And you can add 'Just a Minute' to that. It was interesting word play, a bit stodgy at first, although from the 80s onwards it got much better. I still listen to recordings on YT. After 45 years it crossed over to TV and was then very entertaining with some more excellent contestants.

'Wallumboola base calling flying doctor'. It was on radio before television.

I wouldn't describe this as heaven but I found it the most fully relaxing and satisfying activity: sailing a simple Broads balanced lugsail dinghy in early evening when the power boats are moored up for the night and there's quiet apart from the lapping of water on the clinker hull. Tacking up wind to the end of the broad, turn around and gently run before the wind, rehearsing a few gybes on the way till the other end of the broad and repeat.

On the left hand side of the PTP Nequests pic there is a shop door entrance next the brick column. On the original pic there is no shop entrance on the left next the brick column -

It happened. I was in the Vernon at the time minding me own business, watching said film when a row of 5 or 6 seats arced across the auditorium in front of the screen accompanied by a lot of shouting and laughter. We then settled down to watch the rest of the film when the cops barged in, marched to the front and working front to back cleared the whole auditorium, guiIty and innocent. I never got a refund.

I'm listening to the new Boom Radio (DAB and online ) sounds good to me. It's got a sense of the old pirate radio days, only it's legal and a good mix of music. -
Factory at the corner of Haydn & Hucknall Roads

There were 2 rocking beam engines in those engine houses, the beams were at the top just under the roof. Each one had a flywheel about 25feet diameter, half of which were recessed in a big slot in the floor. The engines were built in the 1850s and installed when the station opened in 1857. They were still pumping water in 1957 when I had a school visit there. One of the engines was dismantled and erected at Wollaton hall museum. -

I'm same as Stavertongirl. Got no avatar etc on the top, I've turned the brightness up full. Android 10 on phone and on my tablet so I'm not going to log on me tablet. Both devices show no avatar. Cleared browser settings on both devices, restarted devices without success. Maybe it's an Android compatibility prob.
