IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

Topic : silsdener??? |
|
| rotter |
wat makes you a silsdener? rotter, "I didn't know silsdeners" required to be put in the "For Sale / Wanted" catergory! - never mind I have moved the topic to something more suitable  Please start new topics in the correct forum or I may not be so helpful next time and just delete the thread. Thank you Peter |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) to be a cobbydaler u av to be born and bred and lived all your life (so far) in silsden or so a certain cobbydaler tells me |
|
| alan |
I was told that your great grandparents have to be burried in the graveyard there............  |
|
| robin |
As I understand it to be a Silsdener your Grandparents need to have been born here. |
|
| robin |
quoteliving there? Good point, 'living there' not just residing until the property prices rise. Other Thoughts: Regarding Silsden as your home. Being prepared to put something back. Not seeing Silsden as part of Keighley. |

Other Thoughts: 1) Regarding Silsden as your home. 2) Being prepared to put something back. 3) Not seeing Silsden as part of Keighley. 1) i do its great here the perfect balance of village style life but big enough to be able to get what you want without having to drive to the shops 2) i try to help out were i can 3) no chance i put silsden w yorks and postcode when writing address nothing to do with Krapley here |

I am from K-E-I-G-H-L-E-Y Pumba and plenty of family still live there, i know you are not refering to them particularly but don't genralise too much....please. |
|
| pumbajunior |
i have friends who live in keighley workmates etc doesnt mean i dont like them just the place im not keen on |
|
| Keith Lemon |
Hmmmm....? Surely the people are what you don't like about keighley? If you took some undesirables characters and put them in Gargrave or connonley,(or a nice place of your choice), would you then dislike those places? |
|
| pumbajunior |
probably fair point i suppose its like people on here slagging off the youth of silsden when its probably about 20 at fault and the other say 2000 are perfectly fine and cause no trouble i dont know your family im sure they are wonderfull people as are alot of people i know personally who live in keighley there again most of them say keighley is not a very nice place |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Me, like Bob T Born here in Silsden (not Victoria) went to school here, lived here all my life so far, parents also. Daughter born here, Grandchildren born here. I could go on, and if I want to I will, cos thats my right (joke) |
|
| skippy |
guess who else |
|
| Bob T |
Silsdener ? any body can be a silsdener, open a shop ,get on the council or spout on a local forum, but a cobbydaler now, thats something different ,money or time cant buy that ,how then can you become a cobbydaler ? you cant, you have to be bred here ,so is this the end of the debate ,i wonder ,come on silsdeners you may want to be a Silsdener but youll never be a cobbydaler |
|
| robin |
we're taking this to a technical level, ar'nt we Bob, I understand you though. onyroad you know I am as much a cobbydaler as wot you are. As to Skippy. I remember you being born. |
|
| pumbajunior |

|
| coby1 |
bob t skippy robin is airdale in silsden |
|
| alan |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) quotebob t skippy robin is airdale in silsden Even I, an offcumden, knows the answer to that is no. Doesn't a REAL Silsdener have to be born in bed at home in Silsden?  |
|
| Bob T |
Thas dead reet wi that info Alan spot on |
|
| pumbajunior |
so in a few years time there wont be any cobbydalers then as pretty much everyone is born in hospitol the only cobbydalers will be new age hippies who wont a natural water birth in the beck or something hahaha |
|
| coby1 |
Alan right again in`t he bob t |

quotebob t skippy robin is airdale in silsden When my daughter was born the registrar insisted that Airedale was Eastburn. Now they call it Steeton, |
|
| skippy |
clown didnt you know SILSDEN is in airedale  |
|
| alan |
Think the mix-up is that some are referring to Airedale as in the hospital, as opposed to the dale/valley. Think I understand what I'm trying to say, but I'm only an offcumden p.s. Both the kids were born in Airedale (hosp) though |

Silsdener, tight,must have been born there, must have worked in one of the mills, must have eaten one of fred bottomley's pies, been served a drink by john spencer(the queen) must have known harry humpass,nelson holmes,george woodhouse etc but most of all be kind to all, always say how tha doing, if a fellow silsdener needs a hand then give them one and last but not least be proud of our little town and all that live there of cum duns or not. |

| robin |
quoteclown didnt you know SILSDEN is in airedale Sorry should have made it ultra clear, by Airedale, one meant 'Airedale General Hospital', any confusion greatly regretted. |

when I stood on the railway bridge it was the the thames clyde we waited for,true Silsdeners used go to the 7 hills or the river cobby in front of the dump on a sunday,we all used to build are own bonfires mine was up the tip, we used to play in the beck ole and swim in the river (at sandy banks)ah the good old days when kids went out in the morning and did not come home till dusk (safe and sound) |

Race down Dradi road on flat carts made wi pram wheels, or down path on a roller skate and an old Beno book as a seat, think Roy Grop was the man to beat on't old skate. |
