Thank you Ashley! I really thought nobody would remember me - so thank you so much for the welcome back!

Mike in Seattle said:My grandfather told us about hopping on a horse when he was an early teen and taking a day or two ride on his horse to Coffeyville, KS, to see the bodies of the Dalton Gang...and then decades later, I go to high school with the great-great-great grandson of one of the Daltons. "Hey, my grandfather rode for over a day or to see the corpse of one of your great-great-great uncles..."
You gave me a bit of a jump then ^-^ It's not often I see people talking about Merry Hill online, I always think it's weird when I come across someone who lives locally to me xxxx xdollydaydream said:lol
I was browsing the fresh free range chicken shelf in Asda this afternoon, after a particularly hard days shopping in Merry Hill & a gentleman came up to me, not old, but not young, and he said to me 'me and my friend have seen you walking through the centre a few times today and I wanted to tell you we think you look absolutely beautiful'. He said it was lovely to see someone so well dressed. I proceeded to giggle like a child and turn the colour of my lipstick.
I've never ever had that happen before. It made me feel nice, which is never a bad thing

I get a lot of lingering (and sometimes confused!) looks from the older generation but rarely get any actual conversation. A bloke in his 50's did walk past me at the cashpoint one day in my green suit and seamed stockings and tossed a "Fabulous outfit" over his shoulder as he was rushing past.
They never seem too shy about negative comments, that's for sure! I don't know, I think a lot of people feel uneasy giving compliments, but I definitely get more glances and nice words from boys now I dress this way xxx xAurora said:Maybe the British are too shy or not too impressed? As my Grandmother says; A generation of tracksuits and trainers have damaged us beyond repair, so we can no longer understand what real style is... Of course, that is just one person's opinion - I can see what she means though
