The proposed cost of 45p a unit of alcohol is not a tax. The extra money will go to the brewers & shops etc. I have a sneaking feeling the brewers are favouring this as many pubs have closed & the breweries are keen to recoup lost profits. The Govt have said this is to curb binge drinkers & yobbos etc. Take a look at countries where they have cheap booze & you don't see this probem there. Honestly, this is RIP OFF BRITAIN at it's best.

Another case of the majority being penalised because of the minority.

Open the door with a Base Ball Bat usually helps to send em away !

I love Lincoln but the christmas Market ? No thanks. No where to park except the Park & Ride which last year cost £12.............I don't think so. Seems this year is between £12 - £15 depending on what day you go. http://lincoln-christmasmarket.co.uk/information-for-visitors/park-and-ride-service/

Month not wrong ! Like the shops, just early.

To wish everyone a very merry christmas & a happy new year !

What a very interesting thread, well done all.

Used to chat to him quite reguarly, not been "active" for many years myself.

I remember Alan, Plod, yes ?

A girl lived next door to us, she I think being a year older than me. Her name was Iris Howarth Can't think of any other names.

Had a dabble myself, then went Ham Radio in 88, ( G0 NVS ).

Funnily enough Pixie, we have two cats & one of them sits on the bedside cabinet every morning at 4am purring, he wants his breakfast ! So I wake mrs gus607 to go & feed em !

Never thought about the glue ! good point that.

I'm wide awake by 4am every day including weekends & hols, mostly up & about by 5am ish. I do like to be in bed no later than 10.30 though.

Hate winter myself. Having to work in it is no pleasure I can assure you. Also people on modest or fixed incomes must dread winter too, eat or heat ? Ring any bells.?

Me an all !

Had a Aunt & Uncle live on there for many years !

Tyre re-cutting is still done today. Two of my wagon tyres were re-cut last week. Commercial tyres are designed to be re-cut.

Interesting post poobear !

Thanks poobear !

Was Watmough's factory on Hartley Road ?

My mate Johnie Lancaster lived on Duncombe Street.

From what I remember he was a supermarket manager for the Co-op, a mate of mine worked for him & he said he was a great bloke.

That's a very old one Limey !
