On my Grans hallway wall on Wilford grove hung an old wall clock (would that be a grandmother clock?) with the slowest "tick tock" you ever heard, stared at that clock for ages when I were a nipper Rog

Good to see you back posting again Pete Rog

RE: New Holland, check out "Daves rail pics" on the internet, plenty of pics on there of the ferry paddle steamers,New Holland platforms and stations, well worth a look Rog

Labour in vain drove still there, I'll get a picture of the sign next time I go that way home Rog

Not a road name but a village name just over the A15 heading towards Bardney Rog

A short ride today after a spell in the Lincoln county hospital, (not the best of starts to the new year but things can only get better) got the trike (jolly Roger) out of the bike shed and thought why not have a blast round on it, nowhere special just along our cycle/foot path between the two villages of Carlton le Moorland and Bassingham, only about 4 miles in total, averaged 15 mph going outward but a miserable 8.5mph coming back, feeling tired for the last mile but achieved what I wanted and that was to get out and ride, bike performed spot on, one of the audible warning systems on the tri

Hi Smiffy49, Temple Bruer about 5-6 miles from home, cycle through there quite regular on my recumbent trike then through Wellingore,Navenby and back home down Navenby hill, look forward to your memories of Clifton and maybe Fairham Rog

Nice post Carltonlad, It bought back memories of the 70's when I used to catch the bus from Edwards lane to the city and music was piped all around the bus, don't know if this was an experiment but it was nice to listen to on the way to work, mainly music but with the odd advert for local businesses, anyone else remember the bus music? Rog

SabyBaby, I used to buy most of my gardening stuff from Stewarts,(was it called Stewart and Brawls?) I remember the wooden floors and the wooden racks along the back of the shop that contained seeds and bulbs, the staff all wore brown shopkeepers coats and knew their stuff, they could advise you about growing anything,you told them what type of soils you had in your garden and they would advise what type of plants would do well, didn't know it had closed though, more of Nottingham's history gone, Thanks for the memory jog. Rog

A sad loss, I hope he made things up with his brother Don, some of the first music I remember as a kid. RIP Rog

If you drive or walk along the A15 near Lincoln you can see the very same Vulcan that bombed Stanley airfield during the Falklands war, it's now part of the airfield gate guard, just across the road is a nice cafe called the "wave" (Waddington aircraft viewing area) that serve up a very nice bacon or sausage bun and tea or coffee Rog

Great video David, some memories came flooding back, I think if you played the video in reverse it would be more true of todays Britain though Rog

Just look out if you go under any of the bridges, the towpath can get very narrow Babs Rog

Reindeer at Navenby, top of station hill Mick Rog

Was bad in Boston Lincs with plenty of folk flooded out in the town, weather not bad now though, still wearing me shorts, hope the seal pups at Donna Nook have not been washed away like they were a couple of years ago, might nip over to see them tomorrow Rog

get wrapped up else you'll catch your death Rog

Piggy and Babs, after the woolens were taken out of the tub it was my turn to go in for a good scrub up (guess I would be about 3 years old at the time) until one day my gran left the gas on and it nearly boiled me, thanks for bringing back the memories of the dolly tub Rog

Prophets,Seers and Sages by Tyrannosaurus Rex (before they became "T Rex) closely followed by Electric Warrior T Rex Rog

Still going to work in me shorts although just lately I have took to wearing a sweatshirt top as well Rog

I feel I've been done over every month when my wage slip arrives, seriously though the many times I have been done is my own fault because like most men I failed to read the small print or the instructions Rog

When I started at Fairham (Clifton) back in the mid 60's we were given a Gideon new testament and a small blue dictionary that we were suppose to keep in our inside pockets and during the first days there we had to write out a 7 day program of lessons that was to be kept in the outer breast pocket. just thought I would add my bit before the memory fails completely Rog Forgot to add, Mr Dobinson (English) abd Mr Burns (Maths) were very good teachers

I have some post cards sent to my grandmother from my grandfather who was in the trenches of the great war, in one of them he writes saying "Thankyou for sending me the ham in the tin, I shared it with my friends as the canteen facilities are not very good here at the moment", brings a tear to my eyes when read that one, they are not worth as much as you think Mick, just a few pounds each but these are priceless to me. by the way when he did return home after the war the place wasn't "A place fit for heroes" no jobs and little to eat and he threw his medals down Wilford grove and never spoke o

Would that club be called Blotts or was it called that in the past? Rog
