Levi's 501s - button fly and shrink to fit. Nothing else would do.

I well remember the very first time I saw a pair of hot pants. It was a Saturday afternoon; pouring down with rain and we were sheltering in the doorway of Baker and Plumb on Derby Road. A girl scurried past on the other side of the road, by Wilson House, much to my dad's enjoyment. Were you that girl Caz?

Mmm. I haven't seen these particular birds but the Clifton family coat of arms incorporates two peacocks. So I'll go for ... peacocks.

No the office closed years ago. http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=17007 My mum worked in the accounts at NAAFI.

The NAAFI's head office was in Nottingham. It closed down when the government handed the food supply contract to Booker McConnell in the late 90s.

I did a lot of my O level revision to 301 on the transistor. Saturday afternoon sports programme with The Mouth. Memories, memories. !jumping!

I was far too young to go into PHs inn the very early 70s so it may well be that the New Welbeck operated as a Berni - but it wasn't terribly big. Maybe someone a little older (you know who you are) can enlighten. If not I can soon find out with a little digging. Berni Inns were listed in the phone book so they'll be in the 71/72 edition.

Queen Adelaide, Windmill Lane, Sneinton. A massive post war Home Ales pub (now Free House) with great views of the backside of Nottingham. Had an excellent pint of Spitfire in there a few days ago. If I'm in Kimberley I normally pop into the snug at the Nelson and Railway.

A Capri alongside a Classic. Groovy colours for 1963 B)

That's a Mk II Capri that came out in about 1974. The original Ford Capri was a two door coupe version of the early 1960s Ford Consul Classic. Of the later Capris it was accepted wisdom that Cologne-built versions were always more desirable than their Dagenham equivalents.

Curly is working at The Adelaide as well.

Yes, though I think their son is in charge of The Turf.

I frighten myself sometimes - there's just too, too much trivia between my ears:crazy:

The old bronze lanterns have been reinstated but they only serve to highlight the cheapness of the new lights - in all their galvanized pressed metal crappy glory. It would also have been nice if a little extra money could have been spent on the tram stops in Slab Square. The concrete on the platform edge is crumbling and the signs look as though they were lashed up by someone with a bit of spare sheet metal and a pop riveter.

Off the top of my head I think it's a little alleyway just off Trinity Square.

The News House was on Upper Parliament Street - close to the Co-op.

I popped in a week or so before Xmas just to see what it was like. In a word: ruined. I can't see how the New Turf can survive and the palpable lack of spending on the refurbishment would seem to confirm that the new management have a very short term view of the business. Bamber

Road works outside The Turf. Hardly a month passed by without something being dug up, renewed or removed. I think Marcia tried to get a rates rebate for all the aggravation over the years.

The likelihood is that Mansfield House is just one of the dozens of country houses and mansions that fell victim to the wrecker's ball in the aftermath of the Great War and the fundamental changes to the rural economy.

If the original image comes from where I think it does it may well be that the location has been misidentified by the vendor - assuming that "Mansfield House" is in Nottingham. The ? after Nottingham would indicate a degree of uncertainty on his or her part.

Fluoridation of the water supply is based on the premise that, to be effective, fluoride needs to be ingested so that the element is incorporated into the tooth enamel. More recent research strongly suggests that fluoride's effect is topical and, therefore, there is no need to ingest it but merely apply it to the surface of the tooth. The only caveat is that in order to avoid fluoridation (discolouring) of the dental enamel young children should be supervized to prevent too much toothpaste being placed on their brushes.

I'd also recommend strongly that you invest in a good electric toothbrush. They are several orders of magnitude more effective than the traditional brush.

Well here's my two ha'pence. The rate of dental caries amongst children is lower now than at anytime since the authorities started collecting records. This improvement is mirrored in the general population. The reason for this improvement is down to: 1) more frequent visits to the dentist and 2) (and much, much more significant) the introduction of fluoride into all brands of toothpaste on sale in the UK. There is no need to dose the water supply if everyone brushes their teeth twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride.

This is a bit clearer. And I came across this titbit. Maybe there is still time to ask Santa for one. http://www.british-genealogy.com/resources...tt/1177sam1.pdf

I've uploaded the scan. Its in JPEG format and about 800k.
