Braintree is clearly the centre of the whole universe, I bet none of you have ever been there.

[Demolished Memories]

[Growing up in Bilborough]

I used to ride a Co-op delivery bike with groceries up & down around Wigman Road, hard work.

I was the 'Granville' for 'Marsdens' up and the hills of old Bestwood est ,that also was hard work,and looking back i liken it to life ever since,thats had many ups and downs.

[Joey saying hi.]

AY JOEY, WELCOME,.............however you are in Derbyshire,they just gave Sandiacre that post code to make you feel better.

[Where is the centre of England?]

'NO MANS HEATH' and the 4 counties,that brings back memories Stephen, of my journeys to Brum before the M42, a pleasant drive in those days,took alot longer but did it matter? and yes a good place for the centre methinks.

[A Nice Start to the Day !]

Breakfeast on you then catfan,Wetherspoons Bulwell ?

[New Tram]

Oh yes i remember it well now

[New Tram]

WHICH island was the 'kamikazi one Ashley?.............yes i am within walking distance of the Tram and the other public transport still takes longer than theTram with the traffic etc. and is not so regular.

[The Cane (corporal Punishment) !]

There was a fair bit of 'corporal punishment' at Padstow in the 50s but nothing over the top, we accepted it and one Teacher always added after the deed,'now what do you say? the answer he was looking for and always got was, 'THANK YOU SIR'

[New Tram]

I CAN ONLY speak as i find, the tram is handy,comfortable,clean and cheap,i no longer have the hassle of driving into town and finding somewhere to park at great expense,and i mostly end up having a chat with someone.i am sure my trips into town would be far less frequent without it.

[New Tram]

I agree bazza' the Tram is great, and promotes people talking to each other,rather than sat in a jam by ya'sen. Our road system is also good but there are just too many cars,or i should say people,.......we are full!

[Forgotten Comedians]

Amazing how threads evoke memories,when 'chullah' mentioned 'chick murray' i instantly recalled me Mam singing and Dad standing behind her pulling the faces 'chick' used.,and all the family laughing.

I am sure family laughter was far more prevelent in the 50s,or was i just lucky?

[Growing up in Bilborough]

I THINK THERE WAS MICHAEL,just off the island before Farrands,bilboraborn will know.

[Growing up in Bilborough]

Sad that Ray,chromo offices just the same as Farrands back in 60s,more houses i suppose.

[Growing up in Bilborough]

The house in the grounds of Farrands was occupied by a Bloke called Joe Scothern and his family and he and his two sons were the 'mechanics' for all Farrands vehicles,an old workmate Bernard Montgomery' (how could i forget his name) married Scotherns' daughter.
