Gasometers. Are they still used? It seems to be many years since I've seen one. Used to be one just outside Lords cricket ground.

Don't get me going on how the Americans use cutlery... I had to spend a few weeks in Cleveland OH working with an IT team there a few years ago, absolute nightmare watching them cut the food up! Oh yeah, we do use a cake fork here, dead posh now...

Before the water sports centre was built at Holme Pierrepont we used to go swimming around there in the summer holidays. -

Ben, seems to be a lot of comments on football sites saying it was a waste of time and calling for a handicap system! Perhaps England should only play with 7 players or the smaller international clubs should have their own competition (winner gets to play with the big boys)... gotta laugh. IMO England just did what they had to do and until FIFA grow some this is how it will continue.

@DJ360 The joys of retirement! I make sure I have plenty of days like that.

Thanks for the history of the Company. I reckon my father worked there many years. As a young child he would take me with him whilst travelling through Lincolnshire and the coast (Skegness etc.) I was thirteen when he left (made redundant?) in 1967. My father went on to manage a newsagents in Bingham for a few monghs before he bought his own shop in Aspley in '68. -

My parents bought a newsagents in 1967 and I remember when decimalisation came in in the 70's that 20 Players No.10 were marked up at 19 1/2 new pence.
