Hello people,

I live in Bangkok for my sins but I do love it here! It could be worse, I could be back in the UK working at a crisp factory lol lol lol.

That was my old life, now I work in a cheese factory (only kidding lol) I'm retired and Lovin it.

As I recall, Skips were prawn flavoured puffs. Very morish.

I had to google all of that, took me 20 minutes to realise you meant Stockton "on" Tees the river. I was searching for tees/crisps like an idiot. My invoice will be in the post.  ????

My family all worked at Golden Wonder in Corby (or Basic Slag steelworks).

We used to get boxes of free cheese and onion crisps when I were a lad.

A happy, positive poster who is happy to be in Thailand, welcome Skips.

 

You have probably stunned most posters here, they are not used to such positivity, you should have moaned about something, anything. Try to think of something to moan about next time !!  ????????

thanks to all with your kind words. I think life is wonderful here, the weather is great, the food is cheap and the women are beautiful. What's to moan about really? not much me thinks.

I worked at North Tees C Power Station for a year … around 1970 I think.

 

Haverton  Hill if I remember correctly. Seem to recall that the air wasn’t exactly clean in those days.

 

Anyway welcome.
