Thanks for that I thought I was going potty !!

Did they mention Polesworth or Tamworth area in general?

An allyway between 2 houses was a snicket and a path through the local waste ground was a jitty although I also seem to remember a local dyke ( not the female but the stream ) being referred to as the jitty!! http://www.websmileys.com/s.gif' />

don't know what I had been doing when I wrote this gibberish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what I meant to say was that there were three brothers one of the brothers was called NuNu he was more the business brain I can't remember the name of the one who was the manager but the third brother( who wasn't the full shilling) was more of a goffer.

Which is what the bike is propped up against .The garage could be Mann Egerton

Is it in Lenton ? near the Albert Ball Memorial home

He lived a long while in Polesworth I signed him up to the RAC in 1990 and he was still there in 2001 when I dropped into the coop in Tamworth and mentioned it to the RAC man on duty (he said he still saw him occassionaly doing his shopping) I know it don't mean he was still living there but it's a bit too much of a coincidence

First records for me (yes I was rich bought 2 at the same time)Christmas money actually "I'd Like to teach the world to sing"( in perfect harmony)By the New Seakers 1971 and Deck of cards by David Frost, a mickey take on Wink Martindales hit it was very funny when I first heard it in the store he must of seen me coming!!!

The levi ad is Nick Kamen he had hits himself with "Each time you break my heart" (his biggy) made number 5 stayed in the chart for 12 weeks in 1986 and 4 smaller hits up to "I promised myself" in 1990. I think he was championed by Madonna my favorite ad music was the old Cathay Pacific (airlines) ad that used a piece of music called the flower duet from Madam Butterfly (I think)

We used to call her Beehive cos of the hair do,and the house was near knipton in the vale (back of Belvoir castle ) and yes the pub that got the door bricked up was the Windmill although some of the internal scenes were filmed just up the road in the Peacock I used to drink in the Windmill in the late 80's (played pool for them and stayed over a couple of times when I had had a bit too much to drink!! ) The land lord (Matt ) used to tell us some funny stories about the filming sessions there. My ex fiance (Alison) worked at Asda when they filmed there.
