That was because you were all nesh. When I mentioned this topic to my wife she asked me why men fold loo roll to use it but women screw it up. I did ask her how she got this info.

Pity it didn't have a picture of Doctor Beeching on it as well. I'd definitely used more of it.

In Nottingham they would see that as a front pretending it was for the benefit of the people who live there. If there wasn't loads of money in it for them, then they wouldn't give a toss.

We were faster than Ernie!

I still prefer to flush it down the loo.

I never got opportunity to visit the Lidos. My local baths as a kid (Beechdale not built then) was Radford. Problem there was the chlorine. Radford was an area where the fitted bathroom suite hung on a nail on the wall outside. It was a bit of a pain bathing all the kids in that so it was easier to send them swimming. Which was why the authorities made sure that there was plenty of chlorine to kill the germs (and probably the smell). OK. I understand all that, but can you remember how Arnies eyes went in the no oxygen areas of Mars in the film Total Recall? Well my eyes weren't far off bein

The ancient Brits added their poo to their s--t heap along with all the animal poo. They regarded it as a valuable asset. Remember. Poo is biodegradable but they probably didn't have such a word in those days. You can only get out what you put in and it all belongs to the delicate food chain. Allotment holders take heed!

I think they got wise to it because they use those fancy little sheets now.

I was relief man on that round but can't remember delivering to the filling station on Bramcote Lane/Thoresby Road. We did do the Co-op filling station on Wollaton Vale. I also worked there in the evenings for extra dosh. Not many self service in those days. Those co-op carts were OK. Very easy to work from. When we had to have a diesel on occasions they were very difficult as the back was higher up and I'm only a little shorta---e. Problem was, in that hot summer of '76 the battery acid kept drying up.

That's because you used the wrong side. It had a smooth side and an absorbent side. When I started on the railway I did carriage cleaning and they had Izal in the carriage loos. Nobody ever nicked the loo roll in those days.

There are a couple of good one-liners here but unprintable.

Unless you'd been drinking Guinness then it was all up the sides. But there is another thing. Why is loo roll so darned expensive? Why has it gone up so much in the last couple of years? Is it because we can no longer bare whoops sorry. bear to use the Daily Mirror? I think whoever sets prices know what we can't do without so they make sure they get in plenty of profit.

Trevor. I used to deliver their milk in the 70s. They had all the bunting up across the road for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. When it rained the stuff got heavy and drooped and we accidently dragged it with us when we reversed out. But I remember the ad. Mum used to shout us in to watch when it came on. I am pretty sure it was tide because of Alan Freeman. Ten quid was a lot of dosh in them days. Still worth having now.

Hey Piggy! I'll bet you didn't do that with the Cod Liver Oil! LOL.

Compo. So are parking wardens.

I can't think where this is leading to, but as for travellers sites, I have no idea what the council would offer, but would they consult with anyone over this? As for whether the tram is of any use to you or not, the Council do not give a jot. All they are interested in is the money they can squeeze out of you. How long will it be before they find a way of charging you to park on your own driveway. That is after the prices of houses with private parking places rocket.

Of course. If it was in the window of a bus you paid the driver as there was no conductor LOL.

Would Daisy need a bi-sexual made for two?

I think it was Tide the soap powder who seized on a street or road with the word 'white' in it and get various people from that road to spill out some bull about how good the soap powder was. I think Alan Freeman the DJ was one of the interviewers. They did Whitemoss Close off Wollaton Vale - it became 'Shining Whitemoss Close'. I wonder how much free soap powder they all got.

When my dad used to walk me along the canal at Wollaton to see my grandma in the early 60s, on seeing all the rose-hips growing along the banks he used to tell me about a government scheme whereby people could collect rose-hips and redeem them for cash (but not a lot of). I think it was either during the war or just before. The reason was because Rose-hips are so rich in vitamin C, they used to produce Rose-Hip Syrup to boost peoples resistance to colds and flu.

"..........and the lights all went out in Massachusits" I agree with melton. The world is full of professional fraudsters and the loser is always the bloke who has nothing, and because of this he can't afford to challenge things.

Is that because the owner can't spell?

If my scales could talk it would say "one at a time please".

You'd have known it was a bloke on a bike with a headcam, you'd have seen more of the pavement and jumped a few red lights. Oh dear! What have I said.

It soon comes
