Is that the Three Horse Shoes on Derby Road? A !tony!

if you look in Tesco in Ilkeston when they are emptying their tills you will see the same principal in use. They put the money in shuttles and push it in the pipes by every checkout and it wings its way to the office, never to be seen again. Do you remember Beech's and Roughtons stores. one on Derby Road and another on Radford Road. They had a similar system but it was put in a cup and a rope was pulled and the pot went along cables to a small accounts office to be entered into the book and the change sent back. If you had a Provident cheque this would be sent along with your paying book a

You must remember dancing round your handbag. I used to go to the Lacarno in my lunchhour from work, we had about 30 minutes dancing and the rest of the time running back to work before we were late. That was in the sixties. They used o play some great music, A

I preferred the Otis Redding rendition. A

didn't there used to be a pub not far from where the pit used to be called the Shonki, and they then changed it to the Headstocks. Or am I getting two different things mixed up? A

At the Co-op on the corner of Aspley Lane and Robinswood Road they used to have a contraption for testing the light bulbs. It was permanently swittched on and the bulb was pushed into it and hopefully it worked. My mum used to go to a house somewhere on Barrack Lane off Derby Road to buy dresses for herself. The woman, I seem to recall the name Dolly, had dresses piled up in her front room, these were on a billiard table. My mum used to knit cardigans for my sister and me. When we grew out of them they were unpicked and knitted up again with another colour mixed in with a pattern. They m

The heating system caused a lot of problems, the people that warked there were in danger of getting sick building syndrome. The system was designed to return the warm air to the base of the building and then filter it through and round again. Therefore, if anyone sneezed on the top floor then the rest of the building got a cold. The turrets on the corners were designed to rise and fall as the temperature rose, the only problem was the Pigeons. They would get in when the cap was up and then when it went down they couldn't get out. Having worked there for about 10 years there are some thing

The modern buildings take some beating for being eyesores. The Revenue building on Castle Meadow is a fine example of a building looking like a car park from the outside and a prison from the in. Have you seen the Amenity building, it looks like a giant alien from space buried up to his neck. A

How about: River Deep Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner If I were a Carpenter - Bobby Darin Reach Out - The Four Tops In Dreams - Roy Orbison What do you Wanna Make Those Eyes at me For - Emile Ford Stand by me - Otis Redding These are what I can remember from working behind a bar in Leeds not far from Ellend Road.

C U THERE!!! !hand!

Didn't he sing a song with the lyrics containing the following: '...last night was made for love, where the hell were you...' or was that someone else or have I embroided it a little bit over the years? I seem to remember something like that was added by the masses 'cause it fitted into the music better. A

When you have finished earing your mouse, BIP, try this one 'cause nobody else seems to have a clue. A

Do you remember when they advertised a soap powder and the slogan was 'Shining White ...' and they decided to use White Gates at Clifton? What was the name of the product, was it Daz or Omo? I had an Uncle who lived on Widdecombe Lane and a sister that used to live on Rivergreen. Anywhere near you? A

Was that the bridge that was across Wollaton Road, it was blown up one Sunday morning if I remember A

Talking of Aspley Hall and the Lane, the entrance was lined by the seven sisters which I believe only one remains. I have only ever seen the hall once and then we came upon it quite by accident. I don't think many people who moved to Aspley and the surrounding areas ever knew it existed. I think they would be too relieved to be moved from the slums that abounded at the time. I know my parents and grand-parents were. It was a formidable building with a glass dome if I remember correctly. A

Was it the Odeon or was the one you originally mentioned on the other side of the square? A

You got it there - A sight to see I missed it all - Oh woe is me. A Messerschmit? - A bright blue Lada? A rocket ship? – (Report in Pravda) Or none of these as is your want, But dressed in clothes by Mary Quant You went to the show with good in tent But then had time to repent At your haste at picking out this car When after really not too far The floor gave way the engine blew The doors would need more than glue. Now all is well and home you are And vowed never to have another car. A trip out now is quite adventurous The TANDEM makes the ride stupendous (The best I could do.)

Would it be the Odeon with the man standing outside in uniform? (The Commissionare, I would have used that word but I cannot spell it) A

The hackers didn't take this then... A !tony!

Could it be that Eddie Cartright was the landlord for some time? A

I thought this may be tooooo regional. A

No, to far up the lane. I am talking about the co-op next door to the Salvation Army, near Melbourne Road. This is opposite to the house I was born in. A

The Co=Operative food hall on Aspley Lane started life as... what? It was changed in 1958 to the Co-Op but not in its present form. Hope this is not toooooo regional for you. A

St Leodegarius by any chance? A

I know it looks like Rolf Harris, but I don't think it is. Did we not have an impersonator that was more like Rolf than Rolf was? I think this may be him. Name? I don't have a clue... A
