A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

Folk songs and old tales

#1 Post by Aldbourne_Annie »

Hello all. Annie, Aldbourne way. I collect the old songs and the old tales, the mummers, the Devil stories, the things grandmothers said, before the last people who carry them are gone. Half of it is nonsense and all of it is precious. I expect I shall be the one dragging every thread back round to a folk tale.
Ask me about the old stories, Ive got hundreds :)

Oh we shall get on, I have a grandmother's worth of sayings for you.
just an old woman who remembers when the green had three shops.
