Subject: UK catters Please Read From: bill\sables Date: 07 Jul 01 - 10:10 AM I have compiled a list of catters in the UK from the "How many UK catters" threads. The sole purpose of this thread is to find locations of members to try to organise a UK gathering which would be central for all. Some of you who have given locations have asked who else lives in your county. I can post a list of mudcat names and counties but I don't want to reveal your locations if you want them to be kept secret. Please PM me if you don't want your mudcat name revealed in a county list and I will just put you as "One Other". Cheers Bill |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: GUEST,jayohjo Date: 07 Jul 01 - 10:46 AM A bit tricky mind, but I'm roughly based near leeds in yorkshire, when not at university in Bristol, or abroad traelling somewhere! But in principle, that's it. Jayohjo XXX |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: bill\sables Date: 07 Jul 01 - 10:52 AM I will not reveal towns with names, only counties. If you want to contact anyone in your county you can always PM them and it is up to the individual to reveal their exact location if they want to. Bill |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: mooman Date: 07 Jul 01 - 03:43 PM And although I don't live in the UK anymore, I'll make sure I come to a UK 'Catter Gathering! Does that make me "honorary UK" Bill? mooman (County Brussels) |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Jul 01 - 03:52 PM Well geographically Harlow's Essex - but for practical purposes it's more Herts, because that's how the lines of communication run. But that's likely to apply to people living in a town on the border of any big county.
But it should be a handy list.
(Mind I've always thought the UK is an irrelevant geographical unit for this sort of purpose - either Great Britain or the British Isles would be more relevant.) |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Gareth Date: 07 Jul 01 - 04:33 PM No I don't mind the worls knowing I come from Ystrad Mynach, Nr Caerphilly. The fun is hearing an English Traffic Cop trying to pronounce or/and spell it. Gareth -(Garydd normally gets then too !) |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 07 Jul 01 - 04:48 PM I imagine he'd pronounce it carefully. |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jul 01 - 06:02 PM Mooman - if you bring your bike over, you can be an honorary Cockney mate!!! Oh, by the way, I passed one part but failed the second part of my bike test, so I can legally ride upto 33bhp with L plates, until I take my test again, hopefully at the end of July..... Watch out - I have to get a bike before September to make it worth while...... LTS |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Lanfranc Date: 07 Jul 01 - 07:04 PM I'm in 'Arlow, too. So that'll be Essex, then. No medallions, not much chest hair, not interested in soccer, no shell suit, no Ford Escort. Not stereotypical. LtS on a bike! Look out, Marianne Faithfull! What's the second part of the test? How to do wheelies? Never could figure out how to carry a guitar safely on a bike, so stuck to 4 wheels. |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Gareth Date: 07 Jul 01 - 08:19 PM Tony d'F Whitstable - I think we may have met. I lived there long enough. I lament the demise of the Folk Club at the Duke of Cumberland. Extempor sessions were occasionaly held in the East Kent when Dick Bird was Landlord - I got thrown out of there for the following spontanous verse of Crawshaw Bailey
"Oh the Landlords name is Dicky,
"Have you ever saw, Joshing apart, have a word with Jullian Spurrier of the Labour Club in Belmont Rd., I suspect he or Hazel may be happy to accomedate a Folk meet.

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 07 Jul 01 - 08:37 PM I agree with Roger, please dont tell anybody I live in Hull. :-) |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: The Walrus Date: 08 Jul 01 - 04:52 AM Carshalton in Surrey, but it's in the London Borough of Sutton, so, as far as I'm concerned, you can file me under either (I'll even, at a pinch, accept Middlesex, as I work in Teddington). Regards Tom (the Walrus) |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Dunc Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:28 AM I'm up here in the Fair City of Perth - where are all the Scottish Catters? |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: John MacKenzie Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:53 AM I'm farther north than that Dunc, Lairg in the county of Sutherland, and work in Inverness. Jock |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Eric the Viking Date: 08 Jul 01 - 07:17 AM I might change my name to Ek from Cleck-most of you know where I live anyway.(not that i come from cleck of course) |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Jock Morris Date: 08 Jul 01 - 08:07 AM Dunc, I'm just down the road from you in Cairneyhill (ok, 30 miles down the road). Would you be the Dunc who once had a 'girlfriend' called Isa Savage? Scott |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: John MacKenzie Date: 08 Jul 01 - 09:13 AM What a great name Isa Savage, a bit like Teresa Green on Wayn Kerr |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Geoff the Duck Date: 08 Jul 01 - 09:24 AM No problem for me Bill - Just put In a world of his own!!!!! QUACK!!!!!!! Geoff. |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Manitas Date: 08 Jul 01 - 10:19 AM As London is now longer a county I presume us Plaistow (that's Liz the Squeak, Micca and moi)mob are going to have to be entered as in Essex. Which is alright by me as when I was born West Ham was still styled a County Borough. |

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Linda Kelly Date: 08 Jul 01 - 02:32 PM Hull, although my husband thinks I live on another planet. |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: GUEST,Flaj Date: 08 Jul 01 - 04:22 PM If I said Horbury I bet hardly anyone would know where it is anyway so you can probably say it with impunity. Failing that, how about West Riding?

Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:51 PM Don't forget that geographical centre may not be the easiest to get to..... it's easier and cheaper to go to Scotland by train than it is to get to Devon, and probably only a few hours longer..... it took me 4 hours to get to Dorset by train, it took only 6 to get to Durham, four times the distance!! Wildlone, I knew Sherborne well at one point. Ever go over to Batcombe Down? Maybe next time I'm down, we'll get together..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: UK catters Please Read From: Liz the Squeak Date: 08 Jul 01 - 05:53 PM The first part of the test was learning to ride the thing, and passing a Compulsory Basic Training test. This means I can ride it with L plates, but not on motorways. The second part was like a driving test, to dispense with the L plates and let me on motorways. I failed that, simply because I haven't had enough experience on the roads. Yet. LTS |
