You were still the first, Mrs w said I can't sing, just goes to show what she knows !

Torchy, torchy the battery boy.

One of our neighbours has got the fittest garage in East Leake!!

Clarke's on Carlton rd sold Kawasaki, John Clarke used to race a H1 500 three cylinder in club races. Took me for a spin on one from the shop, absolutely ballistic in it's day with a wicked powerband. One moment you felt like you were on a 250Honda the next ( without warning) you felt like someone had rammed into the back of you at great speed. Always liked Kawasaki from then on.

He now has a Kawasaki dealership in Grantham.

Nice one Ben, sure it was Horace Rogers, more or less opposite Jersey Kapwood !!. Nice try CT.

There used to be a motorbike shop on Alfreton rd, roughly between Skills and Halls the locksmith, but for the life of me, can't remember the name. Bought a Yamaha 350 from them in 1972 reg no YTV 16K.

Reg king was a great friend of the family, he bought my fathers shop on st Ann's Well rd (101) and used to get me into the ice stadium for nothing. A very generous man, his son David would be a year or so younger than me, Reg would take us both to Redmayn and Tods to get toys, sports gear or whatever we wanted. He mostly drove Rovers, with the number REG 2. Although he did try a Jay XJ6 once but quickly went back to Rovers.

Your only as old as your body wants to let you be, just go and prove it's wrong!!

Why not book your self on a track day, plenty of excitement. Or even more of an adrenalin rush, nip over to Germany and get a few laps in round the Nurburgring!!

If I had been any sort of intellectual, i wouldn't have gone into steeplejacking 45 years ago !!

CT, you should get some soft of award for your ability of solve other folks dilemmas, genius, just genius. Not taking away contributions from other nottstalgians, but how you come up with the photos and maps just beggers belief, well from me anyway.

Don't know about that Beekay, non ov tha skools i went ta wus posh !

The best cure for insomnia is a good nights sleep!!

Have i aged well?, People say I look about 65, and I'm only 65

On this topic, does anyone know if Mick 2me is still running the site, or done a runner ? I liked his occasional inputs.

Hi again Carni, my name is in my profile i am trying to find that list that you mentioned, but struggling (only got my kindle here) but will keep looking.

That's a coincidence Carni, my grandparents lived on vicaridge st before grandad won the cafe on st Ann's Well rd,at a game of cards. Would be about 1950 - 52.

3 to 4weeks ? Your supposed to drink it, not let it evaporate !

That's terrible BK, 10 years old and didn't get paid !

There you go, your on your way to fame. What's next?

Make sure they put a antifreeze additive in the mix, and the temp is rising or else you will have problems!!

Nice one Clifton, it still don't jog my memory but seems logical. It amazes me where you get, -------A all your into from. And B------- magically find photos of anything that anyone enquires about. Well done for your input.
