  1. Some fantastic news here in South Australia. Seven days straight with no new cases of Covid 19 reported.

  5. Lizzie, a year or so ago, I did correspond with Mel for a while as I knew him when he was a little lad coming to the classes in Woodthorpe with his mum, who was playing the piano for us. He once walked me part of the way home when he was about 9 or 10 .... I was a very young teenager then. I believe his older brother, John, has died. .

  6. Ben, I also went to Osborne's and the Criterion Boowul. Also to the horrible bloke along from Criterion towards market on same side. Had a proper old style Barber's pole outside. Croome's near the crossing too. Went once to the one in the row of shops opposite Laxton Ave. on Highbury Rd. Very iffy bloke.. Never went there again... What was the one in Trinity Walk.. Pepper's?

He told me in confidence that "large thick brown envelopes had changed hands amongst the Council from the property developers".- ALLEGEDLY. Then the Flying Horse became the White Elephant of Nottingham, It's picked up a bit now, but the old Flying Horse was very profitable - the Manager used to drink in the Thurland, and he said it was taking over a million a month, way back then c.1987. He was baffled as to why
