Quilt & duvet - two different things.

As a Forest fan now living in East Sussex it seemed to be appropriate!

Thank you everyone - great to be in the club!

Mures - yes that was it Trevor - thanks!

I had a great meal at a fish restaurant on the quay at Hobart back in 1991 - can't remember the name. On the same trip I remember having superb scallops in pastis at Doyles On The Beach in Watsons Bay NSW. sr

Thanks Carni !

Didn't realise I had Trevor - thanks for noticing and pointing it out!

Anyone remember Kathleen McGrath who I believe was at St Bernadettes about '67-'74?

DRS not working. Should leave it to the on-field umpires.

Point Duty : the stationing of a policeman or traffic warden at a road junction to control and direct traffic

Bring on the Ashes!

Lions lucky last week, Aussies lucky this week. And both very close scores. All sets up a great final next week in which the Aussies have home advantage. Can't wait - it's going to be a real nailbiter!

... but I would have served some of you in the Sal

Our Friday tour was based on The Fly, The Sal, Royal Kids, Imperial, Bell, Yates, Tavern and Mortimers Cavern. Sometimes a variation around the Dog & Bear, Thurland, Newmarket and of course Frodos/Warrows. Rob L would remember.

That would have been The Exchange. Ahem...

I remember a popular destination for us when we were kids was Bradgate Park / Swithland Wood. It's a great are for walking / picnicing. Car park cost only (didn't use to be!). www.bradgatepark.org

If anyone took geography at Forest Fields between 1955-59 then they may well have received a flying board rubber from my father!

Hi Zab, Thanks for posting the photo - I haven't seen one that good. I Worked here in 73-78. There certainly was an R2 dept. That clubhouse had great facilities.

Thanks Paulus for reassuring my memory function! I was sure we played form 6 feet!

There are one or two things I recall which set Nottnum apart from the rest of the UK for one reason or another. Anyone else remember these, or any other oddities? Am I right that we used to work on Good Friday but get Easter Tuesday off instead? If I'm right, when did that change? Am I right that we played darts from 6 foot rather than the more usual 8-9 foot that was played everywhere else and is is played today? I'm sure that's why I can't play darts today! Was this an East Midlands thing?

Hi Dave, I'll look forward to that book!

In 1954, my parents were living at 54 Chaplin Road, Wembley when I was born in the Central Middlesex Hospital. Keith Moon (8) was living just up the road at number 134. He was born in the same hospital. I never knew until I read his biography a couple of years ago! We moved to Nottingham a year later. More recently Roger Daltrey lives in Sussex, about 6 miles from me - here - next to his fishery.

Hi Banjo, Sorry but Stuart Evans is not a name I remember. Good luck.

I recall the RM ("Reduced Merchandise" aka "Ready Money") shop wher I bought all sorts of clothes for my family and I. Recently the Lyle & Scott pullovers have become fashionable again - I was buying them back then for next to ninepence!

I remember the three day week in 1Q 1974 - I had only been working for a year when we were faced with picket lines on the front gate at Haydn Road. They let us office workers through for some reason - I never really understood why.
