My Dad certanly thought so back in the early seventies when she was at GEM in West Bridgford for some reason, and he was driving the GEM bus. Had his photo taken with her, and was like a dog with two d***s for weeks.

My Dad tells the story of doing a "paddy" with one of the 501-522 series Leyland Atlanteans and going over the flyover at around 40 mph, and wondering if he'd need a change of underwear once he reach ground level.

Surprised not to see a picture of The Firs Maternity Hospital, where many Nottstalgians would have first seen the late of day (me included)

The R.D stands for Rural District, if this helps to throw any light on the matter.

Stavertongirl, I'm with you, loved the marzipan ones. It is virtually impossible to find any chocolate assortment these days that has a marzipan one. Unless somebody out there knows differently.

Saturday dinner was always bacon, eggs, and tarrantella tomatoes on fried bread.

Is there anybody that played club cricket in the 80s that didn't at some time replicate Bob's iconic run up?

Both Clive James and Jonathan Miller would have made fabulous dinner guests, and Gary Rhodes would have ensured the food was excellent. The world is a poorer place for the loss of ll three of them.

You might have done on 55s between October 65 and September 68, but I would have been a babe in arms and then a toddler.

BK, it would have been from September 68 until November 73, when my Dad brought a car.

RR, smashing photo. Brings back many memories. The Co-op had a bakery just inside the front door and on Saturday mornings I would be treated to a sausage roll before we caught the 53 to Crown Island on our way to visiting my Nan in Bilborough. (We caught the 60 from the Crown up to Burnside Green). I can also remember my parents being a three piece suite from Ideal Homes. I think that the next shop to the left, just out of shop would have been Fourbouys or perhaps Booths greengrocers.

The early Notts and Derby AEC trolleybuses had a dummy radiator fitted. Certainly not bi-mode just electricity.

Compo, I look forward to seeing many more of your photos (but not necessarily of otter poo) now that you have solved the glitch
