EARLY in the 1970s when I was working for WH Smith at their head office in Holborn, London, a young girl was transferred to our office from Swindon.
Her name then was Corrine, and her parents lived at Stratton St Margaret. My name then was Patrina Day, and I lived in Rainham, Essex.
We got on famously for a number of years, while she was in London, and even when she returned to Swindon to marry Bruce Smith and set up home in Old Town.
She became pregnant and had a lovely little girl, who I became godmother to. Regrettably in time we have lost touch.
Twenty years on and I have now remarried and live in Newbury, Berkshire and often think of Corrine and our friendship, especially when I shop and visit friends in Swindon.
If anyone could put us back in contact again, I would be very happy to hear from her.
