).
-
If you're talking about the one wearing a grey shirt instead of a white one, fourth long from the left, that's David Llewellyn. He was one of just a couple of lads who joined the school in the sixth form, having got extremely good grades in his O-Levels at one of the local Secondary Modern schools (as they didn't have a sixth form). But you're correct in suggesting that I am on the back row - meaning @clochette's guess was incorrect.
