  1. Was this Joseph Spungin that was also at Radford Boulevard at an earlier time?It would be sometime between 1945 and 1949. If so, he was my better halfs English teacher too. A
  2. The original was sung by The Ink Spots and then covered by the Platters. A
  3. Thanks Den, 1, I thought you were my friend. 2, I always wanted to be a tart but never had the figure for it, so you made my day... A
  4. Is this the one that used to be near Car Colston/Bingham that, I believe, has been taken down and sent to USA? If not, then there was another one on the A52 over the railway line and bear left. this was outside a blacksmiths shop, would you believw. This was near Whatton in the Vale. A
  5. That was next door to the Co-op, they were noted for being a bit of a ripoff. They have now been replaced by a cycle shop called Staffords, or at least that was the name last time I was there. A
  6. There was a ford to the west of the btidge but why not call it Nottingham Bridge? We have other bridges around about that are named after the town, what is so special about Trent Bridge? The name is quite correct as being Heth Beth Bridge, One archway fell down in 1636 despite Nottingham being responsible for its upkeep, nothing new there then!!! A
  7. Trent Bridge is probably known by all, it is called Trent Bridge but why? What was it called before this? Any idea? A
  8. Well, as long as nobody wants to answer this one, I will tell you. The food hall on Aspley Lane used to be a Snooker Hall upstairs and a Post Office sorting office downstairs. it was altered to a Woolworths style shop for the co-op in around 1958. The Co-op then decided to change it to its present use some years later. I know ASPLEY is noted for being out in the sticks from Radford and the Meadows but I would have thought one of you would have known this. Do you not remember the street parties and the Salvation Army band outside on the lane at Christmas? George Jones the Ironmonger, Sha
  9. Totally agree... Why can't people be left to regulate themselves? Are we so thick we have to be told what to drink/eat/smoke? I am not a smoker now but I was in the past, I now hate the smell of the dreaded weed but I do not expect the smoker to stop doing it in my company. I have had to stop eating chocolate but I don't expect all and sundry to do the same where I am. As for Lucazade, that finally pushed me over the edge many years ago, I cannot touch it anymore and I belong to LA (Lucazde's Annonymous) one glass and I am stupid, two glasses and I am anybodies... A
  10. All I know is, he is definitely not a number... A
  11. The funeral parlour was on the corner of Robinswood Road and Aspley Lane. That used to be a co-op supermarket some time ago, with a green grocers and a butchers either side of the main shop. A
  12. Still not found the answer? Its a good job I don't get in a strop. This has been totally ignored while you have been riding around on the trams... A !tony!
  13. And I thought it was a rather small Chinaman with an upended Leek... Aint it funny how your eyes play tricks on you when you get old. A
  14. OK so I am wrong, but another suggestion, after looking through the postings, would be a Colliery band. Is this too far fetched? A !tony!
  15. After contemplating one's navel in the bathroom, I had a sudden flash of inspiration. Ooer, you may say. Was The Lone Rangers horse called Silver and would its full name be Silver Birch, is this why we are all getting our undergarments in a twist. A
  16. Not my car, he wanted a Cozzie ever since he could drive at 17. He now has one of each colour to play with. As you say, Mick, mice are particular. They have taken up residence in the one that is currently on the road so they must enjoy the trips out. Hopefully it is only one of the dear things and it won't be too hard to evict it. Many thanks for your suggestions. A
  17. Does anyone have any idea how to remove a mouse from a Cosworth? My son has one that has taken up residence in his car behind the dashboard, if he could catch it he would evict it. He doesn't want to kill it if he can help it. A NB I don't know if that is how you spell Cosworth but that is the best I can do. It is the Ford car with stainless bits on it.
  18. That's gotta be MING the MERCILESS, or am I light years away? A
  19. Do remember the wall now, thought perhaps the vandals had demolished it. Mind you the Beechdale has not changed its name either... A
  20. If you have a blocked sink don't go looking for Mr Muscle. Take the bi-carbonate and put a good pile over the plug hole, make sure you get the water out of the sink first. Pour white vinegar over it and watch it fizz. This action unblocks the sink in a jiffy. Obviously it works best on small blockages and it makes the drain smell wonderful. I like Zoflora discinfectant, the spring flowers one or the Carnation flavour. A
  21. The Beechdale on Beechdale Road? A !tony!
  22. National Knowledge Contest? A !tony!
  23. Don't get off your bike Den, I'll pick your pump up!! A
  24. OK do where is the ring road from there then? I used to go to the Wheatsheaf with my parents as a child. Can anyone remember the fireworks display on Players recreation ground, not far from there? A B)
