Forest Side Fred

A few miles from us is a place called Forest Side. It is not much more than a hamlet with little reason to go there so, of course, none of us have apart from some very infrequent times. I was at school with somebody who lived there but have had no other connection with the place. It never comes up in conversation at home, why would it?

Imagine my surprise yesterday when Fred asked how long he was going to have to stay in to wait for the bloke from Forest Side.

It turned out that he meant the wheelchair engineer and he comes from Worthing, with the wrong parts!

Funny the obscure places that stick in our mind. It must have had a significance for Fred, Sharron. :-)
