Friday 6th June 2008 Michèle, Anthony, Nikki, Stacey and I gather at Kingston Crematorium. It was one of Dad's requests that his ashes be scattered in the same area as Betty's. The last of his instructions were carried out and I was brave enough to help with the scattering. A harrowing experience but I'm glad, neigh proud, to have been so involved. |

Thursday 6th June 2008 Ordered back in March, the new car finally arrives. It's a Renault Megane Cabriolet Coupe 2.0l Privilege Automatic. It has an all-glass panoramic electrically folding roof, beige leather interior, heated front seats, climate control, cruise control and speed limiter, multi-tune point, front and rear parking sensors, folding door mirrors, Xenon headlamps, Renault fitted body styling kit and 17" Wolfrace 'Sion' alloy wheels.
I reckon Dad would've loved it, secretively. |

MY DADDY 12 November 1924 - 12 April 2008 The biggest loss in my life
that is, and always be... my dear father. He continues to live on inside
of me: with his laughter in my mind and his love in my heart. |
JEFF AKERS 7 July 1957 - 19 February 2008 Jeff, a mentor and a friend. A website celebrating Jeff's life, displaying some photos and tributes from those that knew him. We are very grateful to those that have sent a tribute and we can share with you that Mike and Jeff's family are aware of your kind words. It is a great comfort to know that Jeff was loved by so many. |

Thursday 3 April 2008, I was driving in the car and one of the topics on the James O'Brien show was about wolf-whistles. Now, for those that know me, they are already aware that I have a gadget that plays silly noises through a loud PA style speaker, under the bonnet of my car. I just had to call in to LBC 97.3FM and tell them. Wayne on James O'Brien on LBC97.3FM. |

HM-MA-NA AND BI-ECK MAKE A RETURN TO WAYNEALTON.COM Wednesday 6 February 2008 After much discussion and readers request to bring back the hm-ma-na and bi-eck sections, we have decided to resurrect these pages. Click on the photos to go to the relevant page. But only on the promise that you'll help by sending us your mobile captures. Please! |
|

THEMED PAGES Here at waynealton.com we sometimes feature a day out or themed evening, like photos of New Year's Eve or the trip to Thorpe Park, so below, we've resurrected the photos once more and we've listed those pages that would have otherwise been deleted by now. |

FRIENDS AND MORE |
|
This is a page I've dedicated to those who have been near and dear to me and that have passed on. From family members including my Grandmother who died in 1989 to my nephew of 18 months, Billy. Friends Miles, Frank, Marc and sadly missed but so fondly remembered, Jeanie. And now, most recently and missing like a vital organ, my Daddy, who died April 2008. |
|
It's getting bigger you know? Yes, now that the servers are offering unlimited web space, I'm able to upload more photos to share. Hoorah. There's enough now that I've needed to separate them alphabetically. |
|
Another page dedicated to all the cars that I've either had the privilege to drive or ones that I've owned or shared with partners of old. Some of the pictures are of the actual car but of the ones where I didn't take a picture at the time: I've had some fun trying to find a picture that best matches the car. |
|
waynealton.com has its own recommendations page: if there's a business you're after, then have a look to see if we used the same line of work from someone... if they were fab, they'll be on this page! |
|
I would like to remind our infrequent visitors of the "PREVIOUS QUOTES" page. Some folk have contributed to waynealton.com over the years without even knowing it! The Previous Quotes page is all about either whacky, hysterical, inappropriate or just plain beautiful statements that have been said by those near and dear. |

This area is either for files that have been asked for, documents of interests or freeware/software considered useful. |

events and days out |
 BROOKLANDS MUSEUM AND MERCEDES BENZ WORLD 11th June 2008 Jezz and I try new places to go to that aren't too far away or too expensive. So, we went to the Brooklands Museum and then back in the car for a short drive to the Mercedes Benz World. It was a fab day out, the weather was ideal, Jezz had organised a packed lunch and we both took photos of the day. |
|
29 June 2007 Having taken around 60 photos at London Zoo on Friday (29 June), we've uploaded them to an album of their own. I went with Jezz, his Mum Joan and sister Hayley. |
|
11 November 2006 A proud day for our family, Nikki my sister marries Paul Caiger. The service was at Morden Registry Office and the reception was at The Grange, Beddington. On the menu was pie and mash and I even managed a speech, through a shaky voice and nerves. |
|
8 April 2005 Jezz, Pete and I set off for a weekend away in Brighton and to meet David Wallis, now nicknamed Daddy David. |
|
16 September 2004 It was Jezz's threat for me to get on an aeroplane or go to a theme park and do the rides... the rides one, at the time. I'm proud to say I've done both - however, with no satisfactory conclusion to either! |
|
25 December 2004 Just a few photos that were taken on Christmas Day 2004, when we all gathered at Nik's for Christmas lunch. |

BIRTHDAYS |
|
12 March 2005 Awe.. you're not going to believe this but she arrives drunk and leaves completely wasted. This collection of photos was taken across two days, the meal at Park Place, Mitcham with the family and the friends bash at the Butterchurn pub, Sutton. |
|
12 November 2004 Celebrating the ripe old age of 80, we take Dad to the Kelong restaurant, Purley Way, Croydon. Special guests appearances from Mike and Rose complete the evening wonderfully. |
|
21 April 2007 The links below will take you directly to other pages. The first is a link to a page where I have said a few words and thanked everyone for coming and their gifts. The second, is a link to en-snips and around 23 pages of 139 pictures taken by a few people and the last is of the family meal at a different Beefeater restaurant.

For those that know me well enough, you'll already be aware of the rants and orange soap box style speeches I've blurted on about ever since paying for my BT phone bill in a monthly budget way. For those that don't know... it's £23.85 per quarter for BT Anytime Calls (formerly known as Option 3) and should include all calls made in the UK excluding mobiles (which are now only 5p per minute). Well, respectfully, it's not bad and it means that you can pretty much budget for your landline bill by paying a few pounds extra to cover the cost of that odd mobile phone call you made. But, around the same time, there was this sudden surge of 0870 and 0845 numbers popping up everywhere to replace the old geographical phone number for companies. Typically, my ISP and my bank were the first two and sure enough, building societies and other numbers I called regularly were joining the 0870 parade. So, imagine my delight when an old pal, that's as in she's old and a mate of mine, Sarah Williams, informed me of this new website. It's brilliant! You can use the site's search engine to locate an alternative number that would be either geographical or even an 0800 equivalent. It's possible, using their search facility, to look up an existing 0870 number that you have in your phonebook to find an alternative number without knowing the name of the company. It's excellent.. go to it immediately... start using it and spread the word. and think of this... it could be saving you up to 9p per minute for every 0870 you used to call. |
