Small world, yes it certainly is. About 12 yrs ago we were waiting in line for the elevator at the Eiffel Tower and in front of us were a group of school kids. My husband said that they had a Warrington accent, so I asked them what school they were from and it turned out my sister was their teacher.

Your bessie mate must have done very well for her/him self = or married well. We used to take our cat to the vet there and used to drool at the houses in Tarpoley - something we didn't do when we drove through Winsford!
Where about's in Sheffield. My wife's best mate at Uni came from Swinton in Rotherham!
