Carni, my parents lived in Netherfield when my brother and I were born, 1949 and 1955. We were delivered at The Firs in Sherwood.

I think this new design is miles better than the previous one but I daren't click on a football story for fear of the blasting audio accompaniment. I wonder does that still happen?
-
Is that called "automated painting"??
No it's called delegating to ensure the job's done properly!

It's a bit deceptive. What you see in the photos is the entrance area; it all opened out when you went further into the building.
What was Maid Marion Way called in the days of that map then?

Loads of places from my past ....... Ashwell Street Infants in Netherfield, the house where I spent the first 8 years of my life in Netherfield, Kingswell Junior School in Arnold, Digby College and the building where I worked for 8 years on High Church Street in New Basford.

It was my Mum who hung the wallpaper in our house, don't think she trusted my Dad to do it right!

A care home was built on the site of The Maid Marian in Arnold last year. The same Care Home company that built on the site of the demolished Golden Ball (?) by Bulwell Golf Course. However I can't see the Greyhound site being ideal for a care home, in the middle of Arnold right by the traffic lights.

Where's Stu when you need him? He's our local Arnold, Daybrook, Redhill, Woodthorpe expert. Has he fallen out with us?

Went past there a couple of days ago but I didn't notice. Not long ago since they spent some money smartening up the outside (well giving it a coat of paint!) Wonder if the car wash gang have moved off from the car park then, they've been there for years.

Especially for the quiz winners!
With prize money to spend in the pub on Saturday night Rob !! :-)

Excellent photos Beefy, could you see the colour of the pilots eyes?

Wow I'm surprised to hear that !!!! I lived on Spring Lane Lambley for 10 years and never heard of any one having "a good night out there " .
Haha! Bob, must admit that Lambley has never been a favourite village of mine but it does have a couple of decent pubs. Quiz Night at the Robin Hood last night, hosted by the new landlord, was good fun and well attended.

Didn't wear all that gear, I was a Mod! White trousers with home-made red, white and blue circles on the bottom (like RAF symbols) and a navy nylon coat, until I had enough money to buy a navy full length leather coat.
-
I've just had a good night out in Lambley and on the way there it was thunderstorms and torrential rain then hailstones as big as marbles .......... Thought it was supposed to be summer now

We've got a Patterdale! Trouble is he gets so excited and frightens everything off with his barking before he gets to it (usually neighbours cats that are hanging around hoping to catch a bird)

We had SOMETHING under our house when we lived in the countryside a few years ago. I was the only person at home, sitting quietly writing Christmas cards one evening when I heard pipes under the floor rattling. The next day I noticed that my Dyson vacuum cleaner had been chewed around the yellow plastic around the bottom. The vacuum cleaner was kept in the boiler room. Our farmer neighbour gave me some rat poison in plastic sachets, 5 in total, and said I should put a new sachet down when the first had been eaten. Every morning I checked in the boiler room and the whole packet had been taken away! This went on for 5 days so I went to an agricultural merchant and bought more!!! The sachet I put down on the sixth day was still there months later so I assumed whatever it was was now dead.
We also had a squirrel under the upstairs floor boards on another occasion. My husband had seen a squirrel going through a tiny hole in the eaves so he blocked it up when he knew the creature was not in there. Well it went mad! So he then took the floorboards up in the bedroom and had baby squirrels running up the wall, nightmare! He put the squirrels in a box and took them into the woods at the bottom of the garden but sadly next morning they were dead.
And finally, we had a glis glis electrocute itself. Only found it when the power went off in an outbuilding. It was there clinging by its teeth to a cable! They are a protected species and really quite sweet but they can cause a lot of expensive damage.

They're probably nesting underneath your shed. BUT how can you LIKE rats?!!!! You've got to get the pest man out as soon as possible Pixie, he'll find somewhere to put poison down so your cat doesn't get to it. We used to keep sheep years ago and we had evidence of rats but never saw them. The council rat-catcher came and did a good job for us.

Shame you haven't got the liner in yet Compo, plenty of rain forecast in next few days :-(

Bit of archeology going on there then Compo

Hi Carni, I've got a few but seem to have only one of the bun pennies. It's really really worn and is dated 1890. Can't imagine that will be worth anything. I used to have a tin full of old coins but we've moved house so many times that they've disappeared.
-
We've got plenty of warning Moz. Will try to be there, it's a pub we use occasionally on Fridays anyway.

You little devil Bubblewrap!

I absolutely agree with Ayupmeducks. I really think that these women are hoping to jump on the compensation bandwagon. This is so long ago, where is the proof? Times were very different in the 60s and 70s when I was a teenager and working in a predominantly male environment, but it was only harmless fun, not something to be dished up 40 years later in the hope it will ruin some old man's reputation.
