I didn’t know I had a cafe in Melton ….. interesting

Been to Melton Mowbray market today, not a great deal going on, a lot of empty stalls in the covered "tat" market and not many people about, the street market was worse half the stalls missing compared to two years ago, I got talking to a lady who owns the Mrs B's cafe and she said today the market is a lot bigger to what it has been of late so it must have been very poor, shops wise once again a lot have closed down and now empty, there are however plenty of Vape shops, barbers, mobile phone repair shops and a smattering of the usual charity shops, I did see one butchers shop with a queue out

Yes, I’ve just been re-reading that book. It mentions quite a few people I once knew, now no longer with us. With the possible closure of the airfield to build a massive housing estate there’s a Facebook section filled with the opinions of the objectors.’Save Nottingham City (Tollerton) Airfield)’. I think it’s inevitable that the development will go ahead. When I look online at ‘Flight Radar’ the usage of the airfield is very low and my old alma mater, the Sherwood Flying Club, has an outdated website and isn’t the buzzing place it used to be. I suppose the cost of private flying is out of re

County - In front of 11,656 fans, no doubt many from Stockport saw the Magpies thumped 2-5 at home against Champions, Stockport County. Paddy Madden scored a hat-trick in the first half to put the game beyond doubt even at that early stage. His second goal was a penalty after Cowley's handball. 5 minutes after half time Stockport went further ahead with a goal from Antoni Sarcevic. The Magpies eventually opened their account with a goal from that man Macauley Langstaff in the 61st minute and two minutes later Dan Cowley bagged another for Notts but all too late as Etham Pye hit Stockport's 5th

My Mum, who passed on last September, always said she spent her early years somewhere called 'Nut Yard' which would likely have been in either Radford or Bobber's Mill. She was born 1923, and by 1929 was living in Grindon Crs Bulwell Hall. My maternal family's association with the old Gatehouse at Bobber's Mill is well documented, but I can find no reference to 'Nut Yard' anywhere. Can any of our local historians help? Col

Stags - A 1-0 win at Field Mill last night against bottom club Forest Green Rovers. It would have been many more except for the efforts of Forest Green's 'keeper Vicente Reyes who made some fine saves. It looks like Stags 'keeper was only really troubled twice during the game. The win puts them back into the automatic promotion spots in third place, three points behind Wrexham and two ahead of MK Dons with a game in hand over both clubs. Home against 4th placed MK Dons on 13th of April. For anyone that cares this is the first of my predictions and has proved to be correct.

County - On the winning list again at last. Their first win at Meadow Lane under Maynard. That man Langstaff popped in a penalty during time on in the first half after Luca Ashby Hammond saved a spot kick. County scored twice in the second half with goals from Jones and O'Brien. Harrogate had its' chances but could not convert them to goals. Away at Walsall next Saturday. 15th on the ladder, there is not much interest left for County fans as a mid-table position looks likely after a promising start. Stags - Crawley Town crush wobbly Stags 1-4 at Field Mill knocking them out of an automati

County - A 3-3 home draw against MK Dons in front of 10,000 plus fans moves them up one place to 15th. MK Dons scored 1st in the 19th Minute and it stayed that way until time on at the end of the half after Sam Austin equalised to take them in to the half time break on equal footing. Straight after the restart Alassana Jatta gave the Magies the lead. The Dons reclaimed the lead in the lead with the first of Ellis Harrison's brace in the 64th minute followed by another 20 minutes later. Aaron Nemane got a last gasp equaliser for County that denied MK Dons the points necessary to take them clos

Today is one of those beautiful mornings, clear blue skies, hardly a breath of wind, 20 degrees at the moment forecast top 26. We are having a welcome Indian summer. Just cooked breakfast on the BBQ out on the patio looking at the sea which is like a mill pond. Fried bread, 1 egg, heaps of mushrooms, two very spicy chevapicic sausages, the square ones so they don't roll about on the BBQ so you can cook them evenly and a large truss tomato that smelled and tasted like it was from my grandads back yard green house. Having demolished that, just having a second cappuccino and going to read the pap

What are you listening to now ??

I saw Clive Lynch a few times in the pubs and clubs, he used to have a cafe in Beeston. -
I think I would have been the same about that to be honest nonnaB. I would never dream of doing something like that, pets are family you are a visitor. I must admit I always take notice when any of my dogs have not taken to someone, makes me wonder what is wrong with them (the person not the dog) and it tends to make me wary of them. Had a quick look at the offending lump today, just feels the same, it is hard to see because of where it is and he does have very hairy feet (he has hairy ear canals as well apparently so the vets say which can make him prone to ear infections).

When I was an apprentice toolmaker, back in the sixties, and doing night shift 10:00pm to 7:00am one of the guys used the factory crane to pull the motor out of his Zephyr 4. It was a 4 cylinder 1700cc motor. He had stripped the motor right down and had the cylinder head on a Parkson Milling machine being skimmed, the block was on a Newall Jig Mill/Borer boring and honing out the cylinders and skimming the block and the crankshaft was on a Jones and Shipman cylindrical grinder having the journals reground. All this was happening around 1:30 am when to his horror the managing director who had b -
County - Sadly back to their losing ways and fall to 14th position after a 1- 2 loss at Meadow Lane to now 19th placed Salford City. Conor McAleny put Salford ahead in the 32nd minute with goal that went in off the post after Sam Austin was dispossessed. Dan Crowley equalised for the Magpies 9 minutes after half time. Both sides could have added to their tallies in the second half until McAleny got his brace in the 87th minute to give Salford the points and deny Maynard his first home win since becoming Counties coach. After a brilliant start it looks like an also ran season for the Magpies an

Nut Yard - Bobbers Mill & Whitemoor
Marrowman replied to DJ360's topic in General Chat about Nottingham
The Whitemoor pub has always been very pleasant, even when it changed its name briefly to the Snooty Fox. Everyone ignored that aberration and continued to call it the Whitemoor. Thinking back to Bobbers Mill I seem to remember that there was a footpath from Bobbers Mill which went by Linley and Linley and then by the side of the river Leen, past some pigeon lofts (back when pigeon racing was a big deal!) and finally emerging on Gauntly Street, Hyson Green. I wonder if the path is still there? Incidentallly when we were kids we used to call Linley and Linley the Big Kettle because there w -
I’ve not been in to Sutton in Ashfield since the ‘60’s. My accountancy firm had a large building client there (J.Searson - no longer in business, they built many of the comprensive schools in Notts and a chunk of East Midlands Airport). I used to lunch in an excellent cafe, the Farmhouse Kitchen on Outram St. It was run by the Whetton’s, the same family as the famous runner. I’ve not been in to Mansfield either since Maplin Electronics closed (a great loss). I must suss out the shop on Brook St. although I’m not know for my elegant dress sense these days!

I can only speak for myself Oz. I'm pretty uninterested in 'The Royals', though not an active Republican, in the sense of wanting them all removed etc. The problem around Kate as I see it, is that there is intense speculation around her health, which in my view is her own business... and as they say 'nature abhors a vacuum', so that in the absence of any real facts, the rumour mill goes wild and seizes on the photo. Quite why she published it is my only question.

The only person I knew who was from Bobbers Mill was a guy called Lindsey Nix. My brother also was in a flat there for a while.

I buy my shirts, always checked, from Edinburgh Woollen Mill, online. Anything else I drive to Downtown (Boundary Mills) near Grantham. No parking problems and only about half an hour’s drive from home. I tend to be given sweaters at Christmas and have heaps of them. My shoes are always the same style so I buy them online from Padders when my current ones have worn out. I stopped being trendy 60 years ago! I did like Randall’s shop in Newark though.

Nut Yard - Bobbers Mill & Whitemoor
Jill Sparrow replied to DJ360's topic in General Chat about Nottingham
Welcome, @Michace29 I, too, grew up in the Bobbers Mill area. Are your Farrands related to the Farrands who ran a chain of grocery shops? If so, @benjamin1945will be very interested. The Whitemoor pub was, I believe, built as a public house and Whitemoor House was something separate. I think this topic has been mentioned elsewhere on the site but possibly under a different thread. Our whizz of a moderator @Cliff Ton will be able to help there. Pleased to hear you've caught the family history bug. Many of us on here are addicts. -
County - Crumble to another defeat 0-2 at Meadow Lane. An unfortunate own goal by Cornell Rawlinson in the 80th minute after coming on as a substitute in the 60th minute. AFC Wimbledon put the game beyond doubt 5 minutes from the end with a goal from K. Balmer. Since Williams left County's performances have been erratic at best and from being genuine contenders at the start of the season are now also rans in 15th place. AFC Wimbledon collected 5 yellow cards throughout the game. Away at Crawley Town on Tuesday evening. I am not sure how long Maynard will survive. Stags of to a flyi

A bus trip into Lincoln yesterday for my annual eye test, a one mile walk to the next village to catch the 09.00 bus arriving in Lincoln at 09.55, steady walk to "Vision Express" for said eye test that was booked for 10.20, all went well and I do need some new glasses, called in at "Snappy Snaps" to get a VHS tape transferred to DVD (Steam in shed volumes 1 and 2 plus "How a steam loco is made") twenty quid which I thought was reasonable, so two good things today unfortunately Lincoln it's self was unwelcoming and cold, a lot of folk wondering around with their heads buried in their mobile pho

Stags - After taking the lead in the 15th minute Stags now give Wrexham a chance to draw level on points by going down 1-2 at Field Mill against 5th placed Milton Keynes Dons (doesn't sound like a proper football team does it?). Is this a re-emergence of the wobbles? We will see when they play mid table Swindon on Saturday at home.

Couunty - A solid win for the Magpies away in south Wales. That man Macaulay Langstaff scored the first for County with David McGoldrick netting the second 13 minutes later to go in 2-0 up at half time. That man got his brace in the 59th minute. Newport via a penalty scored somewhat of a consolation goal in the last minute of normal time. Unusually there were no yellow cards issued during the game. The 1-3 win takes County back into a play-off space on goal difference just above Harrogate Town who were hammered by the Stags. Away at 4th placed Hollywood United (Wrexham) on Saturday
