My Dad was a railway signalman, at Nottingham Victoria and later when the station closed, on the Nottingham to Boston line, he kept a note of all the trains that passed and drivers if he knew them in a notebook, I have 56 books filled with his notes, and I am wondering if I should donate them to York, train museum, because even though I cherish them, all they are doing here is gathering dust, in my attic......

Don't know whats all the fuss about i was only 'NAILING' my new Satellite dish up, #1

The tax disk was scrapped in France in 2000, the government just added a few cents onto the price of petrol, so you now pay as you drive,

Seems a strange thing to do really... A traffic warden casually walking along a line of traffic would easily spot an untaxed, or out of date tax on a vehicle. What will they do now, get a little scanner out? My Mother was a stickler for obeying the law and the following is true. Once, in the 1960's, when they were on holiday in Wales it was that warm the sticky stuff on the underside of the holder dried out and the tax disc kept falling off. My Mother held it in place everywhere they went. Eventually it stayed in place, but on the way home (in the dark) it fell off again. She picked it

went into the Sherwood manor ,sherwood for meal counted 12 puschairs kids were actually using their scooters throughout the pub.walked out and went to Weatherspoons,,,,,,,

Don't give our Politicians any ideas! MORE Extra tax at the pumps MAT (Mileage Added Tax) + Keep the Vehicle Excise Licence!

I think it would be unfair to call this clown a Builder, that would be insulting to proper builders. He must be a stupid D.I.Y.er to try this. Timber for the ladder retrieved from a nearby skip & used to make said ladder. I can't make my mind up just yet which is the more stupid, the homemade ladder or standing the bleddy thing on a conservatory roof ! Sometimes I really do despair of the antics some people get up to.

At Aslockton box the signal men had a garden and in-between trains they gardened, this was possible because there was a warning bell, fitted outside the box.

Its crap now tho....no sideshows around the edge and all big plastic rides now.

The evening post should be free.

And thanks Melissa,

The Long Eaton Chronicle The Topper The Recorder is now defunct (I think)

This morning I went for my operation And nervously waited with apprehension As I sat down in the big black chair I closed my eyes and said a prayer Nervously I asked him for an anaesthetic But he told me not to be so pathetic With scissor, razor and clippers on head and neck Soon he made me feel like an utter wreck And in practically no time at all Onto the floor my hair did fall Despite all the trauma and stress The operation wasn’t free on the NHS Feeling light headed I struggled up the road And it took me ages to get to my abode I sat in my chair and looked through the drapes

I can't understand why they don't do that here, probably coz they'll lose a bit of control of us..

Thanks Lizzie..

She's Gone How empty lies the life not whole, When grief pervades the yearning soul, Devotion now but memory, Gone forever, her from he. Dearly 'twined for many years, Through good times and through the tears, Where love had no known substitute, Joy that none shall e'er dispute. Our time on earth is brief in measure, Find one to love and to treasure, Adore her 'til the very end, And then rejoice 'twas thus, my friend.

#13 Yes I remember Don Lilley. A very good rider. A bit older than me, as was Lin. Lin was a real star on the grass track. He wore a striking racing vest that had big stars on it - way before it's time in those days of drab cycling clothing. btw Lizzie - have been looking through some old result sheets and found one where John Aslin beat me by a few seconds in a 25 mile TT held in 1961. He was 6th and I was 7th out of 120. He used to come to the grass track meetings too. Little did we know at that time that he would compete with some of Europe's best pro riders later in his career.

#71 Apparently she had a tender behind.....

You'll get something stuffed through your letterbox.

I prefer stupid !

A brave fella if anything

Kids should be @ home eating tea having a bath & going to bed not in pubs. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Toddler-cut-knife-pub-play-area/story-22819418-detail/story.html

The ladder rungs should be a bit closer together,save him from stretching when climbing it Rog

must have had the special with iron filings and gunpowder, often given to drunks who shout and call all the staff Abdul, "We no want that man in here again, give him burning bum curry!"

Hope none of you used the 'KYBER PASS'

Just found this topic and can confirm that the Koh-i-Nor (Just below the bank on Alfreton Rd backing onto Peveril St.) was the first in Nottingham. The owner was Mr Udin and his son, Royce Udin went to Berridge and was also in the scouts with me. The resto was operating before 1950. There was always speculation about Mrs Udin - being white but Royce was almost black like his dad. Really nice lad was Royce. About 30 years ago I went in for a curry and asked after Royce. I was told that he had returned to India and was a very very very rich man.

Forty Bridges AKA Giltbrook Viaduct on the GNR Awsworth Junc. to Pinxton line was very picturesque. Pity that had to come down.

When I was a kid (which I suppose isn't that long ago) my dad used to meet my grandad for a pint, but my brother and I were NOT allowed inside - we had to sit at the outdoor tables or play in a play area. If we wanted to speak to them, we had to stand in the doorway to the bar area and try to get their attention. I was told it was the law, but I suspect my dad knew we wouldn't question it!

Why take a child into a pub ? There are things called restaurants for food, leave the drinking to the adults and the children to the grandparents....
