And in the 70s, it was a company called PETA, who were into electricals and furniture. http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/46285/pages/5718/page.pdf

67564 It's strange how so many can remember these things fifty years on. I suppose it's like my dad never forgot his army number from the war.

Must admit those trucks must move bloody fast, to get into town as quick as they did, AND find somewhere to park up. Was fun playing spot the locations though.

Works OK on Tapatalk.

Lot different now. I go to Glasgow quite often on business. Leave home at 7am, arrive in the office in Glasgow city centre at 10am, just in time for a Lorne Sausage sandwich. Used to be even quicker when BMIbaby used jets, as opposed to FlyBe's turboprops.

When your page loads, which theme are you using? Down in the bottom left corner of the page, where it says "Change Theme", click on that and tell us what it says. If it's IP.Board mobile, try changing it to something else and see what happens. <Edit> Forget that. I just realised that is what you've been trying to do!

That reminds me. Must check the recording of that to see if Nottstalgia's very own LizzieM managed to get on camera after all.

Quite possible that I got it wrong, but my excuse is that I was only three years old...

My dad had an A30 for a few years (168AAL). When we used to go to Cornwall on holiday, he somehow shoe-horned two adults, three or four kids (depending on how many of us he was taking), full camping gear, food and clothing for a fortnight into it. Used to take us two days to get there though, in the days before motorways.

Happens on another forum I use. A tenner a year through Paypal to an off-the shelf company the admin set up. Fairly straightforward and took one major financial headache off his hands. Paying members get the normal forum pages and more private messaging capacity, visitors and non-members get to see some discretely-placed Google ads and only allowed a handful of PMs.

I'm sure a lot of us would chip in to cover server costs. Better that than you having to sell your soul to Google Ads.

Not if you put plenty of vinegar on it.

As well as permanently rounded shoulders and a stoop. With a bit of luck, they may develop ESP so they won't even need to look up from their little screens to see where they're going. As for power, my hope would be that they finally crack nuclear fusion and get away from our dependency on oil and gas. As an aside, when I think back to the changes my dad saw in his life, it must have been amazing to see how we progressed from the Wright brothers and Bleriot to Concorde and space travel, and from horseless carriages to 200mph supercars.

#54 Denshaw, definitely was not Cafe Zero. They've always given good service. Just in case this was a one-off, or she was just having a bad day, or indeed if she is no longer working there, I'd prefer not to name the place.

On the subject of manners, I took my elderly father in law to a coffee shop in Arnold a while back. I asked the woman behind the counter for "two coffees, please." Her answer was "Three pounds" (or something like that, can't remember the exact price now). She took the money I handed her, put it in the till, and turned away without a word. As she was walking away from the till, I said "Thank you" to her in a loud voice. All I got in return was a filthy look and two cups of what tasted like dishwater shoved across the counter at me. I've never been back to the place since, and wouldn't recomm

Is that the Loughborough Chalmondleys, or the Southwell Chalmondleys?

As someone who is planning to retire next year, you lot aren't filling me with much confidence! It's bad enough that the wife is already going on about not wanting me under her feet all day. Similar to Mick, I've worked all but the first three weeks since I left school in 1973 so think it's time to give some other poor sod a chance and allow me to draw some of the pension I've paid into for the last 40 years before I pop my clogs.

I was a frequent visitor in the 70s, and remember chatting with Ron Haslam after one of the Transatlantic Trophy races, when he'd had to retire his Norton with mechanical problems. On a lesser level, I used to go and watch the club racing as well. Along with Cadwell, it's always been a friendly circuit, with a distinct aroma of Castrol R40 pervading the air. I was also there in 1970 for the World Cycling Championship road race, with the likes of Eddy Merckx riding (although that was a lot quieter ) The current situation is diabolical. The incoming locals moaning about the noise from a ci

Pedant alert! The lightweight tyres used on racing bikes are not tubeless, they're more accurately described as tubular. Having had to repair more than my fair share of them, they are an airtight tube stitched inside an outer shell, which has the tread on it. The tyre is then glued to the rim with a pre-glued tape. For track racing they used to be stuck on with shellac glue. (Not sure what they use these days) As regards the slow deflation, my suspicions would be on either the rubber valve seal having degraded over time, or even the inner tube itself.

"America won WW2." There you go.

Carrott's mole sketch was very much sanitised for TV. His live version was a lot funnier, and had the sort of swear words you'd expect in the circumstances.

Us Tapatalk users don't have problems with different fonts. We only get the one.

And if you decide to have a trip to the Ace on a bike, be careful of road signs, as Brent Council have issued a banning order to stop motorcycles from using certain roads locally. It only applies to bikes, though. You can still use a car, a coach, or even a 38-tonne artic.

I may have, hidden somewhere in my files, a copy of a valedictory letter written by the then head of department for my grandfather when granddad was working as a lecturer in lace design at the College of Art back in the 1920s/30s. I'll have a hunt for it when I can.

Depends on whether you want to pay, and how much. Some internet service providers offer free WiFi as part of their monthly package, for example BT or Sky, which allows you to use the free WiFi offered in built-up areas or shops such as McDonald's. If you want it 'on the move', then a wireless dongle and a mobile service subscription/PAYG can do that, such as is offered by Three, EE (Orange/T Mobile), O2, Vodafone, etc. Best shop around for the best deal in terms of how much free data is on offer.
