There wasn't a standing ovation then!!

Don't forget his sister Penny Lane, who also had a song written about her.

Mention of Arnold Lane, reminds me didn't he have a strange hobby?

It's true the trams are earth return and there is quite a spike in ground current as they pass but due to the nature of ground and some strategic resistors it quickly dissipates. It is neither AC nor DC, it is impulse current but I don't suppose your bugs are too concerned about that.

Many years ago, on a business trip to Germany, I was inveigled to go to a night club where, much to my surprise, they had a live sex show! The place was full of dirty old men looking extremely furtive. The poor guy who did the act looked worn out and I don’t think he appreciated my shout of ‘encore’ at the completion of his performance!

The currents you are referring to are the Telluric currents that have many causes and flow with the earth and also upwards towards the sun. On a fine,clear day about 2 picoamps per sq mtr go skywards...

Arnold Layne, Pink Floyd;

Beekay, Several of my lectures at the tech were held in the old University College building on Shakespeare St (the laboratories/room at the end, right, when facing the building). From there we had a good view of the Clinton, also the Registry Office and the Synagogue. I went in the Clinton once - that was enough, thank you very much! Several years later (when working at Gerard's) I found out that a number of the "ladies" working on the soap packing lines had secondary employment at several places including the Clinton Arms, as strippers at the Old General on Radford Road and outdo

Picture the scene. Group of spotty-faced City Treasury employees on a night out, dragging yours truly out on his first night out with this lot. Kick off in the Dolphin at 5:30 straight from work. Then down to the Clinton Arms for one of their "gentlemens evenings" My mate Tim decided that a better view was to be had from the window sill. Slipped on the spilt beer, and dragged the curtain down as he fell. We all got chucked out, and I didn't set foot in there again. Did go into the one halfway up Sherwood street - what was it called? One lunchtime, a tall lad in a big black coat

Apparently he collected Laundry, much to the annoyance of the owners..

"The Breast of British".

It's still there. The entrance at the Gedling end is fenced off, but can probably be negotiated if you do a bit of climbing, although the area would be an extreme swamp at the moment.

N.C.V ( Nottm commercial Vehicles) finished before I moved to the area 32 years ago. NCV Car Sales that were on the site moved to Newark when Aldi bought the site around 5 years ago. It had 3 or 4 other car sales / MOT businesses on the site at it's peak. They built a pub on the end where the houses are now, but that was demolished a good few years ago. I beleive that land was originally part of NCV. Was G&M; Then NCV Cars Then this happened Then this, Aldi hit

Old ladies with sharp stubble that's something I'd forgotten about.
