I wonder if he still believes in miracles, RIP a great talent.

When did the Stoke Bardolph Ferry finish and does anyone know why? I lived at Stoke Bardolph in the early 60s but don't recall seeing it. My stepfather told me horrendous tales about using the ferry late at night after a drinking session.

What a complete numpty!

An early memory was going to Butcher Boy'ds in Netherfield for dental treatment. That was an experience. I believe he got struck off.

I caught a Salmon in the Trent about 3 years back and I know others have been caught since. Mine was a grilse weighing 6lbs 2ozs.

My stepfather used to eat pigs trotters, tripe, cod roe etc. As a southern softie I couldn't stand it. Couldn't used to people eating brad and butter with an apple either. Strange how things vary throughout the country.

I was born in Middlesex and as a child used to catch the bus to Harrow on the Hill to train spot and saw many magnificent engines. Later we moved to Stoke Bardolph where I could hear the shunting yards at Colwick. Happy days.

She certainly wasn't a lady to hug the lime light. RIP.

The Spanish authorities are being tight lipped about this but they did say it was not mechanical failure.

The closure will be a pain for rail users but I don't see how else they can do it.

Well done to him but thank goodness it's over. Ashes time.

How many Australians originated from the UK in the first place?
