Aye lad, I now own land in Cumbria. Only 9 square inches, but it entitles me to call myself "lord".

Was married in the register office near the town centre. Its the oldest one in the country, older than most churches. A mere decade ago though.

We were married in Coventry on February 26th 1983, I remember it as a bright sunny day.

Not in my corner of Pembrokeshire. We have our own little weather system here because of the way the Atlantic winds curl in and it is often dry and sunny when the rest of GB isn't.

I got married on this day as well, but it was 37 years ago.
Congratulations to your parents.

I used to go to Coventry a lot but then I couldn't afford the tickets to see the Sky Blue whippets lose anymore and had to stop.
