Didn't know Camms had one of those, good bit of info there Marrowman, still waiting to get over to Ruddington heritage place to see some of their vehicles, hopefully this summer, I live not far from the Lincolnshire transport heritage museum and that's worth a visit, sometimes having open days and free bus rides in their vintage buses

 

Rog

Rog, let us know about open days there might be a few interested on here.

[How's your day?]

Stapleford has gone up market, its now known as St Apleford.

[What are you listening to now ??]

I saw Clive Lynch a few times in the pubs and clubs, he used to have a cafe in Beeston.

[Ailments, Aches & Pains. (Let's hear them here)]

I had Sclerotherapy 3 weeks ago, it involves injecting foam into a vein in my leg. The procedure was all done in 15 mins and painless. 3 weeks on and the leg is fine.

Main thing Lizzie is that you have a failed/failing bulb.  The Mfr handbook should tell you how to replace it, but if you are not confident, Halfords will do it for a few quid. A lot less than some stuck up dealership.

 

Changing a light bulb should be an easy task but does it have to re programmed by the dealer?

[Lost Buildings of our past]

Robert Plant was at the Concert Hall last week, he still reminisces about the Boat club when he was with Led Zeppelin.

[How's your day?]

I was in the Woodlark last month, Sunday lunch was very good.

[To Alexa Or Not]

Do not ask Alexa to translate coffee bean one hundred into Welsh.

[Instrumental Music]

I saw on the local news that the Concert pianist at the Theatre Royal is also a local tram driver.

[Fish and Chip Shops]

There are several George's tradition shops which are very good, there are also George's fish and chips painted in the same colour, one on Beechdale Road called George's is not as good.

[Fish and Chip Shops]

Any pictures Phil?

[Padstow Bilateral (Comprehensive) School]

My old school Roland Green in Wilford was also Bilateral.

[How's your day?]

The Hattons own the valve shop in Radford, same family?

[Car Insurance]

Maybe it's a tin Lizzie  ? ( original name for the Ford T )

[What are you listening to now ??]

Dick a dum dum, they don't write them like that anymore, thankfully.

[Top of Woodborough Road - Mapperley]

I went to Stadium leisure in Basford on Tuesday, 3 course meal for £7.25.

Got a quote from Santander Den, it were nearly three hundred pound more !

Got a long list of quotes from Compare etc, but they are all dearer than mine, rising up to £1800. So might as well stay put. Just cannot figure why the massive increase. Is it my age or maybe something I said.

My current insurer LV went from £250 to £350, Santander quote was £180.

My day ruined already. Just received my insurance quote for the next year. It's risen from £328 last year to £678 !!! I am not a happy bunny. 100% + increase for no apparent reason. Time to consult 'Compare the market' methinks. Anybody got any recommendations?

I just got a good deal with Santander.co.uk 

[Dance Duck ?]

I knew a bus driver called Ann Shelton on NCT, she would be mid/late seventies now.

[St Ann's area 1950's]

I had a couple of mates who lived on Sutton Street, it was in the Meadows.

[What are you listening to now ??]

I was listening to radio Nottingham this morning, they were interviewing a chap called Philip from Bleasby about his flooded garden. He sounded a bit familiar somehow.

[How's your day?]

Did you all Gerrit ?

[All going wrong]

We want our Cooper back.

[All going wrong]

There could be a Santo clause.

[Our carbon footprint?]

We have got solar panels and an electric car, this is cheap to run but the outlay is more expensive. We have also had an air source pump installed recently so not sure on running costs yet. Our bills are quite low especially in summer. No more gas bills so hope this is lowering our footprint.
