  • Brimmers. We are near neighbours. I am still fairly sprightly but if the time comes when age/fading eyesight/whatever make it impossible for me to get to AP, I shall be looking to hitch a ride with someone!!

    Google Maps tells me I’m 6.6 miles south of the Northamptonshire border. I’m just the ‘wrong’ side of Newport Pagnell. I know of at least one person the ‘right’ side though, so they beat me by a few hundred yards.

    I am currently having an appropriate blue plaque fixed to the front of the house.

  • King of the North

  • bit niche this

  • When the time comes you can relying on House Stokenchurch to March north to restore the MKUA to Buckinghamshire

  • Death to the unitary authorities time to restore the county to it’s pre 1972 greatness. The concrete cow must fall

    Opposite the Rod Barbers computer repair place, just before the zebra crossing as you head down towards cosy corner is a tiny stoney road. We are in there. Always welcome to car share. I do a few away games, (within reason), if you would like to join in as well.
    It could be a race though as to who ages first/eyesight fades? ATM I attend home games, (weather permitting), on my motorbike with my son, three maybe a squeeze! If it's pouring/really ice/cold, then go in the car.

  • Gotcha @Ewanhoosami. And, as some kind person (?@mooneyman) remarked earlier in the season, not a lot of room on my mobility scooter. Thanks for the car share invitation. Just might take you up on it for an away game at some point.

  • I live in Great Kingshill and often walk to Hazlemere sometimes via Widmer End. I did see someone driving a mobility scooter the other day with a dog in the basket. It wasn't you was it Micra?

    BlueBoy I think you’re in front I’m not sure what you mean by the right side of Newport Pagnell

    I.e. I live in MK. The divide is the M1 and I’m on the wrong side of it.

    It may come to that one day but Paddy is eleven so I expect to outlive him but who knows!

  • Apologies for delay @mooneyman. Away for weekend. Amazing examples of longevity, particularly in “mutts” which, whisper it quietly, our Paddy is. Seems I may have erred on the optimistic side!

  • Lots of us from Thames.

  • Widmer End is the biggest WWFC stronghold in Bucks. Overtook Downley in 2015.

  • Thame is not Bucks @Chickenhead ..........but Haddenham is a different matter

  • Haddenhams a wild borderland frequented by desperados and renegades

  • Remembering Al The Pal RIP
