That suit bears absolutely no resemblance to the sort mods in Nottingham wore.
Ours were "waisted and flaired", basically meaning they tapered in at the waist, and flaired back out a little lower, ticket pockets above one jacket pocket, or sometimes two, more buttons than necessary on the sleeves, and, of course OTT vent lengths.
hi craig, been reading this thread. nothing mention about mohair suits.most of my seventeen suits were mohair.used to travel to leeds get my mohair material off the market very cheap then nip around the corner just behind the Haymarket to a bespoke tailor who made the suit up for about ten to fifteen quid. took a fortnight,made to measure mohair suit for around £25.not bad.

Wooden floor throughout and in the other room.Will find out how much they charge for main room and the cost for the annexe

LADIES AND GENTLEFOLKS,
Jan had a brain storm about the raid at the DUNGEON CLUB. I went to my Doctor's to find the exact date I had my in growing toe operation It was done on Friday 10th March 1967 so the raid I can confirm happened on Saturday11th /Sunday 12th March 1967........
Pete C .Yes G. G.did live in Gedling he also joined the Army became a Redcap.. He now lives in mapperley and I see him two or three times a week.
Craig . How are you not heard from you for a while. You must be making too much money. Still waiting for that first drink you promised in 1970??????????????.
Brief update on STu Morris,,,,,,had a new knee put in couple of weeks ago,came home. Wound would not heal? so gone back in
for a operation to sort it out and will be in for a couple of weeks. I.m popping up to see him next week.

so can you remember what year the raid was Jan?
Hello hippo girl, been working. The raid was in wintertime in 1967,end of January or begining of Feb. The DRifters were on but never came on because the police raided at 0.30 to 01.00. This is from Stu Morris who was there,sorry I cannot find the exact date..

Yes Craig it's true had blonde hair till I was 21 then turned mousey. Must have happened when I worked on oil rigs wearing helmets all the time. back to the Dungeon went down in Sept 1965 because it was Stu's 16th brithday and we went on a dare.. I wore a chordroy jacket and wrangler jeans could not afford Levi's then. Just got hooked on the music and atmosphere.remembered my first taste of whisky,went to get Jimmy Cliff's autograph. He was getting changed in the cloakroom upstair's .Invited me in got a bottle out no glasses just had a swig out of the bottle. Chatted with him for half a hour.Very nice bloke specially with the whisky.
Somebody on Evening Post is writing about the Mod's and the Dungeon club saw a bit in thr BYgones??
Pete miss stojack I do remember I used to speak to her in Polish, native tongue .Mr and Mrs Redican Mr Byron metalwork. Mr Dremzie Russian teacher,Mr Tregaski, Trigger( physics) got his phone number lives back in Cornwall or Majorica for 9 months.He came into my pub and said hello and pronunced my surname perfect. Bald has a badger. he had fuzzy hair back in school.I think Joe Austin passed on also had him on my paper round, all round Mapperley Park.made a years wages at Xmas time with tips.
