  1. Wanted:

    1960s transistor radio with Radio Caroline written on dial. Any make or model considered. I'l pay anything up to a couple of quid for one of these ;o)

    I used to have one but Radio Caroline was written in red crayon.

  2. Gr8 pics RGR.

    The road rockets must have been export jobs because the Enlish A10 RR had a red and chrome tank.The 1962 or 63 I think Rocket Gold star boasted a silver and Chrome tank.

    Great bikes too.I owned a 1957 model which I left behind when I migrated to Aus.

    How silly was that ?9Leaving it behind not migrating) :-) it would be worth a lot of money now.

  3. 2 whole years today i quit smoking

    792 days

    31,685 cigs not smoked

    Well done that man. !clapping!

    I packed it in 2005 because I had to have major back surgery and the doc told me he wouldn't do it unless I packed in the ciggies.

    I never went back to them. Koff koff !!!

  4. Tea bags are all that are available to us, sadly....I used to get Typhoo when I lived in the UK, can't recall the brand we bought in Oz.

    It would probably have been Bushells or Lan Choo.

    Personally I favour Lan Choo or Twinings English Breakfast.

    It must be made in a pot though.None of yer teabags fer me.

  5. Ironic, FW Woolworths started in the USA and I don't think there is one single branch over here now. They were still big in Australia when I lived down there, but I think Dick Smith bought them out.

    Woolworths are still going strong here in Aus.Them and Coles almost have a monopoly on grocery and variety stores.They rip us off something terrible.

    Re Dick Smith.He was actually bought out by Woolworths but the stores are still trading under the Dick Smith name.

    Sadly many of them are being closed down and the trade they were doing is being absorbed by Big W which is also part of the Woolworth chain.

  6. I haven't been here for a long time due to circumstances.

    I notice that the blog section has gone down the tube since Bip departed.

    Also quite a number of members have quit posting.

    I was tickled by the number of (alias) Barries that were signed up.

    Yes,I've been watching from the wings for some time but unable to post,again,due to circumstances.

    Baz !tanning! in the sunshine once again

  8. Where was the tudor?

    I have memories of a supermarket just passed The Slipper which might have originally been a cinema?

    And in the early 70's working for the coop as an electricician, that their Bulwell shop opp Scots Grey Pub was also an old cinema?

    It was just past where the supermarket was.

    The entrance to the cinema was right on the corner.

    That little junction used to be known as Tudor Square.
