In sunshine it seemed a pleasant spot..we drove past Sledmere where his mother went to a ball on her 21st..we still have her dance card! That was a long time ago!

I was given the nickname "Batman" not because of my superheroic tendancies but because of my strange fixation with sleeping with cricket bats. Linseed oil, no. Cum, yes. Nice town, by the way.

Matt Smith <mattjsmith00@hotmail.com> Driff, - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 22:42:54 (GMT) It is classic stuff that Driff has a webshite.....erm....site. But we still need a couple of things yet: 1) McDonalds 2) Any record shop 3) Somewhere I can buy guitar strings 4) A famous person As I have cunningly kept back my identity, only my friends know who I am so any insults will have to go to this email address (which I never use!).

If anyone remembers me leave a message on the driffield website. mandy mallory(nee Waldron) Middleton on the Wolds, england - Tuesday, February 20, 2001 at 16:22:14 (GMT) I grew up in Driffield in the last millenium. Learned many valuable lessons prior to signing up and going abroad. Been around the block a few times now and learned a whole load more, but still consider that place up North as a childhood home. I hope that all the people that I knew/know are doing well or are at least happy. This website certainly proved to be a nostalgic trip for me. One piece of advice that still rings true "Be careful, it's a jungle out there".

June Borg. <rawiria@hotmail.com> Melbourne, Australia - Monday, February 12, 2001 at 10:13:00 (GMT) even Driff has it's own web site never thought I'd c the day. I lived in Driff from '80 and left in '89 at the tender age of 10. The only teachers I remember are Mrs Marshal and Mrs Crawford from Northfield Infants and Mr Stanway and Mr Bryant (headmaster) at Juniors. I don't really believe there are any of my old friends still around, I was there the other week and didn't c any familliar faces. When I lived in Driff it was the drugs capital of the north which isn't something to be proud of but, for some reason, it always feels like home and the memories of the BMX track and Top and Bottom Park are still fond as well as Kings mill and Driff Beck. A place is what u make u of it, u decide u r own level of involvement and basically my opinion is worth the same of everyone else's F*** ALL. becky mcneil (nee willett) <nhopwood1@freeserve.co.uk> york, britain - Sunday, February 11, 2001 at 21:24:14 (GMT) Hi every one...its a lovely australian hot summers day about 35 degrees..was checking to see if any one knows..Norman Rodgers from Nafferton..and the Ruston Parva area..he is my father...his uncle was a painter in driffield and also a verger in a church...love to hear from any one...Have a half brother and sister in the sheffield area also dads first marriage...love to also here they are in their 50's surname rodgers...kind regards...Dad also played cricket and soccer for nafferton he was one that one the driffield an x1 cricket team in 1947 have a nice pick of all the team..kind regards Janet howard alias rodgers..:) janet howard (rodgers) <quill@mail.mdt.net.au> australia - Sunday, February 11, 2001 at 05:55:13 (GMT) Just to say we are very impressed with your website.

If you think you may be able to help please e-mail me. angie <colwell@foundation.co.uk> uk - Wednesday, February 07, 2001 at 11:37:29 (GMT) Well I live in Middleton on the Wolds (which is actually on the Wolds unlike Driffield). It's great to see my village up on a website - well done Mr Percival Sir. Driffield doesn't suck - but it slurps a bit. Glyn Gaunt Glyn Gaunt <glyn@gaunt98.freeserve.co.uk> Middleton, UK - Tuesday, February 06, 2001 at 06:24:22 (GMT) A very well thought out and out together website. All Driffielders should be proud. I would just like to mention a site for Yorkshire expats that are scattered throughout the world. It's a place where we can brag about coming from Yorkshire, argue about which town or city has the best football team or talk about owt and nowt. The address is: http://www.yorkshire-expats.com Thankyou, Rita Rita Goldthorpe <ritagoldthorpe@hotmail.com> Dallas, USA - Wednesday, January 31, 2001 at 20:24:32 (GMT) It's all I can do to not piss myself laughing at this website. I went to school in good old Driff from 1990-95 and I can honestly say I shan't be going back. Virtually everyone I was at school with was really desperate to leave so they could go and work on the tills at Tesco. Well, if that's your idea of a fulfilling life, kids, you're welcome to it. Funnily enough, all the people that I stay in touch with from my time there don't live there anymore either. How peculiar.... John Spacey <johnspacey@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, January 30, 2001 at 15:00:26 (GMT) Hi, I'm from Driffield originally now I live in Hull. I was born in Driffield and went to school there. I still remember many names from school and the teachers too. I wonder if many remember me? if anyone likes to e-mail, everyone is welcome to.I left school in 1984. From Debbie Burton. Debbie Burton <debbieburton11@hotmail.com> Hull, East Yorkshire - Monday, January 29, 2001 at 22:25:28 (GMT) - Saturday, January 27, 2001 at 23:02:15 (GMT) Hey guess waht dude's! Yes!

WE SOLVE ANTHING!! Err, no contract killings please ....we don't hvae our license yet sorry! Johnny Laverac <Laverac_wineguard@Yahoo.com> Driffield, UK? - Saturday, January 27, 2001 at 15:33:23 (GMT) ok DRIFFIELD...to start with i think johnny laverac (further down the page) is right what does the butcher sell in that shop it's true there is never any meat in the window or anywhere for people to see...and there is the small issue of that really really dreadful clock in the market place not only did they put it up at the wrong time. It's a victorian styled clock and it marks the millenium how!!!! And it is true you can get out of driffield if you try really hard!!! laura <laura_sunley@hotmail.com> driffield, england - Thursday, January 25, 2001 at 16:02:13 (GMT) I LEFT THE DRIFFIELD AREA ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO AND I BET IT IS STILL COLD AND THE BEER IS WARM ON SHOW DAY GEOFFREY SHORT <geoffreyisshort@cs,com> Notting Hill, ENGLAND - Sunday, January 14, 2001 at 15:32:07 (GMT) I discovered your site while trying to follow up some other old East Yorks. connections, and it has certainly brought back many a fond and happy memory. I lived in your neck of the woods in 1985/86 (in Brid, though - sorry!)and came in to Driffield School regularly twice a week as a German language assistant. 'Hi!' to anyone who might remember me ... Johannes Schneider <Fasi@gmx.de> Stuttgart, Germany - Sunday, January 14, 2001 at 14:53:42 (GMT) Visit the 24-seven Web site for your chance to win some great prizes 24-Seven Mobile Discos <enquiries@24-seven-discos.com> - Friday, January 12, 2001 at 16:03:48 (GMT) What a great site, the best laugh ive had in ages. Can you tell I'm from Driffield/Wetwang some thing about small things and small minds! I left driff in september to go to the uni of Kent in Canterbury but I have to say I miss Driff, to start with at least I understood what people were saying these bloody Southerners talk a diffrent language. I think every school in England should be made to teach Yorkshire as a second language up to GCSE level, cos as one of my old teachers said we're not English we're Yorkshire. I have to agree with the majority that Driff does not have the best night life, in fact I only did it once and that was enough to make sure that all my nights out were in Beverly or York even if it did mean my poor mum coming for me at 2 in the morning (I have to say that bit as I need her to send me some money being a poor student) As for that clock I'm not even going to waste my time on it, the thing didn't even tell the right bloody time for months. I must go now, rember that there is a great big world out there beyond Driffield school,Thomas the bakers and Hooters but still Driffield has a lot to offer (even if we can only cop with it once every 10 years) Marie Wilson <Muz@hotmail.com> Wetwang/ Driffield, Englang - Thursday, January 11, 2001 at 19:02:06 (GMT) Does anyone know Gemma Seed that lives down Yorklands!!

If you remember, I established the country's first sea bass farm out in top acre yon side of Gembling. I had many a happy time taking the muck spreader down to where the Gypsys parked on the Brid road, and pulling the wagon on the back of my tractor on a bank holiday monday. Those wessies in their caravans loved me. Driffield will live forever in my heart, but Millenium Clock..... why?
