The Pianoman

Thanks. Auction starts at 11.30. Its railway stuff I am interested in. As I have only just found out about this one I may just watch the bidding online and see what happens.

@BeekayBarrie. Do you happen to know anything about an auctioneers in Lewes by the name of Wallis and Wallis? They do toy auctions and there is one tomorrow.. Mainly, are they reliable? They will post lots out or so it says on their website.

I have just been told that a van has run into a number of people at one of these places, I know not which.

That's because his name was Pike

I have got a couple of those that don't work or are iffy. I also have one that does work!

I've always thought that Suthull was the correct pronunciation used by older locals to Suthull. The locals that pronounce it South-well are immigrants to the area that think Suthull isn't snobby enough for them. Might be rong of course!

I do that deliberately nowadays. Same with Percy-phone.

Derby Friargate through to Nottingham Victoria and beyond I assume.

Presumably you don't need a licence to watch ITVX if you are not watching at the time it is broadcast?

I'm on a desktop and my opening screen defaults to the screenshot above.

Not quite. Gardening and dancing are a definite no no.

I have done that for years. I only have two feet so I can only wear one pair at a time so why have more?

Thanks. I thought the Guys were wartime.

Musicians do think differently. I certainly do. I am also aware that I am 'different' to the point that I am proud of it.

That is the one that did the last service July 1966. Sandtoft or someone involved with Sandtoft also have 578. I believe there is also one of the 4 wheeled Karriers now complete and running.

We moved to Eastwood in 1959. We would have been travelling to Nottingham and back. I don't remember any Guys although I am aware that MGO had them. They were wartime products.

I suppose I could be related to him.

So its quite possible that we have been on the same buses at the same time between those dates!

Here's another one for you

Yes I remember them. B3 and C5 usually had that type due to them having the same start and end to their journeys but a different routes to get there. Both ran Nottingham to Brinsley by the same route but then one went to Alfreton direct whilst the other went scenic route via Westwood and Jacksdale. The clever people at Trent/Barton now have both routes with the same name plus the old B1 route from Nottingham to Ripley all with the same name - Rainbow 1.

Looks normal to me.

The last Bristol FLF bought by Midland General and also the last Bristol FLF manufactured now privately owned.

I'm just down the road from you at Eastwood but like BK I'm no lady. I'm also 66 and quite happy to communicate.

Can you save your findings to flash memory card or similar?

Yes I've been doing mine myself. Fortunately there's none on top. I can only guess that the attempts I made weren't too bad. I never saw anyone laughing
