911wasalie Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 We lived in Margate, Broward County for about 11 years, got hit by hurricane Wilma and moved up near Jacksonville. Still living here very rural and quiet, gets a bit hot but that's it, no Miami types. Nobody drives down to Miami if they can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911wasalie Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yes I was Poppins, born at Meadow Head, my father worked at the Abbeydale works ( Tyzacks ) which is now a musem. We moved to Meersbrook when that place closed down in 1940 I think, because the scythe grinders were moved to Little London Works. I went back 4 years ago to have a look, not impressed I'm afraid, not the Sheffield I remembered, mind I left when I was 18 ( 1947 ) for national service then went on to serve for 25 years. I've been in the States for 16 years but I'd rather be back in Spain where I lived for 11 years on the Sol, now that is a free country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I came to Montreal in May 1968, fell in love with the city. Was moved to the Gaspe, Quebec to take charge of the Electronicsof a papermill in 1972, then to Newfie for a year. Then back to Montreal until the company asked me to move into New England in 1977, first to Chicopee Mass then to Windsor, Connecticut in 1979 where i was awarded a green card, and was finally awarded citizenship in1987. I have now lived in Windsor Locks and East Windsor, Connecticut for nearly 30 years, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuffinel Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Are there any Sheffielders in Michigan? Could do with a Yorkshire friend? How about in Windsor, Ontario ? We're neighbours, depending on whereabouts in Michigan you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911wasalie Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Interesting about Miami. The Cubans running the rackets in Havana sent all their ill gotten gains to banks in Miami and when Castro kicked them out they moved to Coral Gables where they own most of the large houses. The Chief of police is Cuban and so is the Mayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
