    Just wondering if anybody on this board could help me find one of my best mates who i lost contact with in the 70s he's a mag through and through and he had the misfortune to make mates with me. The lads name is Brian Elliot his brother was Bob, Bri married a lass from Wales called Donna if you could help in any way i would be a happy bloke. Cheers Rooch3

    Any clues as to where he was from, when he left the area and so on? If Friends Reunited are still going that was a good place to look for someone if you know which school they went to and when they left it.

    Not heard of the fellow and, oddly enough not heard the name Donna around here for ages for anyone so I don't think he's landed here in my town.

    Named Rory, after the one and only... I do hope that you mean Mr Gallagher here.

    Glyn Cieriog to Norfolk is going to be one hell of a culture shock for him. As I say, do try Friends Reunited he'll more likely to have put something on there years ago rather than the social media fancied by today's yoof. Failng that, there's always a request to the local Norfolk papers asking if anyone there knows him. It'll cost a dozen stamps but it may be worth it and it will have more chance of being printed if you put something interesting in your letter that will get the sub-editor motivated to put the thing in on page eighteen under the listings of stray dogs and cats.

    Good luck with this hunt. Most of my old school chums have done their very best over the years to move a few times and to avoid remaining in touch with me.

    I think I have just seen him jumping on a bus at the Haymarket, its was heading for the Metrocentre. He has a M&S bag so he might be taking something back, try there.
