I am harking back to the early 50s, mick2me. Big things about the size of your average washing machine with a space at the front to slide your feet in. Could look down the scope at your green feet. Surely there is someone out there who actually used one???

The shoes department in there with the X-ray machine on a stand. You could look down the scope at your feet and how the shoes fitted as well as viewing holes either side for your Mum and the shop assistant to coo over how nice a fit they were! OH&S would have had a fit.

Sorry I spoke.

Thanks dgbrit...Will spend some time looking through that site. I am going to have to visit that Reno Swap Meet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mick2me, what about a 'shelf life' for contents in some topics that are not relevant to Nottingham's history? Jokes for instance could be limited to 12 months or less (6 months) before deletion. There are 23 pages on the Annes Giggles topic going back 5 years. If members wanted to keep a joke or other topic, they could download to their own computer or USB. Worked at my last workplace without any issues whatsoever with Department IT Administrators applying the delete button without fear or favour. Just a thought from a newcomer that will probably create debate but, a suggestion after

Thanks dgbrit....some nice cars in that lot!

The idiots down here have gone one better mick2me; they are microchipping cattle to measure their burps and farts and therefore calculate how much cattle contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Do you suppose there's money to be made in cow butt plugs.............could make a s**t load of money!

Ever read George Orwell's Animal Farm??? A lot of today's politicians, councillors and upper hierarchy civil servants remind me of the pigs in Animal Farm, snouts in the trough and let the others do the work and/or take the blame. The writing is on the wall for the Government out here....had a State election in Queensland a few weeks back and the sitting government (same leaning as the Federal government) lost in a massive land slide (read avalanche) and were annihilated! Out of a total of 89 seats, the opposition was put into power with a majority of 78 seats! The previous government f

Hi dgbrit...how do I get into that site to view your pics please?

dgbrit...please may we see the Mustang pictures?

When politicians come down from their ivory towers and start doing the job that they were elected for..............representing the best interests and needs of the electors who put them there for just that reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ours down here are the same once they get in; all promises out of the window and representation of the minority because it is for our good. Bullshite! We are about to get lumbered with a Carbon Tax in July that will make Oz the highest taxed in the world and this is by a PM who stated 'No carbon tax while I'm in the seat' and now we are told she changed h

Good morning radfordred...Are you imposing on us? Shadows of street signs and buildings don't seem to match the shadow from the car to my tired old eyes.

Beefsteak, am reminded of the early 'Ah Bisto' signs where the two are smelling the aroma of the gravy whenever I look at our current and hopefully soon to be removed Prime Minister. Gillard has the same long pointed nose, rat features, same styled red hair and a stuck up attitude as the figure in green in the advertising pictures, particularly the later ones!!!!!!!!!! mick2me...Tried for some time to put a picture on here but was not allowed : - You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.

Nice pics katyjay.....anymore please?

This discussion is really taking off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not heard the word 'Fuddle' for a long time. Special evenings when the brother and I got to go to the village (RoT) with our Dad and he would buy the comics, Beano, Eagle, Hotspur and the Dandy as well as some assorted chocolates and sweets (Sherbet tubes with the liquorice straw, Mars bars, Frys cream bars, and those picks that were 3 or 4 for sixpence out of the big jars with the screw lids. Back home to read the comics, eat the sweets and argue over whose turn is was to get what comic! Thanks carltongal for reminding me about that one.

Saw an ad in the local paper (OZ) this morning for a Nikon D4. Sounds very impressive and so cheap.....I might buy 2...Ha Ha! $AUD6,999-00

Popeye it was Compo.

Hey Compo, did you think your question would develop into this?

Reckon your shots confirm the location Cliff ton. You and Beefsteak earn the rewards.

Great photos Compo.

Congratulations Beefsteak. Thought it might be in that area. Taking into account the possible camera location and zoom, it would appear that Selby Road is the one (or another street very close by). Cliff ton, may I ask if you can get a photo from down on the road surface with the zoom on full when you go down there. The zoom would remove the side hedges and kerbs BUT watch for cars if you do not want to join Boon.

Good evening Cliff ton. Agree fully with how compulsive this thread is and wonder if Burtkt realised what he would start with his post. Have followed this post since the beginning and thought Beefsteak had cracked it. Spent a lot of time since trying to find the possible location from all the relevant photos on Flickr. Panoramia and other associated sites. The photos that I have posted would indicate that the County Hall line of site is fairly close. Down here in OZ I only have Google Maps and since it is 48 years that I was last in Nottingham, I can only rely on the satellite pictures of
