    It was across the road from my Gran's café, they sold second hand furniture and stuff like that.
  3. Dishwasher is the way to go, pot's all come out dry ready for the cupboard.
  4. Just out of interest, does anyone know what the Ad Lib night club was before, and when it became a night club?

    That might have been a one off,overseen by someone who had a explosives license, but Fred never had a license. His method of felling stack's might have been more cost effective, but believe me, it is not the most reliable method!. Did he ever mention the ones that went wrong?
  6. Look's just like the one John Bamford (the funeral director) used to drive.

    Just for the record, Fred didn't blow up chimneys, he couldn't get an explosive certificate, so he used to fell them using a rather crude method. Or if space was at a premium, would take them down, piecemeal. And yes, I've worked on that stack too.
  8. Lady across the road brought her new baby to show us, whilst holding it, it started crying, she said it wants winding, I punched it in the stomach but it still cried!!
  9. Can we get the council to buy lot's more, that should justify a decent poll tax increase for them to waste money on.
  10. I would think that this was more likely to be the tanning factory on London road near to Trent bridge.
  11. I was thinking the same about that last Chinese we had!!
  12. My ex workmate always used to collect old pidgeon poo from inside the belfry when we worked on churches. But said it was too hot for his tomatoes.
  13. I always thought that sucking a fisherman's friend was a bit dodgey!!.
  14. And don't forget, in a few years time, all this bio gas stuff will be not very good for you!. The same as diesel was the way to go, years a go, and now that the " powers that be" have had they're revenue, its not good to use diesel. Some folk's just can't see it !
  15. What were the ones with equal sized wheels, they made great trolleys (soap carts)the big wheels like above always tended to buckle if you cornered too hard.
  16. Would it be the pattern on the wallpaper?
  17. Or four fruit salad! Or even two black jack's (are we allowed to call them that?) and two fruit salad.
  18. My dad always said that locks and bolts only keep honest people out!
  19. Try this then, many years ago, at least 30, my dad got burgled and the scumbag fell through the glass coffee table, dad had to pay £125.00 compensation for his cut arm. Scumbag got some sort of "don't do it again" warning. Dad had all the crap to sort out, plus an increased insurance premium. That's what I call justice!!! Not.
