Dave 48

Hi anybody on here worked at Baker And Plumb or shopped there on a regular basis. I worked there straight from school for two years. Started 1965 to 1967 and worked in the office which was based on the upper floor through a door which was just off the main furniture showroom. I worked In stock control and everybody else in the office were a lot older than me but there were some right characters. I worked opposite a lady called Lottie who had a cigarette permanently in her mouth and never drew down on it therefore having an inch or more of ash all the time. There was a guy whose name escapes m

I heard it used in the 60's along with faitin and Scraitin ( fighting and crying I believe ) correct me if I'm wrong and that was Ilkeston / Eastwood area.

I do like the look of this squad with a few exceptions. Personally I would have taken John Terry but not Chris Smalling, Phil Jones or James Milner.

Just found this thread. I went to Peveril from from 1960 - 1964 and others I can remember were Carol Wade, Pat Whincup, Christine Ward, Janet Ward, The Duffy twins Maureen & Margaret, Lorraine Coats, Christine Scott, Malcom Jarvis, Johnny Manners, Andrew Bridges, Kenny Bull, Phillip Dobson, Sue Kinton, John Evans, Lee Evans. Also in my year but not my class was Sue Pollard Teachers I can remember were Mr Ward ( Headmaster ) Queenie Lee ( Headmistress) Mr Pratt, Mr Wragg Mr Fletchem, Mr Cole, Mr Pugh Bernard ? ( R.I. ) Mr Skillbeck, Any of the above on here ?

I think they have bought Sandie Shaw out of retirement..... Still a looker and still got the voice too !

The memories I have of going to the Jaguar are with my ex Father In Law Bill Matthews aka " The Cheeseman" anybody on here remember him? He used to pull up in the car park open up his car boot and the next thing they came out the pub and descended on his car like a plague of locust

Done up like a kipper lol
