I'm from Canada and, for obvious reasons, cannot join in any discussions about local issues on the forum. A few weeks ago, however, I posted a message about Landcroft Road in 1891 and 1901 and mentioned my grandfather by name (he grew up on Landcroft).


This week, a distant cousin of mine - wholly unknown to me - googled my grandfather's name and saw immediately my message on this forum. Through the forum, she was able to send me a private message and we have been able to re-estabish contact between the UK and Canadian sides of the family. Hurray.


I know that family reunions are not among the express purposes of the forum... but I just wanted to send you a big thank you anyhow.


Let us now return to our reguler programming.

      Typically the way 'family run businesses' operate is either to have family members continue the business, or to sell on, either as a site (in this instance) or as a going concern. Either which way this is the way the owners create a 'pension' from the business. The number of suggestions as to alternatives makes me feel that the market for small repairing garages locally may be well served, so selling on the site makes the best financial sense for the owners. It's a sign not of the times but of normal business realities.

      I agree it's a shame, but it is not a "sign of the times", unless you think that up to now people have never grown older and retired!

      Blah Blah, great idea- we need a leader and organiser to get this started.
