# 17 carni was there a small electrical shop by the name of Hopkins on main rd gedling, just up from the dentist I went to school with a lad called Jebb who has something to do with diddyland Mapperley top. i think the man that owned the electrical shop was his uncle.

I remember broomhill house, it was where I was sent from Chandos st school just prior to leaving to see what work I wanted to do, I remember that day looking out of the window and seeing Starbuck butchers and I asked him if I could work there, he said there were no vacancies but there's a job in the confectionary department at the co-op in meadow lane nottm and thats where I started my first job leaving school. I often wonder if broomhill house is still there.

I would absolutely love to be there Carni but we live near Skeg and its also our anniversary on that day and we will be away. I do hope you have a great time. I seam to remember the barbers shop wasn't it below the british legion on the same side before the crossings?

Welcome from me Walter I like the 'Evening all bit you'll get us all runnin scared. Teeee Heeee

#6 Stu Thanks for that Stu.

Before the days of Tom Tom and technology when sent out to do a job, many a time we'd have to ask someone the way, and we was nearly always directed to turn left or right at a pub and what names some of these pubs had. one comes to mind 'The Spanker' as I remember it was a place called heage near Ripley. Then there was 'The Squinting Cat.' can't quite remember where it was I think it was in a pit village Derbys. Not sure if there was one called 'The Flying Bedstead, plese correct me if i'm wrong.
