French Car Forum

Hi all my name is Paul and I'm new to this forum. I drive a 2003 Citroen Xsara Picasso Exclusive, I like talking to people and hopefully make new and great friends. I enjoy getting my hands dirty when it comes to car repairs but I do ask for help and advice before I try to do any repairs. I live in Somerset and am a Manchester United supporter, I have a good sense of humour and do enjoy a good laugh.

Welcome Paul

What part of Somerset? I was born and brought up in Langport although not lived there for nearly 40 years now. Still got rellies there and visit every few weeks...

Hi CitroJim thankyou for being my first person to have the pleasure to talk to, I live in Yeovil.

Excellent

Not so far away then, are you a true local Paul?

By that I mean born and brought up there

Unfortunately no im not a true local as I was born in Manchester but due to my dad changing jobs we moved from Manchester to Bridgewater in 1972. Lived in the south west since 1972.

That's local enough for me Paul It's a bit like me. I've been up here for the past 39 years and I'm nearly regarded as a local now

I know Bridgewater extremely well. We used to shop there when I was a kid and passed through many times on the way to Blue Anchor near Minehead where we had a caravan by the seaside. Happy days

Latterly my mum was in a nursing home in Bridgewater...

Used to visit Burnham On Sea a lot when I was younger loved playing in the sand dunes. My mum used to work at Bridgewater Hospital and my dad was stationed at Bridgewater Police Station. Used to live on Bristol Road and every year watched the carnival outside The Cross Rifles pub.

Hang on! You were born in Manchester and you support Man Utd?

Is that allowed??????

Yes, provided you also move out of Manchester. There are (apparently) only 3 known Man U supporters living within the M60.
