    We are in a better position than we were in 1992 definitely. The ground is far more developed for one thing.

    However I think we were in a better position in 2002 than we are now...

    [cite]Posted By: JVL[/cite]Henry's reminded me... I've always wondered who that, um, mature woman was with teh robin and bird's nest hat affair getting very emotional about the return before Roger Alwen opened the gates.

    Anyone remember her?

    That was Gwen King.

    She was the Valley Party candidate in Abbey Wood alongside my brother Alex. She polled 347 votes and Alex got 341 (who were the 6 people who didn't vote for both?)

    Sadly Gwen died a few years later.
