10 Staythorpe

I looked at Halam and talked myself out of it. Is 10 Ratcliffe on Soar? Hope not after I've been googling all kinds of cricket names!

I'm grasping at straws here. 4 Halloughton 7 Sandiacre

You've got me well and truly stumped Rob. I have pored over the map and can't put the clues to any of the places. Most likely when I do find out what they are, there'll be some forehead slapping!.

Nah I'd rather have a walnut whip. You mentioned one the other day and now it's all I can think of!

Yes Anne, I do remember the wood yard, Bramleys. I didn't really hang out in that area, only went if I had to go to the chemist for me mams tablets, or have a pop and a packet of crisps at the Barleycorn. With you living on Harwill, it was easy for you to walk down Wendover and to the bottom of Broxtowe Lane.

I can't remember, honest. I do remember the houses and the inside of the square, but I don't remember a shop. Maybe it was before my time, you are that much older than me, aren't you. ha ha. I do remember Ford's though, and was it Marsden's at the bottom of Broxtowe Lane? And the Post Office, and Patrick's men's hairdressers where the bridge was.

Would that be 'rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off?'

Hey Rob, I resent that! When I get up indeed! I was up and couldn't get on the website, it kept telling me it was disabled, and no matter how many times I put my username and password in, it just kept going back to the same message. I wondered if the Weird Welsh Wizzard had buggered it up [scuse the wording on that!] I see just about all your clues are answered [or maybe not, if they're incorrect]

Crikey, I'd have never got that connection. I was looking for the word eye, or see or something like that in the village's name. BTW I put LOL when I'm joking, which you can't always tell from my statement. It might look like I'm being serious.

'Oss'ington? LOL

Is it Markham Moor?

No 2 is driving me nuts! Is it Askham, as in 'I can't see it, so ask 'um'? LOL

Just got back from me morning walk, knackered.

Hiya Anne, I posted a Bygones to you yesterday. Watch out for the wee postie.

4 Blythe? I was thinking Rum, Whiskey etc, no wonder I couldn't get it.

7 Rhodesia [which I never knew existed in Notts!]

5 - Greasley?

10 - Clayworth?

9- Daybrook?

8 - Tythby?

I saw Anne's postings on a website and thought how funny she was, so got in touch [funny as in ha-ha] We rattled on to each other like we had known each other for ever. We did go to the same school, but 11 yrs apart, and she only lived less than a mile from me, but we had never met. Like she said, we almost met in Florida Feb 2006, and missed by minutes. [she didn't know I would try and find her]

Beefsteak, me no understandee? BTW I've done 500 posts now, do I get summat, besides a smack round the tab?

I figured it must be summat mucky! How about asking someone if you looked OK and they'd say 'you'll pass - with a push'

She's a tad over 35. Don't know about the nympho bit though.
