I'm at my tether's end. If you know someone called Clive (unsure of surname - sounds like Edersley), who lived in Solihull in the 1980s, was married with 2 kids, ran a kitchen business, played piano, studied at the Open University in 1984 (that I know of) please PM me.

I can promise that I am not seeking money or revenge so they are perfectly safe. I am not mad or evil. Promise.

If you don't tell us, we'll speculate wildly.

Do you have his dog?
Do you want to tattoo his name on your arse but want to check the spelling?

Sorry for being cagey. I wouldn't have posted if I hadn't had a couple of Wine tonight. Let's just say it's been playing on my mind for a while, google has not been my friend (nor many, many hours on various websites) and money for PI probably not available in the near future.

Probably born around 1947. No luck searching for OU alumni on public websites, don't really know enough specifics either to do a proper search.

Bimbo: It could be. Does he fit any of the other specifics?

BimboNo5 · 15/07/2011 23:12

Sorry im only being daft, slap my wrist.
Friends reunited, facebook, geneology websites etc?

PippiLongBottom · 15/07/2011 23:14

Bit older than my mum and dad but I'll ask them. My mum has 2 brothers who both still live in Bham.
When you say kitchen business, like fitting kitchens or selling them?

It's ok bimbo. I know I'm being weird and silly. Have tried all those websites. The problem is the surname. I'm going by what I was told but it could have been misheard (on their part) plus taking into account differing accents it could be a wide range of things. Bah. Should have just started a Friday night thread on bumsex like any self-respecting MNer. Blush

BelleDameSansMerci · 15/07/2011 23:22

Hope you find what/who you're looking for.
