i never really noticed much of Ethel's ab contribution until the Corrie stripper incident, where she posted that she had been in touch with him via email andn posted the link. I think she mainly posted during the day and in othert topics and so I ws not really awate of her until then .
However, i do remember something from her when we had the PMs and the avatars in the sports section on the beta AB, not sure what it was now though.
Hey, just had a thought ..... we all thought B00 was that nice shop assistant down the Co-op - then she confessed who she really is - a brickie from Bradford called Dave.
You don't think Ethel's that awful Klown person, do ya?
mrs chappie, Stourbridge would have a Dudley post code, Dudley to Shrewsbury = 30 miles approx.
call any black country man ( Dudlley is in the heart of the black country ) a brummy and you would be going home with a black eye.
Thanks tony. The postal address she gave me was actually Dudley itself though - DY3.
The neighbour (who I thought was Ethel's neighbour) did say there was a street of the same name in Kingswinford, and also in Wednesbury. I don't know if those places are close to Dudley.
mrs chappie, Kingswinford is only about 2 miles from Dudley and Wednesbury about 4 or 5 miles.
Kingswinford would also have a Dudley post code and Wednesbury would have a Walsall post code.
tonyav....Ethel did mention she was divorced from a black man? Does that mean a coloured man or a coal-miner. Please explain to this ignorant southerner.
Ethel said she led a funeral with horse-drawn carriage. That reminded me of the Kray black horse-drawn carriage/hearse. Ethel said "her driver called" for work - I presumed she still 'did the books & wages' for the undertakers she inherited.
