  1. Funny thing was me & Mrs C booked the ferry from Falmouthto St Maws but boarded the wrong boat. All boats seem the same to me with a pointed end & a blunt end. Anyhow when the bloke come to check our tickets we were on a two & half hour river cruise of the river Fal instead. Never mind it was free of charge .

    Jill, Owner of various stalls and amusements. If memory serves me correctly Mellors used winter some of their fairground rides below my uncles garage on Greasley Street Bulwell. ( this was late 60s).

    I've an idea he may be Chairman of the Showmans guild. Not sure on this.

    He still has that yard on Greasley Street.

    Henry Mellors the father of James Mellors was a true gentleman, met him numerous times when I lived in Bulwell.

  3. Mrs C who never carries her card unless she goes out shopping on her own, very unusual that.

    A few months ago I was laid up in bed with the flu & she went to Tesco in Vic Centre to do some essential shopping. A couple of months later two transactions for Amazon UK appeared on our joint bank statement.

    She had only used this card that once only.

    Lloyds bank refunded the money straight away no problem.

    Since then it's cash only & if I'm told card only then I will spend my hard earned elsewhere.

    Back in Sept we were at a Warner's holiday camp on the IOW where it was card payment only, no problem , we went out the camp & spent our money there & much cheaper too.

    I refuse to pay over £6 for a pint.
