Thank you very much Cliff,
Indeed my Grandfather was George. Sadly we lost him 15 years ago tomorrow. But it is wonderful to know that someone from his younger days remembers him.
Gordon I understand now lives on the Welsh boarder. Walter moved to Australia and changed his name to Shervington. Rose passed away about 2 years ago. Vera (the Wren) still lives in Tetbury. Helen I think died in Germany The others were Oliver, Gwen, May, Joyce, Marjorie, Dolly, Henry, Raymond, Cyril, Geoffrey, Horace, Les and John. Do any of those names ring a bell.

Reading a couple of posts back on this thread, I came across the nickname "Juggle". Well blow me down that jogged the memory. While standing in the grave yard in Tetbury (about 1980), A man shouted over the fence, "Hey Juggle, What you doing back round here?" After a very long conversation, held between my Grandfather and the man on the other side of the fence, I was informed by a rather embarrassed Grandfather, that as a lad he was known as Juggle's due to the size of his ears. ;D

Very interested in the Pulley family from West Street. George Pulley ran The Prince of Wales (Drum and Monkey) until the 1950's when he moved into a house in the same street. My main interest is in his son George born in 1916 and the bride he brought back with him from the army in 1948. I would be grateful of any imformation to do with this family.
Many Thanks.

Hi Monica Mary, No good asking about GILLETTS, FAWKES,INTERNATIONAL STORES,TROOPER WITCHELL, Everyone remembers them, but how many are there now that can remember Q'ing up with a ration book in their hands to get what ever was on offer?. Is there anyone out there who like me bought blasting powder at 9d a pound, and fuse to use with same at 3d a yard. I guess we are lucky to be still alive after making "bangers" with it. If Gordon PULLEY is still out there, can he remember when we nearly set fire to the " Drum " (Prince of Wales). I guess Trooper was lucky not to have been arrested under the Explosives Act. I must admit that despite a reasonable memory, one or two businesses escape me. Shops either side of International, one became the Maple Leaf Cafe, but I remember it as a toy shop run by two elderly "sisters"?. On the other side a shoe shop, MILLWARDS There are one or two more, but I will leave those for another time. I only wish we had a few more interested viewers. Cliff.B. I know this is an old post and I am deeply sorry for that. Gordon Pulley is the younger brother of my Grandad, I would be so very interested to hear more about this. ;D
