I'm in the embarassing position now to be able to send them to the dentist by post!!!!!!

I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL! COULD HAVE DONE BETTER! I ONCE STOOD WHERE YOU ARE NOW!

I'm surprised at the lack of posts about one of Nottinghams biggest employers, Raliegh industries, A world famous name and major player in the Tour de France, Milk race and most of the classics in years gone by, or have I not looked through all the posts yet? Roger

Tanners worth of chips and a bag of batter bits please

Hi Rob, I live about 5 miles from Waddington airfield, so see their Vulcan most weekends, but can't wait to see one flying again. On airshow days the planes usually stack up over my place so I get a good view anyway. but this year I will secure all windows and roof tiles just in case Vulcan does a few circuits overhead, Can't wait. Cheers Roger

Rob, Just heard today the Vulcan will have a 1/2 hour test flight at Bruntingthorpe towards the end of Feb 07, She will also head the red arrows above the Mall and over Buck house sometime in June to celebrate 25 years since Falklands conflict. Then a full blown flying display at Waddington this year, According to info recieved from reliable source Cheers Roger

I started at Peoples in 68, Motor vehicle technology, 44hrs a week in a garage in Sneinton, 12hrs at peoples on a Monday and 3 1/2 hrs Friday night after work for the princely sum of £3.1s 4d per week. Halcyon day's Cheers Roger

Didn't take too much notice of the scooter's, but best looking bike of the 60s has to have been the Royal Enfield continental GT 250cc imo Cheers Roger

I think sometimes she thought the little bu@@ers were in me tabs, she used to push me ead over that hard I thought it would snap off Roger

A team of lads came to our village fete last summer,( in Lincolnshire) went by the name of the Flying Angels, I think they were connected to Oliver Hind boys club. An absolute credit to the club and to the youth of Nottingham, out of all the villagers there I was the only one Nottingham born and bred and I was so proud of them lads. Roger

Back in the fifties when I were brung up we had to stay away from the kids from Sneinton because they had nits. Roger

Rotel 240, York 863 and HAM international concorde 11, Call sign DELTIC 7, talked a load of rubbish most of the time but met some fantastic people. Still got the Ham international. Roger. Ah" Roger that" (Doh) Roger and out.

Ayup Mick Not been to Nottingham for some time now and not got any plans in the near future either, But if I do get over I'll make a point of going on Thurland street with a camera to see if he's still up there. Roger

Ayup Mick, The clifton bridge inn got the nickname Ponderosa because at the time it had the biggest car park for a pub and Bonanza (ranch name Ponderosa) had the biggest spread of land on the telly. Oh what a sad life I've had. Can remember it being built though Cheers Roger

Wasn't the Brough Superior a motor cycle? Built somewhere on Hucknall road or was it somewhere in Bulwell? Anyroadup Lawrence of Arabia used to ride them, in fact he got killed riding one. In saying all that Brough did make motor cars but I don't know what the models were called Roger

I Heard sometime in the distant past that the Thurland was the last public house in Nottingam to be a MEN only pub, Can anyone verify that one? Cheers Roger

Does any one remember The Whistle Stop under the Victoria Hotel? All done out like the inside of a railway station, at the end of the seats there were suit cases to act as arm rests and the place was a miriad of small alcoves, all with railway posters on the walls. We used to go there from peoples college on a Monday and Friday nights, packet of No6 ciggies 3-4 pints of double diamond and a bag of chips from the chipper in Trinity square and change from £3. Must have been 1968-69 Roger

Thought the only vehicle to have fins would have been a MOTOR PIKE AND SIDE CARP.......SORRY It's been one of those days Cheers Roger

A shire mare and it's foal attended the opening ceremony of the Grey mare public house Clifton estate in the early to mid 60s Cheers Roger
