A creative idea Emily. It has produced a disjointed poem that is grounded by the explanation of the title. Enjoyed it. Win x

Janet, thank you for your lovely comment, and the simple answer is, I don't really keep up with them all, their names just seem to remain like faint memories of times I'd like to remember.

And Jeff, the 'Bench in Levenshulme' is probably not as exciting as you think!

What i'd like to know is how the hell you manage to keep up with 60 people on your contacts list.
Great descriptions though. It's made me want to do somat similar with those with the same name. (whose surnames i don't know.)
Great idea. i like this one. Janet.x

That's great. They promote discussion and poke the embers of creativity with burnt nobbly sticks.
How about a poem or three?

Again, original thinking. Your creativity is bringing something new to the table.

"I don't understand". Is this not four words
if we count the contracted negation?!

I'll get mi' coat...
