Thanks Susan with. I hate going over the bridge anyway. I love every part of Wales (even Connah's Quay and Port Talbot) and my heart sings all the time I have lived in Rhos-on-Sea, Bangor, Llanddulas, Moelfre, and now Pontypandy :-D :-D
Nowhere like it. I feel a very lucky boy. Even the rain today was soft and cool and helps the complexion ;-)

Susan did you HAVE to say that? :-P :-P
I could go right off you..lolol
I'm sure your village would benefit by a new incomer ;-)

John Say's Sometimes I get quite frightened by the amount of venom my thoughts and views engender. I have tried to explain why I think it just possible that Dr Robyn Lewis was not the most guilty party in the till incident in Spar Pwllheli.
I say. John that one has got far too old now. If a person does not agree with you, you say that person is spouting venom. Do you think we are all slithering snakes?
John say's I have never hidden or distorted any facts about myself - except one or two things that I really do want to keep private. I have always tried to say things as I would say them in real life.
I say. That is a laugh, you change your mind more times then Welsh rugby player get the ball. :-D
John says I cannot see that I have written anything on this thread that is upsetting in any way. I have been polite and I have tried to ignore the jibes. Now the "you were the only one to ever cause trouble on the Welsh thread" rears its head again. And "banale". If I had murdered someone, the sentence would have been spent before you forgive me my transgressions when I started chatting back in August..
I say. Nearly everything you post upsets somebody on here & you know it, that is why you do it.
John says. Anyway, I shall go to bed now and wake in the morning an Englishman. I shall start supporting England at rugby, I shall pretend I know no Welsh poetry, that I can sing no Welsh songs. Perhaps I had better move across the bridge.
I say. Like I just said you change your mind again & again. Please Dont you come over here it's not good for you.

I have rr'd Sylvia's post because it was very abusive imo. She suggested I have an imaginary OH. Well, I don't of course. But if I did, it would be none of her business whatsoever.
|
|
I have resisted the urge to post for as long as I can.
From a post of John's on the previous page
"I lived in Wolverhampton from one to 14. My dad was a soldier in WW2 from Wton"
And then posted at 3 Jan 2013 00:27
"My father could not get a good job in Colwyn Bay and had a reserved occupation as a Building Society Clerk in Wolverhampton Freeholders in Queen Square, Wolverhampton."
What a contradiction
|
|
lol.......... whatever .. not abusive at all just the truth
|
|
Nah....where I live newcomers are likely to be eaten alive, he wouldn't last two seconds. I believe He should stick to his guns and stay in his own neck of the woods where he is loved :-D :-D
|
|
I'm off to bed now to see if I can stop laughing at the b s that John spouts & get some sleep.
nite nite all

I know why you RRd Sylvia's post John but please realise that we are all researchers and if someone grabs our attention we are going to have a trawl around the www.
You know what info is out there for all to see. Please accord us some intelligence.
If it walks like a duck etc.,
I have said this so many times, you are obviously an intelligent man but you do not use that gift in any way that could be regarded as helpful.
Perhaps you like to cause disquiet, I don't know the answer to that. We have all rubbed along very nicely for 2/3 years now since the last GR meltdown and bang! we are travelling backwards in time to when the boards were damned awful to participate in.

Allan??? I could go off you. My dad was born 1918 and joined Building Society in Wolverhampton in 1935. When war broke out he joined Signals and was posted to Colwyn Bay where he met mum and they got married in 1943.
After war, dad worked for my grandfather who was Colwyn Bay Pier Manager, I believe. Dad's job had been kept open in Wton and they decided it was best for him to return there when grandpa was taken ill and soon died. No prospects in Colwyn Bay, and a job and a future in Wton. Building Society clerk was a very good job then. So hence the move. And I liked Wolverhampton. And mum and nain settled really well there and also liked it very much.
But we all hankered for Wales, all holidays were there, and my love was always there. And my greatest achievement was marrying a very beautiful Welsh girl 34 years ago (from Holywell) who has always been my rock and given us two beautiful children :-D
No contradiction ;-)

My aunt (Welsh ancestry going back 300 years and counting) once remarked that there is little more irritating than a "born again" Welshman.
Apart from chicken pox.
And chicken pox goes away, eventually.

The first thing I want to say is......
Law of the land,
Registering a birth
When should you register your baby's birth?
When your baby is born you must register their birth with the registrar in the district where the birth took place within six weeks.
My question, what special permission did your father have John that allowed him to be able to register you in a district were you were not born ?
John I have read many thread's that you have posted on and you either know, knew, are a part of such and such an organisation or have been such and such in your life I can only guess you are a remarkable person to have packed so much into your life.
I have a very famous Uncle who in my eyes has achieved so much and with all your remarkable achievements I would think you will either know him or about him.
Let me show you what honours you may even share with him.

Now he is some-one who has done a lot in his life, if you have achieved all that you say you have then you will also have a list like this to show.
Now I'll appoligise to the rest of you and Sue for going off the threads original subject but I am fed up with all this I am or I have or I know every time John post on a thread.
When I return to this thread later I will for the first time ever probably have been RR by some-one ( so be it )
Now in line with the subject and reading all the post posted I'll add my bit shall I.
My recently departed Father was around the same age as the person in question (Dr Lewis )and as much as I loved him he seemed to believe he had the right to do this kind of thing, I don't think he would have taken things to Dr Lewis's extreme but I on a couple of occasions was present when my Father to me treated a shop assistant with disrespect, and told him so and even went back into the shop to appoligise to the person he had spoken to and I must say they were very understanding and put it down to my dads age, I didn't think this to be an excuse for his behaviour, to me my Father had been very rude and I told my Father that I felt embarrised by the way he had spoken to the person. My Father was brought up with the belief that the customer was always right no matter what, my oppinion on that way of thinking is snobbery and thinking he thought himself better than the shop assistant and I am of total disagreement with my Fathers way of thinking.
So my oppinion of DR Lewis ( and this is my oppinion ) is he decided the check out assistant was in his eye's being disrespectful by not abiding his instruction, and for whatever reason he was going to do his best to belittle her, and on principle was not going to give her the satisfaction of not submitting to his demand's, in other words he was being a bully in my eye's.
I have given my oppinion on the basis of my own experience :-)

Lewis ;
and I refrain from calling him Dr. because I cant come at feeding egos;
he said something about his honour being restored.
For him the incident ( am I allowed to read between the lines?) was NOT really about "the language" ; rather it was about honouring him. the language thing was used as an excuse; or a ruse to have his honour topped up.
Dr Octogenarian narcissiaticus !!
Respect or honour must be earned, not demanded. and if he had indeed earned it honestly in the past, he must have lost it somewhere along the way.
When some needy old man wants honour, he goes to any lengths to get it.
and I agree with Dianne, age makes ones faults more irritating, not less so.

I can not comment and do not wish to expand on much of this thread, however, one or two posts are factually incorrect. When your baby is born you must register their birth within six weeks with the registrar in the district where the birth took place . You can apply for a correction to the birth certificate at the the register office where your child’s birth was registered eg. for minor mistakes in a parent’s occupation, birthplace or address, the correcton will be recorded in the margins of the original certificate.

It is very worrying to me that some have been researching me. I have no real secrets, but have never thought to go digging into anybody's tree on here.
Why assume that someone does not deserve to have an opinion on a subject. Why try to suggest I am not Welsh.
The three things in my life that are important to me are my family, my religion and Wales.
I have probably failed to do enough to promote all 3 so far. But life is not over yet.
The vitriol on this thread and constant taunting (for no obvious reason to me) has upset me. What you gain from it is beyond me - a very different world to the one I inhabit. It is a shame anyone cannot give an alternative view without being slated or ignored.
I was told I was born in Pine Grove, Rhos on Sea by my mother (my widowed grandmother's house). My birth certificate says Hallam House, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton - which is what I put on my tree. Quite pleased if I was acttually born in Wolverhampton. It is not important to me where I was born - more important that I was actually born. I was not there to verify facts at the time, and mum has long since died. Dad bought a house in Penn, Wolverhampton in 1947 and the sale of Pine Grove house paid for most of that. The three of us apparently moved to Penn when I was very young and I lived in Penn and then Finchfield till about 14. Very happy childhood - brought up to love Wales, spent all holidays in Colwyn Bay.
I doubt Diane will be any prouder of her father and her ancestors that many of us are of ours. And they were all individuals - whether they achieved a lot or a little.
And we are not always politeness personified when we speak or write to anyone else. We have good days and bad. And probably more bad days as we get older. And Dr Lewis and the cashier and the store manager are probably all similarly flawed human beings to ourselves and would all have handled this very differently on a different day. But life is not a rehearsal - bury things, move on.

Here it is again, now it's he is the victim in all this.
John please will you stop insulting people? we are not silly, stupid or anything like that.
If you was'nt born in Wales like your mother told you then your mother told you something untrue for a reason & I think maybe you need to find out why that reason is. It may affect your family tree. I know I would like to know if it was me. Maybe if you behaved better towards all the people on here you might find a little help in finding something too. But I guess it all depends on if you like the truth?
I don't think you know what truth is & if you do you probably could not handle the truth as it seems you are brainwashed into a lot of things.
