    Me too but not the one in Praed Street, I was born in their old branch in Harrow Road. Not there anymore as it was knocked down to build houses on but there is a blue plaque up on the wall saying "Grove Ranger was born here". Maybe.

    36.2 miles, but that means far enough away to make me a Reading FC fan!

    Eddie yes to wormholt park school must admit the rest doesn't ring any bells but then not much does when you're 6!!!!!. What number did you live at? Might jog the memory a bit.

    Eddie....on balance i would say not as no 48 is a little bit away from ours and i only really remember the kids that lived directly around by us......however, for old time sake i actually had a walk down Oaklands yesterday as i was over for the game, a bit of reminicing...my god its become very yuppyfied and very pricey....nice little cafe opposite the apartments that have been built on the old church site...it was doing a roaring trade, cafe society is alive and kicking. Also had a wonder around wormholt park...it's a lot smaller than i remember but then i was a lot smaller then so everything looked large!!!!!
