Maybe I can add Yorkshire as she is spoke, on to my exams, might even try for Mid Caribbean accents.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't there used to be four cannons at the top of the entrance steps? Two on either side. We, as kids used to sit astride them and pretend we were shelling Bilborough and Wollaton.

Either that Gem, or give the chippie a ring and ask them to float your order down the beck, (in a Moses basket).

Phil, many years ago, my old dad ditched his 20 ton coal lorry, after slipping on ice, just outside of Grantham. When they went to pull it out the following morning, there wasn't a scrap of coal left. All disappeared overnight.

Didn't realise it was that classy and upmarket. Hope no natives are reading this.

Not snowing in Grantham close though Melissa. Just dull grey sky.

When we lived on Burford Road, I remember a hairdresser just round the corner from us that I used a couple of times. That was back in 1965 so couldn't have been the same chap, although same address.

Is that the view from your gates Nonna? If that's the case I will have to repaint the my little planter.

Once when delivering Birds Eye, had to go to Griffin & Spalding staff canteen which was on the top floor. This was accessed via a passageway on Long Row up to their back entrance, using a small lift. I hated doing this delivery because the lift was operated manually with a small lever and was very easy to overshoot /underreach your desired floor. Sometimes spent ages trying to get it right. I believe the alleyway went all the way up to Parliament Street. Parked the B.E. van on the Long row bus stops, much to the annoyance of the bus drivers. From there, across to Burton's.
Is that still there?

Sharpen the blade !

Totally agree with you Trogg 100%. (until some Neolithic moron comes up with a sarcastic comment).
The link to the video slide show was brilliant. Took me right back to the 60s.

That's what I thought Mary, but couldn't remember if it turned down George St. or Queens st. That bit and the bit around Woolies I was getting stuck on. But with bit of help from the club nottstalgia, I'm OK now. Behave yourself and no mugging blokes.
Edit. Never rang the bell on a runner but once, on 39 Carlton to Western boulevard, I had an occasion to jump off at Faraday Road and told the driver I was just nipping in public toilet. While there some bastard rang the bell and the bus left without me. I caught the next trolley following and caught up with mine at the terminus. My driver thought I'd finished and rang the bell !
