PP, you can't go far wrong with a set of Wahl clippers from Argos. Good worker and not pricey.

That goes for me too Albert, from down here in deepest, darkest Sussex.

That's wot I thought too !

Nothing to do with this thread but I've just watched a YT video of the bus route 78, Strelley to City Centre, (the old 62 terminus at Flamsteed road). Got to admit it was quite fascinating sitting on the top deck and doing the journey through its new route. Got lost from Maid Marian way and didn't realise what a turmoil Broad marsh is. It must be a nightmare trying to negotiate around that area, especially for a visitor or ex-pat like me. Those of you who drive round there, you all have my complete and utter admiration. An exile.

Many Happy Returns Barbara.!

If you want 'burly' that's what I have 'er indoors for. She does all me concrete mixing and lifting etc. She used to be a Stoker on a merchantman.

If Ida known, I woulda popped up on me bike, (fence posts strapped to crossbar) and done it for £32.75.

An old mate of mine, years ago went to do a quote for someone he wasn't too keen on. He looked at the job and didn't particularly want to do it so he "Loaded" the price. The customer agreed, say that was fair enough. So my mate thought "Sod it "! and did the the job. He said it was quite lucrative.

That's because the sun shines out of it Ian.

One tries, dear heart. One tries. If I make you smile just once, my work is done.

Thank you ma'am, flattery will get you everywhere. But you're right, I do know how to spoil her. Only last week I bought a set of scouring sponges and some new dish cloths.

That 'Light at the end of the tunnel, Just make sure it's not the headlight of bloody great train coming toward you !!!

Done my good deed for the day. Treated 'er indoors yet again. This time I've bought her a new kettle for the kitchen. What with a new ironing board, a new kettle and got her a new Covid jab. I know how to spoil 'em!

I remember parking' my car in Camms depot, when they took us to the Grand Hotel, Sandown, I.O.W. That was back in the late 70s. Also remember being at school with Valerie Camm circa 1957.

I reckon this mask wearing is a great idea. I managed to hold up and Rob three stagecoaches on the A27 last month.

Change of subject again, Query for PhilMayfield, as you have experience in the subject, can you tell me if you can do abdomen injections in a sitting position, ie, on the edge of a bed or should they be done standing?

Don't know about anybody else but I can't see the maps because bloody photobucket assessment boxes and ads. A pain in the area map. !

Leebo_c, Thanks for your feedback, it tallies with what I thought about it being circa 1964. I was dating it from what was NOT on the map, which coincides with my time on Nottingham City Transport. Glad to be of some minor help. Regards, Beekay.

Leebo_c, welcome to the Ministry of assistance. Reference to your grandads maps, is there no printers name anywhere around the edge of anything on the back? Forgive me if you've already explored this possibility. I'm looking forward to the outcome of your quest. Good luck. B.

That used to be a halfway decent show but inane banter between Armstrong and Osman leaves a lot to be desired. I've stopped watching it.

NonnaB, Tina and I once attended wedding at the cathedral which was preceded by a full mass. We were in there ages, the longest wedding I've ever been to. And only bloody orange juice at the reception.

CT, it must have opened before then. I'm only saying because I remember as a conductor when the 53 was extended to Green lane, Clifton. That must have been up till November 1964, when I turned 21 and went into the driving school. I was the second conductor to make that shift. The lad who did it the week before me collapsed with exhaustion, when getting back in the depot. (Sunday service only to Clifton).

Carni, at my wedding the vicar said "Do you take this woman to be your loyal wedded wife"? I replied, "Why do you want her"? "Of course not"! said vicar, So I said, "Well why the hell are you trying to Palm her on to me for"!

There is no flyover at Clifton Blvd and University Blvd. So about 62/63. I recall being on the 53 service, Mansfield rd. to Dunkirk remember the turn round being that island, prior to it's extension to Clifton.

Don't tempt fate CT., They might taking stuff out of your arm instead putting it in !
