He had 37 RT sessions & I only had 20, but my daily radiation dose of 3Gy's (300 rads) was almost double his of 1.6 Gy's, we never found out why the difference.

I would hope you've made a few friends on NS as well Colly, me included. I'll always lend an ear if thou wants a chinwag or get something of your chest. Take care, B.

Not all of the filming was done in Nottingham. It seems there may be misinformation or confusion as I’ve read that the Goose Fair scenes were not done at Nottingham but I’ve also read they were.
