Surely address would be far more important than name.. Their have been examples of people turning up with a bag full of votes..all totally legal.. DJ. your last post sent my screen haywire! Very similar to viewing YouTube! Heavy data me thinks... Come Friday the 13th will we be up Wolf Creek without a paddle..

www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory/clarks-polyvelts A fashion accessory sported by the majority of the teacher's at my school.. Along with the leather elbow pads on the tweed Jackets. Could you buy jackets like this? Or did they sew them on themselves?

OK..?? Not going out...liked the Tim Vine stuff. Later episodes..Lidl wine was funny. The Dump wisecrack in the haunted house Christmas special was also a very good predictable classic!!

Stuff just gets better... dectects an incoming call? For over five decades my cast iron excuse is 'i had my headphones on ' . You can only have so many baths in a day! Agreed, useful tech if you like your listening interrupted...but keep it to yourself...

Interesting watch.. Episode 5 of 'Murder, Mystery & my family' on the BBC, broadcast last Friday', covers a case in Nottingham in the 1930"s. The barge episode no 2? Also has a Nott's connection..

Yes, that's it! Apologies for the number gaff, obviously should be odd.. number 9 apparently! Overall this area Looking good..glad to see that lovely window & presumably sill are still there. Fireplace? The website more focused on food than decor..enough to call call me back for a visit early next year!

Think was free curry..soup kitchen around Canal St about 1992. Think it had a church connection. Friend of mine used to help out there.

Still a few quid to made off politics betting...but it's getting very difficult nowadays...unless your guaranteed to be stuffed, you are surrounded by Hyprocrisy. I would never bet on football. but, Why do they offer the long sheets on football... I have never figured the logic behind these long sheet coupons... for interest with my son I invested 12 pounds for fun..knocked back at the counter...the differential 87 and a half pence on a double or more importantly would they have denied me the bet if the said 87p had been in their favour? If the bet had be

Strange, I know but can't recall the Malt Cross..Do remember a Chinese Restaurant that would sell you a bottle of lager, I'm guessing roughly the same location below street level, well after 2am. What was the name of that 'corridor pub'. Free entrance, just up from the second cookie club on St James St same side, used too attract night workers looking for a beer.l liked it in there, good fun atmosphere. also the big club up the same alley but on the left, about 3 floors, wasn't the main room dancefloor surrounded by some sort of cage? On the top floor, they had so

Anybody have any recollection of, if I recall correctly no 10 Pelham St. Became the original Cooke Club about 1991. I was always fascinated by the fireplace in there, & the fact it was a nightclub in general. I do recall it being formally known as the Pelham Club, way before my time..

Gem, pure guesswork on my behalf..The Old Malt Cross, I know St James's St really well..but when friends mention it I have no recollection! Edit...the Palais? Which leads me to a question? Those with more life experience, where did you enter the palais? When I attended the Metal Mickey Rock Disco from about 1982, take your pick Monday nights, Friday nights & Saturday afternoons it was always the Covent St end. Very basic, Set of stairs with a table and a till. In the late 90's the entrance was just left of the main upstairs entrance, with what

20 minute film about Raleigh on Talking Pictures next Wednesday 3,50 pm, made in the late 1940's. Love to see a couple of familiar faces but ain't holding my breath..

I only ever went here once, on my birthday & had been to the Mardi Gras, very likely a sunday..asked the bar staff where we could continue the night... I didn't want it to end with Frank Marino's cover of Purple Haze! ..Took our about 12 strong entourage ages to find.. remember the DJ playing Gabriel's Sledge hammer that was released a few months earlier..

Anybody attend the Fairport Convention convention at Rock City., I won free tickets on Radio Trent to the first.. there were at least two..about 1980-82.

Happy Anniversary Beekay ! You are over 60 years of age and thus fit the current criteria. Does make me wonder what represents Nostalgia however. If you don't talk about 1980's Nottingham record shops especially early morning, this is a great site... Currently a ten month old..and spitting out my dummy..

This was about 1975 first broadcast on TV..by 1984 i had a video recorder and had about 12 shows on VHS (long binned). Dave Dee name cropped up always in the end credits. Possibly just some minor UK distribution thing. Have about 40 DVDs of the Radio Bremen archive. They Looked after it..unlike the BBC. There's a real tantalising clip of Free doing The Hunter ..9 secs only! If I remember correctly Aachen Festival 69. Probably the earliest known live film footage. Whole song might be there now with utube etc..haven't had broadband since 2014. regarding RSG..

Couple of others.. Ballad of easy rider..Byrd's or Fairport..would be my personal favourite interpretations. The Weight by the Band.. great song..also liked Smith's version over Spooky Tooth's which probably charted in the short term..

Totally agree, obviously some form of military instillations.. Ignore the map..Take another look at Paddy..the original posters enquiry..

Lyrics, to me, are pretty much irrelevant. On paper can appear nothing, factor in everything else and a brilliant piece of work can be created. But they do catch the ear. Compo..I would have picked that also & Conquistador. A Couple of others. Bus Stop..The Hollies Paper Sun..Traffic I will leave out Syd,.. Beekay...How lucky to see Glen Campbell! I saw I few legends in intimate venues. Thing of the past nowadays! I Blame the internet! Could ramble on..

Agree Fly.. Cliffton.. 'Dinner with Jimi' is worth a watch, DJ.. Dave Dee, i think, still owns the right's to the fantastic Beat Club footage..way superior to OGWT. Feel a calling to listen to Brian Setzer doing 'Nightingale sang' & his big band orchestra in general!

As previously stated..happy to be wrong.. Glad to know that they appear to be Military instillations. Had visions of Halfway Houses or possibly overspill... Dark Angel...I know nothing about raiiways but i do recall reading about hospital trains arriving at Thorneywood Station during the First World War.

Paddy..your recollections appear to be in living memory, So I hope I'm totally wrong here! I'm sure I read a reference to a 'hospital' on Ransom Road pre 1920. CT..what date is the map?

Moonlight flits..me thinks Mary1947, Grandad born 1891 recalled being 'on the move' constantly as a child under ten years of age. This was Manvers St to Bath St area. Grandad was the youngest of four..all baptised..all birth's registered with different street names. The 1880's.90's and 1901 census had the same results.

Ann..Spent three hours looking into this earlier this evening.. achieved nothing but a headache! My ancestor was a gunner..thus I made the assumption 6 guns 4 men equals 24, there were 10 companies in total only three served in his Theatre(72)(probably wrong). Have his discharge papers and this all appears to fit..feel a total ignoramus however when it comes to infrastructure, facts & figures.

Ann, yes 'out' pensioners I now recall as being the more common term, thanks for the confirmation that uninjured soldiers also received a pension. Regarging my ancestor I have researched down to 24 or possibly 72 men. Other than reading his Officers diary he will sadly remain an 'other rank'. Rob.L Good to know that your family's heritage is is in the appropriate place. Can never understand these programmes like flog it.. Claim .. got nobody to pass it on to.? Personally I would be buried with it! Rob.L and Annswabey I have a few questions re
