Once again I love tiger's bay Belfast, but living here in Brampton ont Canada I see both sides of the troubles, I'm so sad that leaving northern Ireland has give me a new perspective,, I drink in a great wee pub here and everyone gets along with each other, it's called Maguires and we all got along until Glasgow rangers f.c won 55 , (onlyjoking), but we laugh and friends are all Canadians, Irish North and South, Welsh ,English and as I'm Ulster Scottish I'm proud of myUlster Scottish upbringing, but I wish all people who are nice to each other all the best of luck in life.
North Belfast born, lived at north derby street and later 24 Jellicoe drive until 1977 when we moved to 74 Sunningdale park. Our family was Spratt , my mum who married Frank Hamill a buyer in the Belfast CoOp. My mum worked as a clerk at FB Mckee builders, shore road. I went to Seaview primary school. Thanks for posting.
