Do you supply the majorette and cheerleaders uniforms Amanda? If you do, I will leave my measurements next time I post. If you don't, is it possible to get a grant to help with the cost?A gentleman never tells his age but I do fall with in the age criteria you left in your first posting

Residence should not be concerned about Andrews Church of Fruitful Alliance
building a meeting hall in Uckfield, I have been an active member for six years
after being converted in a shopping centre in Los Angeles. The church is very
active in providing facilities for the young ranging from caring for a working
mum baby from 10 days old, babysitting, play school, pre school. youth clubs
camping trips, go karting, football, cricket, tennis, nature trips, sailing,
driving tuition (both motorcycles and cars) help with homework and education -
all without charge. The church has free 24 hour gyms for all ages, tennis
courts, squash etc etc

Up the workers is an old saying from a TV programme called 'citizen smith'.
He was a socialist icon at the time and for anyone who has ever lived in South
London.... FREEDOM TO TOOTING!

For those of you he want to know more about Andrews Church of Fruitful
Alliance, run a search on Goggle, I did, and I wish I hadn't
Chris
- Wednesday, September 03, 2003 at 14:20:37 (BST)
I know Agnes, I was being sarcastic, you should know me well enough to know
my sense of humour by now! Those 3 men should be ashamed of themselves for not
getting involved. By the way, what “up the workers” mean?

There are a number of "Andrews Church of Fruitful Alliance"
churches throughout Europe. In fact there is at least one in each of the EU
member states except the UK. This church is seen as the 'European' church hence
the interdominational status, heavily promoted by the EU the majority of funding
comes from European funds, the national state and local taxation. Two are to be
built in England (one at Uckfield and the other in Shropshire), one in Scotland
and possibly one in Wales. In France local counsellors were offered highly paid
advisory posts within the church and so helped oil the wheels of democracy when
local objections were raised

What has happened to Democracy in this country? Now we have the threat of a
huge religous building dominating our town and the local people let alone the
council have not been informed. Why is John Prescot trying to destroy rural
communities in the South East, what with him forcing tens of thousands of new
homes on Kent he is now starting on Sussex. Has anyone heard of this 'Andrews
Church of Alliance', what do they stand for, what do out local religous leaders
think?

- Monday, September 01, 2003 at 22:26:44 (BST)
Some counsellors were approached by the 'Church' some months ago and agreed
to support the application to DEFRA. I personally believe the construction of
this church will put Uckfield on the map and result in a cosmopolitan community
that will, in the longer term, be of benefit to us all

I say unto the People of Uckfield, beware, beware of Andrews Church of
Fruitful Alliance, an abomination, a false Church, a false Prophet. For fear of
reprisals, I can say no more here. Email me and I will help you in your fight
against this carbuncle of sin.

Some of you may remember a year or two ago there was talk of a huge meeting
hall being built near Uckfield for The Andrews Church of Fruitful Alliance, an
international multidenominational religous organisation. Without elected town
council knowledge our local government in support of central government DEFRA,
the ministry headed up by John Prescott, has agreed in principle for this huge
edifice to be built on the floodplain in the land east of the High Street. As
this land is permanently wet the complete building including carparking for 1000
cars will be constructed above ground on 4m (13') high concrete piles. This area
of OUR heritage supports a rare community of plant including wild angelica,
marsh marigold, purple loosestrife, and tussock sedge. The wetland is also home
for snipe, and many other species of birds including sparrow hawks. It was hoped
that this land would eventually become an official Local Nature Reserve but
unless we act fast will disappear under concrete for ever. Not only will the
land disappear but in effect so will our town as Andrews Church of Fruitful
Alliance meeting halls are massive and are built to hold meetings of 15,000
people or more, they are equipped with huge gyms, accomodation for up to 1000
people and are high security venues bathed in floodlights from dusk to dawn. We
must ALL act know to overthrow this terrible decision.

Jen -- would love to meet up with some more girls in the area for goings out!
Sounds fun! and Dave, I'm not into that (3 people thing). As I previously said,
if it's watching you want, then go to that event, otherwise, you might be able
to convince me.
Sally
- Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 12:52:38 (BST)
Sally and jen, I did not mean to hurt your feelings, I just assume that you
originally said you would meet up with me out of kindness for an old man. Of
course I would love to meet up with both of you, I'm sure it would be a lot more
fun watching you two enjoying yourselves, than watching a load or pervs doing
pervy things
Dave
- Wednesday, August 27, 2003 at 22:06:23 (BST)
Sally, I agree with you, it was Dave who wimped out. All mouth and trousers I
think! Maybe you and I should meet up ... who needs men to have a good time!
Jen
- Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 23:47:14 (BST)
Morgan, you know me too well to think I really cut down a tree. MY only crime
is standing up to be counted whilst most of the Uckfield citizens are surrendor
monkeys who would rather let 15 year old terraways mug and vandalise than to
stand up and ask them to behave themselves. When I did what I did, there were
three men, all of the ages of about 40 years who simply watched and would not
get involved. I am taking them to task and calling them all as witnesses so
their cowardice will be reported in the local papers. FREEDOM TO UCKFIELD .....
UP THE WORKERS!

Dave, I'm not all mouth (though I've been told I have a nice one). You're the
one who hasn't persisted. I had said before that I'd take you out on the town.
But if it's only watching that you want, then go to the event.
Sally
- Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 10:21:27 (BST)
Lilly, book me in for ring side seat please, since Sally & jen turned out
to be all mouth & knickers I need a bit of entertainment to cheer myself up,
nothing like a bit of peeping tommery for that.

Chris, Thanks for the information about the "old" Buckswood Grange
school in Uckfield. I suppose it was time to tear down another old but lovely
building. What a shame.
Barbara <babs_uk@hotmail.com>

Hi Lilly, didn't know you posted on here. Whens the outdoor event as we would

I now have a job at the Maresfield Massage establishment in reception. You
wouldn't believe who makes up the clientel. Couple massage and group massage are
very popular with an outdoor event planned soon in a secluded area near Rye,
voyeurs will be welcome in return for a small fee

The old Buckswood Grange is currently being converted into apartments and

Bert, even though Agnes is in her 80's, she has the strength of an ox! You
should see her mate. However, my question to her is what was the reason behind
her chopping down this poor old tree??

I know for a fact that none of the Uckfield Town Councillors claim expenses
or allowances, and why are they biggots Betty?

What about so called expenses and allowances. Bigots the lot of them

Town Councillors don't get paid anything ... so maybe they are doing it for
the wright reasons.

I am the human resources director for one of the largest employers in Sussex.
I am afraid it is true that local government employees are either rejects from
the private sector or the unemployables. Much of their time is spent on
pointless courses run by the same type of fools that they themselves are,
qualification certificates are the name of the game resulting in enhanced
salaries for an abismal performance that would never be accepted outside of
government. It is a sad reflection on society that we put up with these idiots
who waste our taxes
Freddy
- Thursday, August 21, 2003 at 11:16:53 (BST)
What about local council officials - no one outside of government would even
consider employing them. They couldn't survive in the big wide world.
Ted
- Wednesday, August 20, 2003 at 22:10:04 (BST)
I must agree, people who become councillors are always the least suited to be
in that position. They actually believe they are serving the community, they may
be weak minded enough to convince thier self of this but not the populace at
large. Most have inferiority complexes and become councillors in a vain attempt
to appear important, how sad they are
Maureen
- Wednesday, August 20, 2003 at 22:07:03 (BST)
Have you seen how much councillors are paid? Other than destroying our
quality of life what do they actually do of value other than pat each other on
the back and fiddle expenses?

Buckswood School - chances are you will find it just off the A259 at
Guestling, between Hastings and Rye, in a very old but very odd looking country
house. The School has been there about three years maybe? Hope that helps.

I have recently bought an etching by the artist A.C. Fox entitled "At
Uckfield, Sussex". It is a beautiful image of a man with some cattle, a
cottage in the background and a large tree on the right side. My parents haveone
of his original paintings which is similar in it's content. I was wondering if
anyone knows anything about the artist. Please contact me if you can help.
Thanks!

Without going into details, I am absolutely fed up with these - Agnes is one
- ancients who have lived way beyond their three score years and ten, setting
out to deliberately feather their own nests without regard to legality and then,
when they get caught, pleading that because of their age they did not realize
what they were doing was wrong.Lock them up in could drafty cells, feed them
just bread and water and with any luck, they will either starve to death or die
of phenomena.

As Agnes is in her eighties how could she have possibly chopped down a 300
year old Holm oak covered by a TPO (Tree preservation order)? The police would
not be envolved as other than being very busy persecuting motorists the chopping
down of a tree covered by a TPO is a civil offence enforced by councils

I thought that I had posted on here a few days ago to answer your question
Agnes.....however, it's not on here, so it must be my old age interfering with
my memory. To answer, if you didn't know what August 5 was, then it doesn't
really matter. How have you been anyway Agnes, you've been awfully quiet
recently. How's the court case?

I protest, I protest. How dare some low life post messages about his
voyeuristic adventures using my name. If I had been the one watching jen and her
husband making the two backed beast, I would have had the decency to introduce
myself and ask if it was o k for me to watch and of course I would have given
advice as it was needed.Sally, I think it will be just you and me: I didn’t
realise jen was married, I never go out with a married women unless she has a
signed letters from her husband, giving her permission to dally with another.Jen,
I'm not bothered if you want Dave all to yourself or if you want to share, but
it sounds like you have your hands full enough as it is!

Jen I know you and husband did rude things in the grounds of Herstmonsuex
Castle... I was hiding in a bush watching you both, yes it was very
exciting!!!!!!!!! - However you were not the only couple at it.
Dave

It's what I've always wanted, two women fighting over me, and believe me

Hello.Can anyone confirm the following rumour. I have heard that a house of
ill repute has opened in Maresfield. After a little investigation, it turns out
that in the back pages of the Friday ad, there is indeed an advert for this
house under the massage escort section with an Uckfield tel number.

To the person who had just moved from Basingstoke - Welcome! Uckfield is
currently on the up in terms of places to eat out. The ever popular Pizza
Express chain has recently opened in the high street next to the Post Office.
The food is of high quality and the restaurant is well designed with a great
outside area. There is also Simply Italian a bit further up the high street
opposite the cinema but the food there is nothing special.At the bottom of the
high street there is the Bell Walk Cafe. During the day it is a bustling cafe
serving great lunches. In the evening it turns into a restaurant and its well
worth a visit!Soon to open is a fish restaurant which is located just off the
high street. It is rumoured to be called 'Phish' and sounds promising!Just out
of Uckfield you have got the Nizam indian restuarant which is an excellent
indian.

aaawww bless you Morgan, always nice to know I can put a smile on someone's
face! Just realised I didn't answer your previous question about where the term
pikey for a gypsy originated. I'm afraid I honestly don't know, but as you said
it made you think of the fish, maybe there is some implication that fish and
gypsy's are two of the same, haha!! maybe it's got something to do with the
smell..........On a totally different subject, I just wanted to say that today
is an exciting day for me as I am just coming up to 30 weeks pregnant. I have
one week left of work before leaving on maternity and then plan to work full
time as a childminder when baby is six months old. We are also moving house on
9th Aug so you could say we are turning a completely new chapter in our lives
and all is going fantastically well. Just thought I'd share this happy news
seeing as some people are hell bent on making such miserable postings all the
time!!

Hi all, well I'm just about to move into the town and thought I should get
the low down on what Uckfield has to offer. I have to say that I have been
sitting here reading through the posting so far, made me chuckle! Nice to see so
much intrest in the town. Bit concerned about these yellow lines however...mind
you I have just come down from Baisingstoke where you have to re-mortgage to
park on the street so shouldn’t grumble. So does any one have any top tips for
good eating places etc etc in the town? Originally from Hailsham so know Sussex,
just don't know Uckfield that well unfortunately. Rgs. Dan

- Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 23:58:49 (BST)
Agnes, what you have heard about the high street is partly true, but it isn't
the whole high street that will be 'no parking' only the area on the left
(looking down the high street) outside Carvils. Its will make the traffic more
free flowing at the lights and hopefully there will be less conjestion.
Jen

Sorry to ne hogging the limelight here but a message for Gypsy Sid, surely
your solicitor can only act on a statement that is untrue?
Agnes SKinner
- Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 00:00:36 (BST)
Thank you Joanne for pointing out the flaws in the Gypsy's argument. I hear a
rumour, a very strong rumour, that Uckfield high street is to be a no parking
zone as from Jan 2004. Can anyone please confirm this?

- Wednesday, July 23, 2003 at 18:48:00 (BST)
P.S No good is an argument if hypocritical. Ask me not to judge you yet in
the same breath are calling me personally a no good poor excuse for a human
being. When exactly did I attack you in such a personal way? Oh I do long for
the day some more intelligent people join this board. Agnes, Morgan, please
write on here again soon so I know I'm not the only sane one left!!!
Joanne
- Wednesday, July 23, 2003 at 09:50:20 (BST)
Oh get off your high horse you bludy wally, hahahaha!!! I was simply
explaining what the term pikey refers to. I didn't invent the word it was
already there. Bring it on with the solicitor........if you can afford one!!!
Joanne
- Wednesday, July 23, 2003 at 09:46:45 (BST)
Common and dirty am I Joanne, how dare you, you ill mannered no good poor
excuse for a human being. You don't know me or mine so who the hell do you think
you are to judge me so.I demand an apology, if it is not forthcoming within the
next twenty four hours I will be notifying my solicitors.

My granddaughter keeps on referring to all the "pikes" that live in
and around Uckfield. I thought that "pike" was meant as in the fish --
shows you how much I know! How did it come to mean a gypsy then?
Morgan Schlitz
- Tuesday, July 22, 2003 at 17:01:07 (BST)
Ha ha!! Sorry Agnes, the word "pikey" is slang terminology for
someone who is common and dirty, or can also be used to describe a gypsy. Hope
this helps!
Joanne
- Tuesday, July 22, 2003 at 09:43:58 (BST)
What are you harping on about Mr G. Sid, I am even more confused now. I did a
search on google and all I could find was the link I have given which described
itself as a 'beat em up for council scum'. It is a game which I will try to play
and will report back to tell you if it is any fun.

Oh dear (blush) Agnes, it was in fact you that called the Broadway a
nightclub but my insult was not aimed at you......apologies!
Joanne
- Monday, July 21, 2003 at 09:46:23 (BST)
Bert, thanks for living up to my expectations!! I knew someone wouldn't be
able to help themselves, LOL!!!! Anyway, I have many times tried to start
interesting topics...hardly my fault if people on here are too dum to respond,
it gets rather boring debating with yourself!! Agnes, the Broadway is a total
joke it's true. It would appear from the days when I used to venture (believe me
this was a LOOOONG time ago!!), that the supposed "bouncers" were just
a load of pikey meatheads with little better to do that start the fights, not
prevent them. However, as much as I see your point about the place being a haven
for P***ed up brawls every weekend...just imagine what Uckfield streets would be
like if all the idiots suddenly found themselves with no place to go in the
evening...there has to be an alternative. Oh, and who called it a nightclub?
Please..get a grip, hahahaha!!! I think it was the same idiot who implied
brighton was too diseased to work in. The only disease I know of is caused by
all the pikey crossbreeding that goes on in Uckfield. Anyone want to carry the
debate on further on what appears to be a divide between Uckfield and brighton,
well here goes: 1. recently on the news, statistics showed that the most
intelligent people in Britain come from Brighton, 2. the musical talent,
festivals, theatre performers, charity events, eco-friendly projects speak for
themselves, 3. in comparison, bearing in mind size, more teenage crime happens
in Uckfield than in Brighton because kids in brighton are presented with many
more options and are given more chances to make something of themselves, 4.
Young people of Brighton are actually scared to go to Uckfield because all you
hear about it vandalism, drunks, and fighting, 5. The main area for violence in
Brighton is the rather too comercial "West Street" where all the
"cattle market type clubs are, and this believe it or not is the main
visiting place for out of towners such as Uckfield or Worthing. Brightonians
tend not to go there anymore because of this. I could go on all day but of
course I know I'll be wasting my breath!! Oh and Bert, of course I have a sense
of humour mate, and I expect you'd have to with that name!!! I'm more than happy
to lighten up if everyone else does, if you really have read through all my
posts then you will see that I merely react to other people on here so I can't
be to blame don't ya think?

Agnes I make my money by not being a lady!!! You would not believe what the
punters expect these days, I blame it on those BBC tv documentaries. Brighton is
far to risky and one cant rely on the NHS for a cure as you are far more likely
to pick up something really nasty (and I dont mean an old pervert) in hospital
than on the Streets. I do home visits in the Uckfield area so any one requiring
a nice evening in please email me.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all but I have been away for a few
days visiting my grandchildren. Reading the postings, it seems the general
consensus is that I tell all I know, with reference to Agnes. However, my own
solicitors has pointed out, that if I do divulge all the facts of the case, I
could well incriminate myself, this I am not prepared to do.

I have looked back at Joannes previous postings and not one is constructive,
in fact she is either complaining or making snidey comments. Why not post
something here of interest Joanne rather than relying on others. As for Agnes
and her little problem it is obvious, as you are the only one to complain, the
majority of people here do not find the subject boring. Joanne find a sence of
humour, get a life and try posting something of interest ..... if you can

I live in Uckfiled and this site does not appear to show the real essence of

buildings in Uckfiled, from Jack in Ridgewood (South of Uckfield)

Joanne, I agree, lets have a constructive discussion, lets perhaps have a
chat about.......????? Oh, I know, lets talk about the Broadway nightclub, I for
one think it should lose it's licence due to the amount of noise and violence it
creates.
Agnes Skinner <aggyskinner@yahoo.co.uk>
- Friday, July 18, 2003 at 17:33:59 (BST)
Oh for crying out loud all of you, either spit it out what Agnes has done or
shut up going on about it...very boring. Uckfield needs help, and all you lot
are doing is portraying it as even more boring and insignificant than it already
is. Why don't you use this site more productively, promote local events, proper
topical discussions, debates, contact with friends? This board would be great
for people to voice their opinions on the things that matter, but pretty much
most of what I've seen on this board in the last year has been one person
bitching about another. First it was Mr Skinner, then anyone who (god forbid!!)
may have a slightly poor word to say about this town (in most cases justified),
and now for the last few weeks all everyone's done is ramble on about Agnes. You
know you should all be thinking about the kind of reputation you are giving the
people of Uckfield, because if you read through these pages, you would thin
Uckfield is just a small boring town, with small boring people who have nothing
better to do than p*** and moan about each other. Now what's the bet someone
replies to this with a snidey remark instead of taking it on board and saying
something constructive for once?..............
Joanne
- Friday, July 18, 2003 at 13:53:08 (BST)
Bert, thank you for your condolances. You're right to a certain degree about
friends, however the reason why we were such close friends is because we talked
to each other frequently. That's what you kids today are forgetting how to do
properly -- all this "texting" business and emails. Well, that's how
we stayed friends for so long. I'm not worried by what Agnes did, you should
have known her in her younger years!!! Boy, do I have a few stories to tell!!!!

I for one am sick and tired of people ridiculing me for something I did in
the good interest of honest Uckfield citizen's. I think I should actually tell
everyone, if it were not for the fact my solicitor has told me to shun any
publicity until after the case, I would jolly well give you the full details.
Agnes Skinner <aggyskinner@yahoo.co.uk>
- Wednesday, July 16, 2003 at 23:07:33 (BST)
To "One Who Knows". There is to much negative information on this
site and within Uckfield and I for one think it will serve no good purpose to
divulge any more details of what Agnes did. In extreme circumstances, and I
believe this to be one, it is sometimes best to keep detailed knowledge within
the small circle of us that know the truth. I think the consequences for
Uckfield would be far to damaging for you to divulge anything here.

cant do it, each time I think of what she did I burst into tears.

Dear Aggie,You should ignore anything that the 'triple barrel' lady? writes.
It sounds to me as if she is trying to live a life that does not exsist! She is
just a very sad person who's real life is SO boring that she has to make one up
for herself. We should give her our pity.I hope you are well and not letting
things get to you too much ... you know you have our support and best wishes.

Lady Bouwels-Boughton-Smithers, I think that your triple barrel name speaks
for itself, you must be the only triple barrelled person living on manor park
estate except for all the newly born Dathaniel Ferrari-Beckham-Eminems. I
suggest you please go back to watching Eastenders and coronation street along
with drinking blue nun wine and try to pick on someone with whom you have a
chance of winning against. I am guessing here but imagine your triple barrelled
surname relates to the fact that you can not hold down a marriage?

are without even considering being politically correct

Agnes Skinner, how you have the nerve to post on this forum I will never
know. After what you did to that poor, poor, no, it is so degrading I cannot
bring myself to type the words. Take heed, listen to a Lady, hang your head in
shame, stay in your hovel, keep quite and out of sight for a year or so and
then, perhaps, the good people of Uckfield will forgive, though we will never
forget what you did to that poor, poor,...

Bert, I'm not so sure -- I was implying that someone used my name on July 2
saying that I was worried. I know that it couldn't have been me because I was in
the States for the funeral of a wonderful friend that I made in the Airforce
during WWII. We stayed in touch all these years. Anyway, whatever it was that
our Aggie did, she will be redeemed.

Morgan yes you are correct, you did find something worrying on the 2nd July.
Perhaps it was the thought of Agnes wrong doing/s. Please dont worry about
criminals as here in Uckfield they are easily recognisable by the blue uniforms
and blue lights on the roof of their cars
Bert

Well it just goes to prove the police force was just as corrupt twelve years
ago when Paul Denham was an officer as it is now. Sadly Paul has carried his
corrupt and lying ways from the police force into his private life, the evidence
shows Agnes to be guilty yet Paul claims otherwise. Agnes would be well advised
to maintain her distance from this man and should remember a Police Officer
version of truth is what ever brings the fastest promotion

Good day to you all,Please let me introduce myself, my name is Paul Delam and
I am a retired policeman. For the last 12 years, I have been an active fundraser
for good causes. I feel that I have to make a stand and start a 'Save our Agnes'
campaign as she is a women with morals and concern for her local community. I am
not asking for donations but I think Agnes needs as much publicity as is
possible, as this will help residents realise that she had their interests at
heart. If any of you have met Agnes, you will know that while she is very strong
willed, she is starting to feel her age (88) and does not really need the
aggrevation that she is currently receiving. I for one am happy to speak on her
behalf to any local newspapers or media that may be interested in our campaign
and would implore them to contact us.I have spoken to Aggy about this yet she
wishes, at present to remain as anonymous as possible. Sure as eggs are eggs,
when the court day comes, she will walk out into a blaze of glory, and it would
be nice if we could hold some sort of party or social occasion where we could
all meet Agnes and perhaps have a chat about Uckfield in general.So, if any of
you have any media contacts, however small or big, please get them to contact me
at saveagnes@yahoo.co.uk if anyone wants to contact agnes direct, mail her at
aggyskinner@yahoo.co.uk as she gets a bit lonely during the day now she is
unable to go out for fear of reprisals.

What did you find that was worrying Morgan? Anyway, I stand by my actions and
trust justice will be done when I meet my maker. Alberto, it is for exactly the
reason that I DO care about Uckfield residents that I did what I had to do.

please? Thanks.

Joanne stop moaning and post something interesting yourself. Agnes after what
you did I just hope you do not criticise Uckfields teenagers, what sort of
example are you setting in doing what you did - have you no consideration for
the other residents of Uckfield and the shame we now feel
Alberto
- Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at 23:53:53 (BST)
You know, Aggie, I had a really strange dream that you deliberatlely broke
public property, ran from the police but you still ended up in jail! I'm
starting to wonder if that was really a dream... Correct me if I'm wrong, my
memory fails me at my age and it appears that I found something very worrying
July 2.
Morgan Schlitz
- Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at 21:40:55 (BST)
Agnes I applaud what you, it took a lot of courage, even that nice policeman
said so as he arrested you. Don't worry, I told the police I didn't see a thing,
oh by the way Agnes, I'm sure you meant to give me that £150, not just loan it
to me.
Hetty
- Tuesday, July 08, 2003 at 20:55:57 (BST)
My oh my, what did I do. I just want to say that for those who know me,
surely you must understand why I did what I did and I am sure that secretly you
applaud me. I have no issues with my actions and will stand by them as long as I
live. Someone has to make a stand, it is a shame that it had to be a frail old
women like me. I will keep you updated.Regards Uckfield,Agnes - 88.

would not be in the situation you are now.

Hello every body. My name is Edith and I live in a Residential care home
because I am 84 and my family can not be bothered with me all except my
grandauaghter Billy who gave me this computing screen and showed me what to do.
No doubt when I die the family will be interested in what I have left them but
they will be disapointed. The care home is more like a concentration camp with
lots of silly rules and regulations, the food is rotten and the careers down
right cruel. I do my best to be as awrkwood and cause as much trouble as
possible, if any one has any ideas how to annoy the guards please let me know.

Agnes if I may be so bold - piles are caused by little animals digging
tunnels just under the surface and pushing up little piles every so often. One
treatment is to stick a hose pipe in the hole and turn the water full on,
another is to stuff an exploding firework in the hole and yet another is to seek
advice from a profesional. A Dahlia stuck in the hole is considered by some to
be most attractive. Trust this advice brings relief

to say something to someone else that she's thinking of them? Besides, perhaps
it is a female companion that Sueis referring to.

Sarah, stop trying to wind people up by saying the Police are doing a good
job when the opposite is true. You must have some connection with the Police or
perhaps the council to come out with rubbish like that. All the Police are
interested in is taking the easy way out by targeting the law abiding
particularly when it comes to the motorist, as for fighting crime forget it. As
Ethel rightly says the Police precept has increased by some 50% but what do we
get in return for our money ...... more speed cameras and "spin"
telling us how well they are doing their job. Do they really think we beleive
them, hasnt it crossed there tiny little narrow minds that the reason they are
loosing the support of 'middle England' is we are fed up with their inability to
fight real crime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounded to me like jeremy was trying to carry
on with Alice's joke? Alice, you said your friend enters by the back door which
implies a certain "gayness" perhaps, which would explain Jeremy's
reply? Think about it! then again, if I'm completely wrong, then both of you
feel free to ignore me haha!!!!!

visiting you, you sound very bitchy.

Ethel, the cctv cameras help the police arrest offenders which must be a good
thing. I think they are doing a good job already. The cameras are being paid for
by the police, local business and the town council. They are not there to take
the place of officers, just to assist them.

you

CCTV is yet another excuse for the police to get out off enforcing the law.
If the Police actually carried out their duties correctly there would be no need
for cameras. Bearing in mind the Police precept is up by 50% surely they now
have sufficant funds to carry out more patrols of the town. Who is paying for
the CCTV?
Ethel
- Thursday, June 05, 2003 at 01:08:03 (BST)
Dear Agnes, the cctv that you want is coming very soon, so hopefully it will
make the people of Uckfield feel a lot safer on the streets and stop all this
mindless vandalism that we get. PS: How was your holiday in Spain?
Sarah

Dear Sarah,I was just repeating what I had read in the Sussex Express. It is
true, I do not really know what I am talking about and do agree that a council
should be more democratic if all parties are sitting on it.I just think that
there was an awful lot of fuss and there is no smoke without fire. Surely a
fairer way for Uckfield, as these people are there to represent us, would have
been to put the vote to us? It seems that by chumming up, they have got on the
board where they would not normally have been, this is what I meant by back
door. Anyway, lets hope that whoever they are, they work hard to improve
Uckfield, hopefully with CCTV!

Agnes, I know you mean well, but you really don't know what you are talking
about. The process was 100% legal and above board, they did not come in 'by the
back door' they contacted the council and were duely voted on by the majority of
councillors. I think it is wonderful that Labour and conservitives can agree
with each other, surely it proves that they are there for the right reasons and
not just to promote their own party, unlike the LibDems seem to want to do.

It seems that this fuss about the elections is justified. I have read in the
Sussex express that the fairest thing to do would be for the mentioned people to
stand down and then make themselves available for election under the normal
democratic process. As for Labour and Conservatives chumming together, I have a
problem understanding this. Are the lib dems really that bad? They seem to do
much for Uckfield which is unseen and at least they believe in democracy. I
think the mentioned people should feel ashamed coming in the backdoor as they
have and that the people of uckfield have the RIGHT to demand the process is
above board and transparrent. Morgan, I also read that article and think that if
anyone is having problems with debt they should try to do something about it as
soon as possible by visiting their bank or local citizen's advice bureau.

Hi Morgan, my debt is not X 14 but X 17. You obviously have no debt so how
about a loan. I have the impression you are a senior citizen so why not run up a
huge debt on anything you fancy and simply dont repay any of it - what can the
lenders do about that??
Brian
- Friday, May 23, 2003 at 22:11:50 (BST)
What a fuss in the local papers about the town council, I think the LibDems
are making themselves look really childish the way they are behaving, I think
the phrase 'throwing their toys out of the playpen' applies here! I have known
Ian and Linda for many years (I have never met Margaret) and they are both very
committed to Uckfield, both have served on the council for a lot of years and
they give their time freely and willingly without always trying o get their
names in the local press. I had no idea which parties they supported until I
read it this week in the papers. Unlike the Libdems who manage to get the words
'libdem' in every sentence. It's time people like Nottage and Whittaker
concentrated on the matters in hand rather than using their time writing press
statements.

I have recently discovered this website as I intended to visit Uckfield in
the near future. I guess the "Dave" is the only person of any real
standing and fame to have lived in Uckfield and that is the reason in your all
consuming interest in him. It saddens me that you are so fascinated by a man who
is so obviously the lowest form of humanity, I was raised to believe the English
had strength of character but now I am not so sure

Joanne, would you rather we were alined with Europe (god help us) or America?
The UK has been lied to and cheated by Europe, particularly the french, since
that rather unpleasant traitor Ted Heath took us into what was then the common
market. Since then we have have lost our fishing industry, our steel industry
and goodness knows what else; we are over run with economic migrants, our courts
are over ruled by the european courts who consider everyone guilty untill proved
innocent and for this we pay the EU £ billions each year. Yes the Bush
administration is 'hawkish' but could Saddam have been left in power much
longer, murdering tens of thousands of his own people each year, without
something being done? If the UK and ultimately the US had done nothing in
respect of Hitler and co you would be speaking German now, that is if your grand
parents / parents had not been gassed, incinerated and the fat from their
corpses used to manufacture tallow. Apeasement just doesn't work - look at
Zimbabwe!!!

Agnes I like the colour of the speed camera, it reminds me very much of the
native daffodil that is now in decline. Before I retired many years ago as
headmistress of a girls grammar school there was a small wood adjacent to the
school full of 'Worsworths' daffodils. The speed camera brings back so mant
memories of better times

Oh pleeeease stop harping on about the Mr David, it seems you are pointlessly

highest visited not for profit site on the net, you would not have to advertise
it quite so frequently. I am sure Mr David would not appreciate you boring us so
much with this shameless promotion if he really is such a clever man. Do you
talk about anything else apart from Mr David? What do you think about the new

Sorry folks but I do not think you are giving Washboard Dave (aka The Late
Sainted Davids) Website a fair viewing. After all his family live in Uckfield
and he spends a large part of his time in our town. If you enter his website on
this web address: http://www.bilbobaggins.fsnet.co.uk/link1.html - you will skip
the first page and be able to follow the links to all parts of the site. Erica
der Engineers link will be of interest to all the ladies, while the link to
Andrew The Apostle will be provide fascinating information on the Island of
Trisan Du Cuna, regular readers here may remember Andrews Church of Fruitfull
Alliance is attempting to obtain outline planning consent for a huge meeting
hall in Uckfield. If you click on my name you will be taken directly to the
website and then you will be able to see for yourself.

Although I am a first time poster, I have followed the varying
discussion/arguments posted on this board for a year or so, sometimes they make
me laugh, cry or very angry. However, the point I would like to make is this:
why has this character Wash Board Dave stirred up such a hornet’s nest? It
seems you ether love him or hate him, he must be terrifically charismatic, is he
a Billy Graham or a Rasputin? Why is it Graham only quotes from postings that
deride him? Not one quote from those postings that support him, I think you are
biased Graham. Having sometime to spare this afternoon I followed the URL link
posted into Wash Boards site, and unlike Joanne, I did not leave after a cursory
glance at the first page. True this Dave is known on the site as The Late
Sainted David and if Joanna had gone into the site she would have found out why.
Nowhere within the site is there any suggestion, other than a general plea for
voluntary contributions, as you would find in any church, that one has to pay
any fees to continue through the site. I saw the old gentleman on his web cam,
free of charge, working at his desk, he was surrounded by books, papers and
documents, and hanging on the wall of his obvious study were a number of gold
discs. I found the site to be extremely authortive, educational, helpful, in
places funny, and above all very non-judgmental. I would recommend that anyone,
before forming an opinion of the site and The Late Sainted David, should visit
the site, you will be pleasantly surprised.

So I did a silly thing and dared to open the below mentioned website, The
Divine Church of Streetism or whatever. I only got as far as the opening page
when instinct and alarm bells came through ten to the dozen. There is a picture
of some self loving man waving his arms in the air (I assume this is the oh so
famous Dave?), and a list of options such as "subscirbing to the streetcam".
Please, this is terrible, do people really truly believe this codswallop? surely
not. It is religious exploitation at it's very poorest. At least all my
questions have now been answered as to who is behind the mysterious (and rather
stupid) name of "Washboard Dave!!I will sleep easy at night now knowing
that by paying this subject no more attention, I will not be missing out on
anything either exciting, or in the slightest bit worthwhile!!!!!!!!

"Late Sainted David"!!!! The site has a link to a true church
"Andrews Church of Fruitful Alliance" founded by Andrew the Apostle -

Joanne, do not believe a word of Luthers post in respect of Washboard Dave.
Luther is in fact Washboards minder: the following two posts detail Washboards
main "qualities" - (1) ""However Washboard Dave was born and
still lives part of the year in Uckfield. Due to Daves noteriety (drug crime,
extorsion, internet scams including corrupt 'churches') his family in Uckfield
keep quite about being related to him. You should be able to tell when Washboard
Dave is in town due to the increased Police presence!"" - (2)
"" Please take extreme care if you intend to have anything to do with
WashBoard Dave, the ex front man of the 1950's group "Dead Cats Guts"
His so called church is a nasty cult and is very much involved in Devil Worship
and Voodoo. Unusualy the 'church' is aimed at the elderly rather than younger
members of society with the main aim appearing to be inciting anachy against any
form of progression or change, for example a group of south coast senior
citizens were organised into a vigalante group that terrorised the proprietor of
a computer shop and ultimately caused thousand of pounds worth of damage. The
propretor of the shop has since suffered a total mental breakdown and has been
judged unfit to give supporting evidence in court to support prosecution of the
offending senior citizens. Washboard Dave is supported by his sister, who has
served prison sentences for fraud, embezzlement and assault, together with a
chap known as Paul Modernator. Please take as my Aunty Edith became a member of
this 'church' and suffered financial losses resulting in the loss of her
home."|"

Potted biography, Wash Board Dave.Born at an early age, 2 sisters, 1 brother
but sisters and Wash Board prefer to keep quite about him, ever family has one.
Early 50s, Dave, with 3 friends, starts skiffle group, becomes very successful,
number of records in top 10. Mid 50s, tours the States, meets Momma Deborah,
accompanies her on her first platinum disc, still friends to this day. Dave gets
involved with married pop star whilst in the states, her husband, a top record
producer at the time, has Dave black balled, he returned to England. Did one
more tour, made one more record, and then disappeared.Un-be-known to his fans
and general public, he went into retreat, after months of deep meditation he
started a movement to help those who have fallen in to a sinful live style and
wish to recant and start a new live.This movement is now world wide with
millions of members. Dave, with help from some of his devoted followers, now
runs the largest non-profit making web site on the net, for those of you who
need moral guidance and help to break away from your addiction to sin.Those who
know him love him for the goodly man they know him to be. Those who lie and
slander him, have never meet him and are afraid that if they ever do, their
dissolute lives will be held up to their friends and family for scrutinyHope
this helps

Luther, Washboard Dave as you rightly stated is well over 60 but looks at
least 15 years older. His comments regarding the over 60's is based on his own
debauched life style, he admits to secretly drinking at least one bottle of R
Whites and consuming 3 WB's EVERY day. Four weeks ago he was arrested for
mugging five 19 to 20 year olds, stealing their mobile phones and unemployment
benefit cheque's and refusing to pay for a haircut. What sort of behaviour is
this for an Old Boy of his age?

- Tuesday, May 06, 2003 at 21:43:22 (BST)
I whish to disassociate myself with the posting by 'Luther', which states
'Lets face it anyone over the age of 60 should have the right to vote taken
away" and all other derogatory remarks directed towards the over sixties in
that posting. I did NOT make that posting, it was, I fear, made by someone with
a deranged mind, who, for what ever reason, wishes to paint me as an unfeeling
cad with no respect for the elderly. This is simply not true. This same person,
it seems, is also out to blacken the name of WashBoard Dave: no where on this
forum can I find a posting from the good man which says, 'euthanasia for the
over 60.s has merit' David himself is well over sixty

Thank you for your apology Agnes and please accept mine also, (refferring to
"old spinster" comment......unnecessary!)You should most definately
not wither away in a cold, horrible flat, I would not wish that on anyone (well,
except maybe the young kids who get themselves pg deliberately so they can have
a nice place to live, and not work or pay a penny their whole lives......ooops,
but then that's a different debate altogether!!!):-)
Joanne
- Tuesday, May 06, 2003 at 18:04:28 (BST)
I would just like to add that I DEFINATELY do not agree with anything
horrible that Luther has said either even if I stood to his defence. If
anything, I think adults of a more mature age should be treated with more
respect, and the pensions they receive at the moment is nothing more than an
insult. Morgan, I can tell by your posts that you are a passionate man when it
comes to war issues, and I would not dream of insulting you by continuing with a
subject on which you clearly have more knowledge than myself. We will have to
agree to disagree, no matter who has all the answers.Please kindly note that I
am aware of Agnes' wish to wipe the slate clean, and I did mention this in my
post, but she also requested a reply from me to her post which called
me/labelled me as, and I quote: "failed lib dem", "ethically
inconsistent", poor "level of intelligence", "ridiculously
worded post", etc etc. She requested a reply and she got it, otherwise I
would have been happy to leave it!!!!!!I hope this will be the end of it, and we
can all look forward to happy postings again, because bitchiness is just boring,
boring, boring :-)

Thank you Morgan and Kerri for your kind words of support. Joanne, it seems
that Luther and I have a clash of personalities and as I am 27 years over my
'sell by date' I would like Luther to tell me what I should do. Should I sit
lonely in a cold flat with no tv or food and just wither away, would that make
him happy? I do apologise for any personal comments I may have made but not for
my opinions. I disagree that I am ignored on this site, infact I would imagine
the opposite is true!So, here is to happiness, Uckfield and living happily way
past 60. One more thing to 'observer' I really am not Edna Brown, I do not know
who she is either!

Joanne, I believe that Agnes has already apologized: "so I apologise to
anyone I have upset or offended and would like the opportunity to wipe the slate
clean."Agnes Skinner- Monday, May 05, 2003 at 23:16:24 (BST)And I don't
think I have to add to what Agnes said regarding the war and Sadam. Just
remember that if want an intellectual debat on the topic, then do your research
before starting. Sentimental hippy? Well, there were loads of those in the 60's
and 70's and our poor veterans suffered because the hippies were full of blame,
even though they claimed to wish for peace. By the way, I've never said that you
were a terrible person, just un-knowledgable, there's a difference. So I
apologize if you feel that my remarks have made you feel terrible, that wasn't
my intention. Luther, Agnes certainly doesn't need to be any more committed than
you. I hope that you live to be 100. Many people over the age of 60 are ignored
and left to die in this country. The government gives us pittance to live off
of, even if we did fight for this country. Finally, Agnes, have a gorgeous time
in Spain. However, you are missing some lovely stolling weather here though.

Agnes, you will see by putting me down, yet again you are doing little more
than proving my point. I was not being hypocritical, I was merely suggesting
what may happen if I were to make an assumption about you as you did with
Luther. You have been very clever to avoid the fact of why I posted to you in
the first place which was to tell you that your message to Luther was both very
unkind and unnecessary. As you suggest below, you would like to wipe the slate
clean. maybe this should start with an apology to Luther then???I may be
uneducated in war, and I may not have the right answers. I just know what I feel
in my heart, as I said to Morgan before. Hence, why I care very little about
your insults to my intelligence. Your retalliation is always personal rather
than factual which is why it would appear you are becoming further more
unpopular with the people who would like to use this site for happy chat and
healthy debate. You need to learn in life Agnes, that not everyone will always
agree with your opinion about things but it doesn't make them any less
intelligent than yourself. Maybe you ought to have a think about why people have
gotten so cross with you. I think if you started to convey your opinions and
answers to others postings without all the cursing remarks, everyone would pay
more attention to you. There may even be people on this site already who agree
with a lot of what you say, but are put off telling you so incase you find some
excuse to bitch back at them, as you do with most. I will ignore your insults to
my intelligence as you don't know me from Adam. I have no bitterness towards you
as I have happiness in my life. To everyone else on this site - it does of
course work both ways. I'm sure you will all agree with me that if Agnes kindly
retracts her unkind statements, we should all do the same.

Lets face it anyone over the age of 60 should have the right to vote taken
away. Think of all the housing that would become available if these people were
all put in homes and basically ignored, they are a drain on public resources
what with their pensions and medica lcosts. Washboard Dave is right when he says
euthansia for the over 60.s has merit. I have put my website on for all

Once again Agnes has come out with a diatribe of hate, I wonder what
motivates this hatred, I expect it would take an army of psychiatrists to work
that out.A few days ago she was attacking WashBoard Dave, posting a plethora of
lies about the poor man. Being the gentleman he is, he chose to turn the other
cheek. However, I think the truth must out and the good people of Uckfield
should have the opportunity to see for themselves what a liar Agnes is,
therefore, I am taking it upon my self to post the u r l of Wash Board's web
site.

Joanne,No, I am not a lonely old spinster, if you cared to actually read this
forum, you would realise that. Also, the sensationalism you seem so intent on
preaching to us all sounds as if it comes straight from the Daily Mirror, I do
think it is acceptable to use a school as a war base, whatever strategically
tactical decisions were made, I am sure the makers were more qualified in their
decisions than you are in your criticism, as for the boy Ali, it is terrible but
war is not pretty and is sometimes necessary. Can you give a viable alternative?
I think you will find that the old Iraqi regime was more evil and more
destructive to Iraq than a few cruise missiles. I expect you were one of the
failed Lib Dems that followed your ginger alcoholic leader up to London to get
ignored by the majority of the good English people who supported this war.
Joanne, you are ethically inconsistent with your criticism, you say I should be
ashamed of talking about Luther’s family background, yet you find it
acceptable to talk about me and my personal life. Again, hypocritical to the
point of making me suspicious about your level of intelligence.One last comment
on your ridiculously worded post, if war is never the answer, what was the
answer for WW1, WW2, the gulf war and the recent conflict? I am dying to hear
your answer as you seem to recommend your self quite highly. Self recommendation
is NO recommendation Joanne. I expect you think the Americans and English should
have tried to ‘talk’ to Saddam? Or should we have waited until he had
nuclear weapons which would have made an invasion impossible and would have
ultimately killed hundreds of thousands of people?I eagerly await your reply.

Morgan, I most certainly see your point. I agree that what our British
soldiers are doing is very brave and they should be celebrated. I also
understand your point of sacrfice. But does it really make that much of a poorly
educated person to know that killing our own kind is wrong? I'm sorry if I prove
to be naive in the light of what "must" be done to stop Saddam, but
again, can you really blame me for wishing they would find another way to stop
him? Can they not just hunt him and his crew down without open fire on the whole
country?Maybe I am too kind natured and too soft for my own good? I will never
agree with war, no matter what reason is given as justification. I'm sorry but
violence of any kind does not bear well with me when it affects innicent people.
My hubby and I are expecting our first child in October, and I am terrified of
the kind of world I have to bring my child into.A sentimental hippy who wishes

terrible person.xxx

Joanne, I hate to tell you this dear, but you need a bit more education. Yes,
war is cruel, but sometimes it is the right answer. I served this country many
years ago so that you and the next generations could have the freedom to live
without being suppressed. I am sad to hear that you think it is okay for us to
continue to allow Sadam from killing and torturing hundreds of thousand of Iraqi
people. Sometimes in this life, we have to take measure in order to instill
peace, and that sometimes means we have to go to war in order for it to get
better. Killing a few in order to save a million, in my eyes, is worth the
sacrifice. I think that our British and American soldiers should get a round of
applause for doing their job effectively.

Joanne you are absolutely correct - war is never the answer. If Britain had
not entered WW11 we would have got rid of those pesky jews, the Americans would
not have joined the war in Europe and you most probably would have not been
born. I would have ruled Europe and maybe the world and murdered everyone who
did not fit my ideal of the perfect human. Yes if Britain and America had kept
out of it the world would not have the problems it has now and the overall
population would have been halved

Agnes, you are a very nasty woman saying those horrible things to Luther. It
was totally unnecessary to make such wicked remarks about his "family
background". You should be ashamed of yourself. In one breath you are
preaching about the right of freedom of speech, and in the next you are
deliberately insulting a man for having his own opinion. If you wish to be taken
seriously in your comments then I suggest practicing what you preach would be a
good start. So maybe you thought what Luther said was wrong, and maybe it was,
who knows? What matters is that you stick to the subject in question instead of
resorting to personal, immature retaliation. Who will take you seriously if you
argue in this way???As for the war and protestors, the people who are against
war and protest are usually very intelligent people who know a damn sight more
about the politics of war than I imagine you do. Yes, Saddam needs taking down,
yes Iraqi civilians need liberating. But by war? No. How many more Iraqi's,
British and Americans dying will it take before people will realise that war is
never the right answer. I suppose you think using an Iraqi primary school as an
army base is acceptable? Or that the 12 year old boy left with no limbs and no
family is all justified in the plight to stop Saddam? Stick to having your
opinion, it really makes no odds, but think before you put others down it only
makes you look very pathetic indeed. You made assumptions about Luther from his
postings...so by the same assumptions I am guessing that you are one of those
lonely old spinsters with little better to do than peer out from behind your net
curtains, putting the world to rights???
joanne
- Thursday, May 01, 2003 at 10:12:28 (BST)
Edna, of course the persecution of the elderly is an important issue. What
makes you think I was referring to that line of discussion?? Luther, everyone is
entitled to their opinion and if people have a problem with Uckfield, then it is
their right to share their views... However, posting unfounded, unjustified
comments is not constructive at all and does not create a base for discussion,
it just promotes bad feeling!!
Jo <j.relf@virgin.net>
- Thursday, May 01, 2003 at 09:46:07 (BST)
Reverent PersilI feel I must put pen to paper in defence of Wash Board Dave.
I cannot understand why so much unfounded vilification of a good man has been
posted here in the last few days. Is it jealousy on the part of Edna and Eddie
that directs their hands to type such lies?The only truth in their statements is
that Wash Board spends a few weeks every year staying with his family in
Uckfield. Although, for many years Dave was involved in the music world he has
never been involved in drugs or in any type of crime. And as far as his family
is concerned, to say they are ashamed to admit that they are related to him is
ridiculous. Now a days Dave is retired from the world of music and devotes all
his time to helping those who have fallen from grace into a pit of sin. His web
site is visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year who need to read
his words of wisdom, help and advice.As I’ve been writing this, I have been
puzzling over the reasons why Edna and Eddie should post such lies about such a
kind and goodly man and I think I have the answer: they have muddled Wash Board
up with his younger brother, who is a notorious con man, drug dealer and petty
thieve, who has, in the past, used Dave’s good name in some ‘scam’ or the
other. Even as a small child, he was known as little b, for obvious reasons.

Jo, you stated this board should be used to discuss important issues. I think
the possible explotation of the elderly of Uckfield is IMPORTANT. I am a
resident of Uckfield and as confirmed by PC Eddie so is the evil Washboard Dave.
I am aware of this criminals surname but will not disclose it as I have no wish
to cause problems for the remainder of his family, particularly his younger
brother who is a really nice person and has done a hell of a lot for this town

Sarah, I agree with you and Jo regarding positive comments concerning
Uckfield but it needs people like you to post more often on this board. However
Washboard Dave was born and still lives part of the year in Uckfield. Due to
Daves noteriety (drug crime, extorsion, internet scams including corrupt
'churches') his family in Uckfield keep quite about being related to him. You
should be able to tell when Washboard Dave is in town due to the increased
Police presence!

Dear Luther,Out of interest, and I am sure that most of the people here ARE
interested, where exactly do you live? And why would you consider yourself not
to be a 'pleb' when you come here and call the people of Uckfield names for no
particular reason. I imagine you are an angry man, why? I am not sure, perhaps
your father left your family when you were young, or perhaps your mother earnt
her money on her back to feed your tiny mouth when you were small, or perhaps
your 'uncle' had his very own special was to feed your mouth when you were
small, either way, do you think anyone really cares about your delusions of
grandeur and self important postings?I suggest you go back to therapy Luther,
you are a man in need of help, remember Luther, it was not your fault, don't

Why, oh why do some people deliberately set out to destroy someone else’s
good name and reputation by lies, half truths and innuendo? Edna Brown’s
posting on this board is a combination of all three.My brother’s – WashBoard
Dave – Sanctuary for Sinners cannot, in the true sense of the word, be
described as a church, it is a self help group for those who have lost their way
in a moral maze beyond their understanding. And to say that the group’ is ‘a
nasty cult and is very much involved in Devil Worship and Voodoo’, would be
laughable, if it was not so far from the truth and so hurtful. 'Church is aimed
at the elderly rather than younger members’, ridicules, on what basis, Edna
Brown, do you write this? The average age of a group member is 37 – if you
wish to dispute this Edna, I suggest you go to our web site, click on statistics
and read through the survey carried out for us by a well known reputable
company, who contact over ten thousand of our members. One of their many
findings was that the average age of a group member was only 37. Again I quote
‘inciting anarchy against any form of progression or change,’ If it were so,
would my brother and I have built, with the help of Paul Moderator, one of the
largest non-commercial sites on the web? I could go on refuting all the other
rubbish that Edna Brown has posted but I don’t think it is worth it: for, all
those hundreds of thousands of good people who belong to our group or visit our
web site know, it is all lies.One last thing Edna, hell have no fury like a
woman scorned, and many years ago, my brother scorned you, is that not so Edna?-

Please take extreme care if you intend to have anything to do with WashBoard
Dave, the ex front man of the 1950's group "Dead Cats Guts" His so
called church is a nasty cult and is very much involved in Devil Worship and
Voodoo. Unusualy the 'church' is aimed at the elderly rather thanyounger members
of society with the main aim appearing to be inciting anachy against any form of
progression or change, for example a group of south coast senior citizens were
organised into a vigalante group that terrorised the proprietor of a computer
shop and ultimately caused thousand of pounds worth of damage. The propretor of
the shop has since suffered a total mental breakdown and has been judged unfit
to give supporting evidence in court to support prosecution of the offending
senior citizens. Washboard Dave is supported by his sister, who has served
prison sentences for fraud, embezzlement and assault, together with a chap known
as Paul Modernator. Please take as my Aunty Edith became a member of this
'church' and suffered financial losses resulting in the loss of her home.

To put the record straight. Like so many young men in the pop industry in the
50s and later, I have to admit that I let my moments of fame go to my head.
Whilst touring the states in the 50s I did have a short fling with a young
married woman, however, she was separated from her then husband, a record
producer, at the time. Today she is a household name, obviously, I am not going
to name her but I will say it was not Momma Deborah. Momma Deborah and I go back
a long way but our relationship has always been platonic and to this day we are
still great friends. Letting out a few trade secrets here, I have collaborated
with her on many of her records as a backing singer, also writing many of the
lyrics, Momma writes all her own music.It has been mentioned earlier that when I
retuned to this country after touring the States in the 50s I started my own
Church: this is true to a point, what I actually started was a sanctuary for
people like myself, who had slipped from their own high moral values and felt
that they needed away back from the slippery paths they were taking. I’m glad
to say that over the years the sanctuary for sinners that I founded has gone
from strength to strength, with many hundreds of thousands of members.If anyone
feels that maybe we can help them, send me an e mail and I will send you the URL
of our web site. I prefer not to leave it here, as it looks like self-promotion.

G'day from Australia!I am undertaking family history research and believe
that my great grandfather, Robert Ellis may have been born in Uckfield around
1860. He married Elizabeth Comber (from Cuckfield) around 1875 in London and
thence migrated to Australia shortly after. The family returned to the UK around
1893 and both parents died shortly after their return.I would like to hear from
anyone who may have information/knowledge of the Ellis family in Uckfield and/or
descendants.RegardsPhillip Ellis

Very interested to see postings concerning Momma Deborah and Washboard Daves
Skiffel Group. Terry is wrong in saying the Dead cats were playing at Folkestone
with Acker Bilk in the 50's when Strangler On The Shore was No.1 as this record
was not released untill the late 60's. Now Momma Deborah was and is a true
sensation, she continues to out sell ALL other recording artists in North
America, each of her releases now numbering over 40 has reached the No.1 spot in
America, the last 11 reaching the No.1 spot on the day of release. Now weighing
in excess of 35 stone!!!, Moma is currently in Iraq tending the needs of
"my boys" and yesterday addressed and performed for the worshippers of
Iraqs largest mosque. Why her records are banned in Europe has never been
disclosed but fans can download many of them from websites

Edith, it is nice to hear your grandson is pro active in his stance against
injustice targeted at the law abiding. Another defence against these money
making scams of Speed Cameras is Expanding Foam squirted on the camera lens
glass and into any unprotected orifice on the protecting 'box'. This foam can be
purchased from most DIY and Hardware shops and comes complete with protective
gloves and extension tubes that in most cases overcomes the need to climb the
camera support pole. Note: paint aerosole sprays do not appear to work as the
paint runs off the glass!

My grandson hangs a car tyre on the speed camera, pours a little petrol in
the tyre and sets it alight. The heat and smoke from the burning tyre destroys
the camera. I wish more of todays youth exhibited such enthusiam to destroy
equipment used by police to extort cash from us

Agnes, the speed camera is there to stay, lets hope it catches some of the
'boy racers' that seem to think it is cool to drive their cars at 80miles an
hour in the middle of town.

I am unsure as to the political motivations of Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia,
I think that great caution should be given before entering another war as I
think the support would be less for any further action. Has anyone yet seen this
new speed camera? Is it temporary or is it to stay?

AgnesI agree with you regarding the Lib Dems, what a wishy washy lot of out
of touch politicians they are. Did you know at their last party conferance a
resolution was passed to ask Osma Binlahden if he supported the motion to stop
the docking of dogs tails - this is true! Agnes where do you stand on Syria,
Iran, Saudi Arabia and the other middle Eastern Dictatorships?
Giddeon

well said Agnes, I agree with you 100% and if you feel the same there is a
book at the civic centre where you can write messages of good wishes to our boys
and girls who have been helping to take down Sadam and his evil goverment.

and I also think Charles Kennedy should be ashamed of himself, not supporting
our war heroes, it just goes to show what a shallow, gutless man he is and I
think if he is the 'leader' of the Lib Dems then they are all quite as useless
as he is.

I think that it is easy for people to insult old people such as myself and
Morgan. I think I have earnt the right to say what I want, if it was not for my
generation, you would all be speaking German and would have to drive Beetles and
salute Hitler posters in the streets. I think you could all do with a good
history lesson. I have no real care that you do not agree with me, this is a
public discussion board and this is a democracy which entitles me to say
anything I want, it is called freedom of speech. I think it is good that the U.S
and the U.K have gone to Iraq and sorted out one of the most evil dictators
ever. I find it quite strange that people went to demonstrate against the war,
have these people no jobs to be at? But, before you say it, I realise it is
their right but they are wrong. The only good dictator is a dead one. Well done
our army boys, you are all heroes.

I too remember the skiffle group, Dead Cats Guts, they were pretty big in the
middle to late fifties, up there with Lonnie Donigan and Nancy Whiskey. I still
have one of their records "Night Time Reaping in the Day" I'm told it
is worth quite a lot of money, I wouldn't sell it though, too many memories
wrapped up in it.There was four in the group, Wash Board Dave played wash board
- what else - and was lead singer, an extremely good looking young man, Cooper
Coot-Man played mouth organ, Webby Webb played double base - tea chest, broom
handle & twine - and Bottle Boozer - one of the weirdest boys I ever saw -
played Gazzo and cider bottle.I remember reading they toured the States and that
Wash Board Dave became involved in some sort of scandal involving a married
woman. When the group returned to this country Dave left them and became a
recluse, later founding his own church, which I believe is still in existence
with a very large following.

mixed up, unless you can 'surf the net' up in heaven! lets hope so!

Running through the messages a few days ago, I noticed a couple of postings
referring to Momma Deborah, the name rang a bell but I couldn’t quite put my
finger on it, until tonight. Watching a music show on T V, where one of the
contestants sang in the style Of Mamma Cass, I wondered if this was the female
the two posters were referring to and mistakenly got the name wrong? Hope this
helps.One of the posters, ‘Wash Board Dave’ asked if anyone remembered him
and his Skiffle Group. ‘Dead Cats Guts’ from the 50s, hated to admit but I
do. Went to see them a number of times, the last time I saw them was at Lees
Cliff Folkestone, they were in the same show as Akka Bilk, who’s recording of
Stranger on the Shore was number one at the time.

Kerri, Ian Knottage is an excentic multi millionaire who made is money from
importing cigarette filters from China. He usually wears a long leather coat
with leather cowboy boots but no trousers, you can usually see about 100mm of
white leg between top of boot and hem of coat. He is harmless but considers
liberal democrats to be wishy washy, not of the real world, fools. He is
sometimes kown as the Old Boy and is often seen off of Rye fishing from a huge
ocean going called "Little Russia", last year he was prosecuted for
using explosives to stun fish but I do not know the outcome of this
Sarah
- Friday, April 18, 2003 at 22:13:34 (BST)
Please can somebody tell me who Ian Nottage is? He spoke to me in the street
this week and told me that I HAD to vote for him to be a Town Councillor, that
the Liberal Democrats want to knock down the industrial estate and build
apartments on Luxford Field. He seems a bit demented and to be honest he made me
feel very uncomfortable. He was wearing a big leather hat and a long coat, is he
really going to be on the town council? does anybody know?

Thank you Giddeon for your comments. I do enjoy this website, it's good that
we are given this right to say what we want here. I think that we wouldn't be
able to "start over" as Sarah suggests, but that it can be improved
upon. I must say, that while the guest book is current, much of the information
seems to be from 2000 - 2002 in this site. Aren't we in 2003? I would like to
know the upcoming events for the Brass Bands.
Morgan Schlitz

Dear all, I think it would be a good idea to start this guest book all over
again. We could aviod things like polatics (I know Lib Dems will find this hard
to do) and we could just have nice friendly comments. No bitching and calling
each other names. Lets try it for a week and see how it goes!

I remember back in the 50s, when I was touring the western states of the U S,
with my skiffle group 'Dead Cats Guts'- perhaps some of the older inhabitants of
Uckfield remember us, we quite often performed at the Lees Cliff Folkestone -
Momma Deborah asked us to guest on her first L P 'Momma Went Blue over You' it
went gold within two weeks. She was and is a lovely lady, we exchange letters
weekly.As Roger, I think it was, says, Momma, is at present, in Iraq
entertaining the coalition troops.If Mark, when he returns to this message
board, would like to leave an email address I will send him Momma's address.

Morgan don't take the messages so seriously, I am sure they are posted in fun
and not meant to insult or hurt. I am sure everyone here has the greatest
respect for you particularly now that we know you served in WW11
Giddeon
- Monday, April 14, 2003 at 22:34:30 (BST)
Mark, how interesting that you should mention Momma Deborah on this board. In
the USA she is famous and has a folk/country following. I read in the London
Times newspaper she has been flown, at the personal request of George W Bush, to
Iraq so as to tend the needs of US troops. Have you tried a search on Google
because at one time she had a very nice website

From someone who lives outside of Uckfield, it sure sounds like you have a
lot more fun knocking each other on the Web than socialising in your own
town...I think you should all meet up for a drink or two and be buddies with
each other! Chill out people - you only live once!. MaureenDiscount Music

I think that the people is this town are becoming extremely unkind. Agnes was
only being a friend to me, and now everyone else is being very rude to her. If
you remember, I said that I was disappointed in the fact that someone used my
name while making repulsive suggestions. I can't believe what the people of this
town are coming to! There used to be a time when we were kind to our neighbor,
as Agnes is to me. You should all take a mirror and look at yourselves,
especially Kerri and Graham. Our generation does not believe that violence is
not the answer to everything! You all need some proper history lessons. What are
they teaching you kids these days? I am very distraught over what is taking
place on this web site. I need a holiday. Would be happy to stay in touch,
Agnes, like minds should stick together.

frustration and reduce your stress levels a bit.Then you could join my band as
we are looking for a drummer! :o)Bill.

Agnes what an arrogant humourless lady you are. Do you really think anyone
could care less if you boycott this board, I for one certainly won't. Yes, why
not start your own membership message board where you can censor posts to make
sure only those with the same point of view as you can leave messages, only
problem is there will probably be only you. It saddens me that you advocate
violence and assault of young adults, thank goodness Kerri is protected in law
from people such as you............ Naomi, why should we convince you there are
things to do in Uckfield, what is your interpretation of things to do?

Agnes, if I was your daughter I would have left home at the age of five and
gone and lived on the streets, anything must be better than having to spend any
time with you. I think it is a great idea to set up another web page ... see you
all there. Good night and God bless you all.
