Is it bad manners to ask about Terry Blackburn in Gibralter, what has happened to him, have not seen his name on the boards for ages, his military knowledge is missed, regards to all, Derek in France

Derek No I don't think it bad manners, after all he may well be pleased you have contacted him.If he isn't then I assume he wouldn'y reply. Good Luck if you do. Lynda

I've seen someone posting as Name 'on the Rock'. Could that be him? Can't recall the Name tho' Pauline

Hi Derek, If you enter Terry Blackburn in the Quick Search to the right, 3 entries come up. Two are to email other people about a person of that name, and the third one, born in 1972 is to email Terence Blackburn jr himself, so I would assume that's him, and try emailing him. He would probably be very pleased to have someone enquiring about him. Good luck, Di.

I agree with Lynda and Di....I'm sure he would be pleased to know you were thinking of him....how could one consider that to be in bad taste? I know I would be flattered to receive an e-mail knowing, first that you noticed I hadn't been around and second, the fact that you cared enough to check up on me! Judy:)

Hi Derek & averyone else. I am indeed flattered !!!! I've not been away though. In fact I posted a reply here yesterday and always check GC on a daily basis. Thanks once again for your concern. That's what makes GC such a good site. Best wishes to all Terry on the Rock

Morning Terry, looks like I started a hornets nest, you have to have changed your name, and this dinosaur didn't kop to it. However I visited the rock in Jan, tried to find your tel no. from along the costa where we had a 3 week break from France, but to no avail. So instead we visited the shops including Safeways, bought a camera that frightens me, and had fish and chips in the "ropery"square? Not bad, better than nowt.Hey, we'll be back next Xmas, don't go away, best wishes, Derek in France
