My sentiments exactly.

Just to put my bit in, for what it's worth, it seems to me that there is a vendetta going on here amongst a few members. Me, i won't take side's with anyone but, if this site is about nostalgia i think some folks need to think about what they post. At the end of the day, have your say by all means, but just skip the posts that don't interest you, i do and I'm sure others do. It's a great site with loads of info donated by all, so stop squabbling.

In answer to your question Ian, no, not been up that one! Don't ever remember it.

Well I know it's not the one in stabbo. The head and blocking is one that i can remember on that stack, very ornate.

And i enjoy having my memory jogged by your photos, the one's I'm not interested in, i skip. But there's lots of good stuff.

Is it a secret?.

Sorry Ian, don't recognize it from this side. Unless it's Highbury vale! (The hospital) Lots of octagonal stacks look very similar.

Lots of it went to France, USA, Australia etc the rest don't care!

Don't sit on a hot spoon whilst you wait!!

Just seen this thread and blimey, it brings back some memories. Especially Bonny Bill, i remember seeing him at the White Hart lenton performing his tricks on his bike. My then mate Rob used to live just around the corner from the White Hart and i wasn't old enough to have a motorbike, but we used to go and watch them all race up the road to Abbey bridge and back. Bonny Bill used to win most time's. His Bonneville had flat bars and a few tweaks to the engine and he always looked too small for the bike. Looking back, i suppose that's what got hooked into motorbikes, great day's back then.

Ya wouldn't like the butchers over here in India then!. Took some folks to the local market once and one said "blimey how could people eat that " i didn't have the heart to tell them that it's where the hotels got their meat.

Right then, here's one for the computer boffins, following on from my previous problem, my tablet used to show in 'large print ' but wouldn't let me reply ect. Now, it responds when in 'huge print' ! Does it know my eye's are failing?, and simply not bothering to let me use it? If so, how on earth does it know?

I'll have a word with the f.i.l I'm sure he will have known him. Small world init?

Hi again, played around with the tablet, after asking Mr G oogle and all is well again. And I know nowt about these things!!.

Quick update on my problem, it appears to be my tablet (probably an overdose) cos I can use shmbo tablet and everything is ok!!

Quite correct Phil, father in law knew him very well. Pat carvas used to drive for Raymond. Just out of interest Phil, did you know Thomas Clingo, who used to work for Raymond?

it appears to be only nottstalgia, i can get the posts up but have to reply using my phone!

help please, just today I've noticed that i can't do anything, reply, comment or anything on my kindle regarding the site. I've logged out and back in, rebooted it, getting to the stage where the next reboot is out of the window!!. all appears ok on my phoneso must be something I've done on the kindle. it keeps telling me "field required" but it won't let me do anything. any ideas please?

Nearly got sexually harassed in a lift when I worked for a short while at Hunt and Colleys on hucknall rd. Unfortunately someone else got in the lift on the next floor!!

Quite agree woody, i think that the majority on here would say the same, unfortunately it's not us you have to convince, it's them that make up the daft rules that need telling!!

Oh sorry, i meant the the things an idiot, didn't mean to be sexist.

Perhaps they like watching dirty films!

Gem, have you not read the previous posts? the man's an idiot !!

Fingers crossed or should that be eye's! Lol

Yep, you read it right!! Kind hearted bunch arnt we?. Unless it's for our soldiers or any other hero's!
