The Pianoman

P4 Rovers are not big money cars.

Had a bit of amusement to myself while sitting in the queue for the jab. Had a look around at everyone else in the waiting area and queuing outside and suddenly realised that everyone was 64

I got my sticker! I applied online, put my postcode in when asked, the only Nottinghamshire centre available to me was Pinxton. Everything else was in Derbyshire, even as far away as Derby City Centre. I went to Horsley Woodhouse. Although NG16 postcode does go into derbyshire, I wonder if this is being done to make the figures look better for Derbyshire

Sorry. Done a DJ360

Well I'm pickled now and my jab is tomorrow afternoon. Does this mean that the jab won't work or will something happen to me?

Overriders are on the wrong sides. Where in Basford is this to be viewed?

Blanchards on main road through Watnall. My father also worked there

Yes Sunblest. My Father worked there early/mid 60's

Having my jab on Wednesday. I am going to Horsley Woodhouse of all places. Could have gone to Pinxton but not many appointments available. (And besides I haven't got a spaceship)

Hello hello. I went to Eastwood Secondary School.

While out delivering my parcels, I delivered a parcel to a regular customer (that I know has artificial grass) a parcel that went 'glug glug'. (It was square and I thought it might be a bottle of Jack Daniels). Customer answered the door and I said 'this parcel goes glug glug.' She says 'yes its weed killer for my lawn.' So I says 'but you have artificial grass.' She says 'Yes but you still can get weeds coming through.' Apparently weeds and moss are normal and the weed killer I was delivering was a special week formula that doesn't discolour the artificial grass.

The 'proper' Eastwood accent has almost disappeared now and has become infiltrated with that very ugly Derbyshire accent from Heanor and Ripley areas. The old Eastwood accent is very much the same as Nottingham accent but is much 'thicker'.

All I have got on default now is large white panels on the palest of grey background. It is making the whole thing very difficult to look at.

I've just changed mine from 'Old Skool' to 'Default'. I don't like it but I can see everything now.

Homepage looks like this for me now. Not keen. Can it be put right?

Sure as 'ell nothing between their ears !

Yes it is still there but it always strikes me when I see it that it is NOT a shop where you REALLY go for stamp collections

And only did about 4 MPG apparently

Horrid things. Never liked driving them or riding on them.

Yes. No sense of scale on it.

You have got me thinking that it could be the one at bottom centre. He did say that the house was at the side of the lock but never mentioned Radford Bridge. Unfortunately his elder sister died earlier this year (didn't quite make 99). She would have known but now there is no one to ask.

Looks like it. Just had a look at some earlier maps and the area that is(was) nos 2 & 4 are just blank. Thinking about it, Dad said that his back kitchen was a approximately where the front lounge bar is on The Crown so yes, right at the front of the pub.

No it cannot be on any photo if The Crown is pictured. He was born at No. 2 which so far as I am aware and according to what he told me was pretty close to where the front of The Crown is now..

Yes I do similar for Hermes. I am supposed to be doing 2-2½ hours a day - I do it part time just to achieve a bit of regular income. When it peaked last time I was going back to the depot in the afternoon and doing an evening shift as well as all day! I was seemingly delivering more parcels than there is population. (Awsworth and Cossall). The plus side is that I have key worker status with a letter to show the police, or whoever might need to see it, so I can actually get out legitimately.

Yes thanks I had seen it and it came close. Page 46 has a picture of lock No 6. My fathers house(?) was just off the right hand side of the picture. Page 49 has a modern picture of the lock keepers cottage and the toll house. They were behind my fathers house. As I have said before, my fathers house (well it was actually owned by the LNER) was demolished to make way for The Crown. Any photo would have to be pre 1930.
