Sir John Borlase Warren was born in Stapleford in 1753 and his family lived there for about 300 years, the Canning Circus pub is the impostor. Prior to the Wetherspoons JBW there was The Warren Arms across the road for about 300 years. To complete the link Marsden's shop at the Roache was owned by David Attenborough's baker and grocer grandfather back in the early 1900s.

He was escorted to to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there And when she finished he called her Rover

I don't understand that either but it's not compulsory to walk around with it. We do the shop grab a FREE coffee and paper then sit and relax and enjoy it in the cafe.

We normally use Waitrose for the Friday big shop but tried Morrisons last week, the cost difference was less than a fiver cheaper than our average and I didn't get a free paper and coffee.

Fly, Mr. Softee donkey engines were low compression Ford engines which were started on petrol then switched to TVO and closed on petrol. Mr. Whippy donkey engines were single or twin cylinder American Onan engines running again on TVO. Tonibell ice cream vehicles ran on LPG.and had an electric clutch on the main engine front pulley which powered a shaft to drive the ice cream machine.

OURA* I have a cousin Denise Webb as was.

Col. Looks like a bit of belt tightening by the Clinical Commissioning Group. GP practices are not contracted to provide the service and CCGs are not funded to cover the cost of sharps bin collection and disposal although they have done it for years. So now we have one rule, 4 councils and 4 different approaches. Broxtowe B.C. Complete a form - required to register - collection on Thursday needs to be available by 6.30 am - need to phone week before for collection. Nottingham City Council Register by phone - state how often required - phone to arrange next collection.

It's on my list Col. I see your first sentence and it would be easy to surmise that to be the case, but if so all authorities should work in a similar way. Catfan's posts suggest that he still enjoys a simple drop off service. Hopefully someone will know or more to the point admit to knowing.

The above is pure guesswork and incorrect. It has for many years, been the duty of the local authorities as waste collection authorities to arrange for the collection of household waste including clinical waste. They have now changed a simple drop off service at my local health centre to a system which involves many layers of council, NHS and even GPs. It is not something I consider unusual for a council organisation. Yes the NHS is responsible for my healthcare. I am required to provide blood samples to manage my condition (not diabetes) I could visit my GP or a hospital

Lizzie it is an absolute waste of resources and if it is made too difficult it will result in sharps being dumped. I would love to have been present when the Council was formulating that farce.

I Visited the health centre today for a full bloods check ready for my annual review next week. I asked as normal, if it would be ok to take in a sharps box at the review and was advised this is no longer allowed, although it was a simple two-stage process the system has been changed. It now involves Notts County Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, my health service practice, and my GP. Quite clearly this has been designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency for council tax payers and the NHS. How do I obtain the service? To arrange this service please contact Customer Services det

I think it may have been Pressac, they were in Stapleford and are now on Glaisdale Drive.

I've got one too, cleans my teeth, my tongue, massages my gums and gives me a signal after 2 minute which apparently is the optimum time. Presumably this is based on an adult having 32 or perhaps 28 if wisdom teeth have been removed giving an average of around 4 secs per tooth. I suppose the next model will be able to count how many teeth we actually have and adjust the time accordingly I could do with saving 20 seconds twice a day.

After hearing some educated 50 something person speaking on the radio in todays must do mockney accent and then listening to an Eddie Cochran track. I got to thinking that a lot of the music we loved, could be, with a little tinkering re-released for today's audience. Free Steps to Heaven - Eddie Cochran Air That I Breave - Hollies Hey Girl Don't Bovver Me - The Tams I Should of Known Better - Beatles I Fink of You - Merseybeats Sweet Nuffinks - Brenda Lee Deaf of a Clown - Kinks Don't

Hi Dave, I remember a few things about her but shamefully do not remember her name, she worked in the offices at Players.The day after I first escorted her home my next door neighbour David Barker, who also worked there, gave me a rundown of what had happened the night before. Your question suggests that you know a bit more than I do. Did she have a sister?

The butler was not slow paced when he strode across the road to collect his Jean Harlow lookalike daughter from our goodnight embraces. The friendship didn't have much future as her dad appeared to have sight of everything that moved in Strelley when his daughter was out and the walk home in the early hours of the morning was a bit creepy.

My cousin Jacqueline Hodgson b.1949 went to Guilford. She wasn't a Pinkett, she was a Hodgson and she is not a Wilson. Davidh2308 any more info, brothers, sisters etc ? If it is her I'll try and get in touch.

I am not aware of this but I'm out on Tuesday night with 4 ex Cripps men I worked with in the 60s. It's a long shot but I'll see if anyone knows. A few of the old Cripps plant men went to Sinbad Plant.

NBL The gateman I knew was John Linguard. Signwriting was outsourced the one I knew was Dennis ?

My recollection is that Cripps operated in Nottingham as Cripps of Nottingham for cars and commercials and R. Cripps co.Ltd. for the rest. At Triumph Road there was at various times a commercial vehicle shop - Commer, Dodge, International Harvester Lodestar, and Scammell Scarab. Commercial vehicle sales department. A tractor shop - International Harvester. A heavy plant shop repairs and hire - mainly Scammell A plant shop for refurbs to Drotts and IH bulldozers. An engine reconditioning shop for plant machines. A field services department for all plant

Looks like a Greaves, take your pick. https://www.google.com/search?q=greeves+motorcycles&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8_q-ckZzbAhXkKMAKHfidDBAQ_AUICygC&biw=1228&bih=1263#imgrc=Kb2Nbqis-kn3NM:

No sorry not me Frank.

Siddon's garage occupied the whole site along New street and Jenner Street. They were main Citroen dealers, previously Jowett dealers they also dealt in Ford and Austin. Ben Siddon and his motor trade cronies would gather regularly decked out in their plus fours ready for a shooting day out. There was a section of the stores area where he would hang pheasants and hares which he would occasionally give to 'the workers'. Hilda Hansen was indeed a posh frock shop. As an apprentice mechanic I used to volunteer to fetch cakes and fags so that I could look in the windows, not at the clothes but ther

I began my apprenticeship at Siddon's in 1961, just me and an old fellah 'Jack Slater' on Citroens. I think before Ben Siddon became a Citroen dealer he sold Jowetts I took my test in a Jowett Javelin. After a 'free transfer' I completed my apprenticeship at Cripps (commercial vehicles) Triumph Road.

In days of old I remember Canning Circus being snarled up regularly when the spring loaded poles on the trolley busses became detached from the overhead wires. This when there was very little traffic compared to today, no doubt it happened in other parts of the City but we were young then and it wasn't a problem to us, in fact it added a bit of spice to the journey.
