DAH........ My brain don'tarf hurt

Of course he is afraid of pubs with kids in as he tends to leave his own in pubs

can you imagine the PM held up in traffic at bulwell market on his way home

wonder if rent is paid by direct debit or does a bloke call every friday

mind you inside 10 downing street us bigger than you think and they give tiny little sarnies you can only hold them km your finger and thumb

I live in a one bedroomed council flat in Tamworth and have no complaints

my favourite motown hit was Never been to me by Charlene - peter

I was going to boil it and a few veg after all some people cook the books

I will see about investing a few of my hard earned pennies in the book - hope the book tastes nice

we made and cooked cottage pie, burgers, pizzas and a stir fry and chicken cuirry. I will have a chat with the whiz kids at work and see about putting the recipes on line for you - I have to admit it I have not tried them on my own. I live in a 2nd floor flat so each time I go out I have two sets of steps so I guess that helps with exercise. I am thinking of going to some afternoon dances too - do I have to wear black tie and medals I wonder? Best wishes Peter

No I do not think I knew those girls

I know I was not bad at snowballs but I don't think I could have got it into your pocket no matter how I tried. I was at the age when we did not do O levels they kicked you out at 15 - glad to see the back of us - although to be fair I was a goody toe shoes as I was made a prefect - best wishes Peter

The name rings a bell - we used to live at number 43 - I know Shirley Bonser live on the house on the corner next to the shop

I regret I was not one of those singers. I do remember we had snowball fights on the playing fields usually at Lunch time. I remember one afternoon a mob of us waiting outside Mundella and as you all came out we bombarded you with snowballed. We were not aware your head teacher had forbidden you to throw any we just thought you couldn't find any snow so us rotten sods just kept throwing them

My sister went to Bentinck school - her name was Valerie Frankland or Armitage. I went for a short time. We lived on Wimbourne Road

I went to Trent Bridge and in the block was the wood and metalwork classes - I was really crap at both things and was kind of pushed to and fro. The Art class was in there too and at one session one of the lads did a nude painting and was marched to see Mr Green the head - he said nudity was a type of art but the art teacher agreed but said the picture was pornographic!!! I seen to think next to the block was a kind of Youth Centre Pop Williams sometimes took Music in

Yeah - I was diagnosed as Type 2 recently and I am one two tablets a day and trying to control my weight. I get a little exercise as I worked part time 16 hours per week. They booked me in at Wasitline and over two months I have managed to lose 4 kilo but have a long way to go. They also sent me on a cookery course at Sure Start. We were all old codgers single men on the course and we cooked portions we could and should eat. One chap ate what he cooked then called in at the chippie on the way home!!!

Hi Ray Yes generous to a fault was Tony - he now lives at Bestwood and we meet up now and again when I can get over from Tamworth. Tony also did a spell as a magician and enterttainer worked at the American Adventure with the Sooty show. I still work 16 hours a week for the Royal Mail - visiting schools, charities, groups helping raise money and giving talks Best wishes Peter

Hi there Yes my brothers name was Tony and he may have been with the scouts for a time but I cannot be 100% on that - put it down to old age and poverty!!! Best wishes Peter

My brother worked for a time at Radford Baths and yes I remember swimming in the Oval bath too

Yes Mick we were all- encouraged to do italic wrting and the school kep[t asking us to buy the Osmeroid pens - I got one forChristmas I remember in Moonfleet a chap called Cracky Jones who was shot in the face. Mr Medley opened the batting for the masters v scholars - he scored 5. The games teacher - Mr Acklam put a £1 on his middle stump and was cl;eaned bowled by a lad called Webber and yes he was given the money. The houses were old boys Bosworth, Lake, Laws and mine which was Pearson there were photos of them in the hall - I wonder what happened to them.

Yes it is such ashamd about the reunion - any other planned?

I remember a carpet shop on the corner of Bovril street I think it was called Krause

I spent about 18 months at Berridge in the 50s- - I remember the English teacher was Mr Merrick - Art Mr MacFarkand I think
