Oh yes of course Stephen! Well it must have been just before or just after Listen with Mother then. We'd certainly be tuned in at that time.

Aww Paulus, I was thinking you were dead clever knowing all those sea/fishing areas around the British Isles and then you go and spoil it by telling us you cribbed off of Wikipedia. Didn't the shipping forecast used to be on a 1.50pm every day?

What's the verdict Lizzie, am I wasting my time?..........................
Rob's not partial to Babycham Paulus, offer him a Carling Black Label and he might be interested!

Sorry if I'm confused Fynger #4, I remember him stating he was a Witch and I have wrongly assumed he was a Druid because he married on Primrose Hill.
And Paulus, # 5, yes ........ Stick at two!!

We've got a lot of walking routes and maps around Notts. mostly picked up in the Information Centre under the Council House.

Load of old tosh in my opinion. My ex brother-in-law was a Druid. He was quite an ordinary sort of chap with a good job, loving wife and two smashing daughters. Suddenly he took an interest in this stuff and became a 'white witch'. When he got home from work he would spend all evening talking on the phone to other witches. Eventually my sister-in-law had had enough and chucked him out, after 24 years of marriage. He then got hooked up with a much younger witch and they had some sort of wedding ceremony on the top of Primrose Hill in London, which has something to do with Druids and the like. He had another child with this woman and then split up with her. He moved to Brighton and decided he was gay!! A few years ago he died ...... At his funeral were 3 ex wives (he was married before he married my sister-in-law) plus his gay partner. Anyway, it's a load of old tosh, I used to really get on with this chap but he really did become very strange when he got interested in Druids

I've never eaten there Carni but seen the banner outside and it looks like it's inexpensive, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's good value. I think it's a carvery and we don't go to those places because my husband would eat too much! One way of finding out though so let us know.

Hope the opposition are gentle with them.

Well actually, the very first time I heard that quote I was in Surrey at my future in- laws. Don't ever remember someone saying it when I was growing up in Nottingham.

Looks appealing inside but the outside is not very inspiring but who am I to say, I'd rather have Watson Fothergill facades any day.

And while on the subject of The Vale, and going off tangent a bit, I knew a boy at the Youth Club at Arnold High School, who had a motorbike and got killed outside The Vale, before they put traffic lights on that junction. He went under a lorry poor lad. Can't remember his name but he lived on Killisick Estate.

No it's still there, open for business. Not been in there for several years but drive past it several times a week.

Not too often Stan!

That's the problem I always had, never knew which one was the Left one!! It was best to hang around in the middle, then if you really didn't fancy your date when you were sober at least you could slither away without being spotted, and catch the bus home, lol

Really? I was away from Nottingham for a long time and never heard about dastardly events.

Around 1970 I went a couple of times to a really big BBQ organised by Notts Casuals RFC that was held in a field under the Clifton Bridge. I honestly can't remember that much about it but they had live bands playing. Maybe it was somewhere near where Sat Bains restaurant is situated now. It must have been difficult to get to but a few of us went there in a really ancient black Rover that one of our friends owned, with the indicators that pop up but these ones didn't and we had to use hand signals, we certainly lived dangerously!

There's no Palais now for a 50 yr reunion next year then, that makes me feel very old now! I don't think I knew Chris, maybe I did by sight, but may he rest in peace ...... Far too young to be gone

Not likely !!http://bcove.me/a1yekumx
You'd definitely want danger money to be an extra in that clip

Could be a Co-op store now

I was in town one day last week and there was a film crew outside the Council House, with signs saying they were filming 'Truckers' ( + if you didn't want to be on the telly keep out of camera shot). Well it WAS right by the lions and people still meet there!!

I always thought that Huntingdon Street Bus station was where all the long distance buses left from. Caught buses there a few times to go down to Devon, stopping at Cheltenham to presumably change drivers. I think that was the Black & White bus company, always went overnight.

Yes that's the thing Trevor. We had one very special ewe who broke her leg when she was going scatty in the field and ran into a harrow which we shouldn't have left there, on hindsight. She broke her leg and we loaded her into the backseat of the car and drove her to the vets, much to the amazement of the staff and other patients in the waiting room! The vet plastered her leg and she went on to have 2 lambs that year and the same for a few years after. They were enjoyable times although as Ayupmeducks mentioned, it was usually in the middle of the night when we had to do the maternity chores, and when that was February and snowy it was tough.

This thread is getting out of hand now! But I just want to mention something which I think is really gross. My husband worked on a farm when he was a boy (child labour but good for money for sweets) The farmer would cut the 'sac' off with a knife and then pull the testicles out with his teeth. It seems that was the way to do it in the olden days. And before you query this comment Stan, I'm talking about the boy lambs, not my husband!!!

Dreadful what happened to that poor little lamb, there are some very evil people around. But on the point that Beefy made, we used to have a flock of sheep and when they were born we put an elastic band on their tails which made the tail drop off without causing pain to the animal, and itndidn't hurt them to put the band on either. As Darkazana says, this is for hygiene reasons as their bums can get pretty nasty when flies get to them! The little boys also had their 'goolies' sorted out in the same way.

Not very often I win anything, occasionally manage to win a tenner on the Lottery, but today I won a pair of tickets to see 'Soul Sister' at the Theatre Royal next Tuesday evening. Always been a big fan of Tina Turner and seen her a few times, including back in the 60's with Ike at the Dungeon. I'm looking forward to this show, even though it won't be a patch on the real thing but it's summat for nowt.
