"Hi,
You won't need to get a fire door custom made. If the doorframe is too narrow you can cut down the width, if too wide you can either add softwood to the edges or buy a wider one and cut to width replacing the hardwood lipping. I've…"

Hello Kevin, following on from a previous message of yours:
You mentioned there was a lad named Jackson living next door at sometime.
I just noticed in todays "Update, New Members" there is a Ian JACKSON-Reeves joined.
Could possibly be a connection ? Let me know out of interest if so.
Cheers mate.

Hello Kevin. The name Beryl rings a bell but your surname unfortunately doesn't. Mind you that is no surprise really cos I don't recall any girls surnames. Boys and girls were segregated at South Grove SM. I was there 1960 - 64.
Be interesting to know when your sister attended and names of any acquaintances she had there, girls and boys.
Where did you live Kevin ?
