Re: Preventing bad luck
I always say good morning to a magpie and to mrs magpie. I don't put shoes on the table that is a dissappointment and only sing happy birthday at the dinner table. Two teaspoons in a cup means a christening. How sad this all this my only excuse is that my father was Irish. Poppy

Hi Sorry don't have any photos, just memories of your dad taking a pass out from work to go and see Bill Haley and the Comets. Tommy and Sheena were always in the height of fashion and Tommy wore thick crepe soled shoes.

Re: ardeer rec stevenston
My husband's cousin Norman Reid played base. He emigrated to America. Tompy Bell played the piano and Laurie Martin played drums. The group was called the Red Robins. I hope his memory is correct. Sorry he doesn't remember a singer.

My sister Annie Gordon served her time as a dressmaker upstairs in the co-op. She worked beside I think Mrs Donnelly and Annie------(she lived in Central Avenue and emigrated to Australia).

Hi Del80
I lived at 11 Busbie Drive from around 1949 until 1961. I remember 2 sisters living at No13 but unfortunately I can't remember their names. Poppy
