AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:41

It wasn't nice when I lived there but they did have lots of pubs, which now are closed down....

Flojo1979 · 29/11/2012 22:47

Ha clearly u haven't been in the Elephant and Castle! Adlington is not posh! It's full of mooncup hippies like me

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:48

Ooh UPPER Aggy, get you. My sister met her husband in the top spinners one misty night 10 years ago!

Flojo1979 · 29/11/2012 22:49

thyme that made me spill my brew! I often wondered if anyone goes out in Adlington, clearly not, u left

Flojo1979 · 29/11/2012 22:49

Misty night in the top spinners? Had someone set the bin on fire again?

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:50

I think I was breathing out sambuca fumes and b&h too heavily. Blush

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:51

Every Friday and Saturday night, Start at the waggon & horses, then the railway, white bear, clayton, stagger out of the bridge at closing time...happy days. Occasionally walk up the hill and spend £10 in the jukebox at top spinners.

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:52

(This was some years ago I feel obliged to add!)

Fakebook · 29/11/2012 22:52

OP, hope you've taken advice from this thread and have made some friends.

Flojo1979 · 29/11/2012 22:57

Happy days Grin

AboutThyme · 29/11/2012 22:58

Talk about hijacking a thread Blush

SlightlyJaded · 29/11/2012 22:59

I haven't read the whole thread (sorry - DC has vomit thingy)

But

Please do use the Friendship bench in your Mumsnet Local/Meetups - this is EXACTLY what it is meant for and it's all new and it would be lovely if it did some good.

Just go and sit on your bench and wait for someone else to come along. Less full on than a MN meetup, and a nice low key way to meet local MNers

And no, I am not being paid to promote it - just thought I'd say like.. Grin

Flojo1979 · 29/11/2012 23:08

Yeah I did wonder if Fakebook was making a point!

ConfusedPixie · 29/11/2012 23:12

Oh OP :( I know how you feel. I finally met people with similar interests a week and a half ago, I am so chuffed to finally have two friends Blush I spent five years movign around and moved to Brighton just over a year ago with my DP, who was the only friend who had survived my moves and I ended up hooking up with him! Grin

My local MNetters are lovely, you should see if there is a meetup close to you and go, they're good fun!

Electric: Sorry to hear you can't come Saturday :(

gallifrey, postmanpatsblackandwhitecat medi88 and ageekswife: If you are near enough to Brighton there are meets every few months! They're good fun too :)

Anyone near Brighton/Lewes feel free to say hi, I'm a 23yo in Woodingdean and work in Lewes three days a week with a 2yo girl Mon-Weds mornings, can meet for coffee in the afternoons there too without her.

I have no kids and am really busy for somebody who has no life Hmm And rubbish at organising meets Blush But I am going to try harder in 2013 to actually arrange coffee and natter with locals on a regular basis, honestly!

TeaMakesItToTheTop · 29/11/2012 23:15

CurlsRUs i'm in NE Somerset

BitBewildered · 29/11/2012 23:36

Ooh ChocolateCoins I'm in Northumberland too! Moved here from London. Grin

ChocolateCoins · 30/11/2012 09:44

Yay bewildered! Grin I'm not the only southerner up here then! Have you been up here long? Do you have DCs?

PostmanPatsBlackandWhiteCat · 30/11/2012 11:03

Waves to any mnters in that area who would like to meet up

Dontbugmemalone · 30/11/2012 11:17

Thanks strawberrypenguin. That's very kind :).

I'm in Poland at the moment and getting very homesick.
I will pm you shortly.
