Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 #26 You're spoiling me now Cliff!! I wonder if a pot of emulsion covered that up?? Incidentally, my Mother ,when the air raid sirens sounded..used to dash from between those railings..with her school mates..up to the cellars of the H and H pub..near Hooleys a deuce and a half killed a child..my mam said the American driver was crying.

Guest Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Trying to think,opposite Kiddies Korner was Tess,s cafe? It had those round stools..was it a temporary one like on Maid Marion Way? Also the gable end of St. Marys can be seen,top open windows is Miss Bowlers classroom, ground floor is Miss Reilly.. what a cruel school this was!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ginger geoff 2 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi I worked at B&P straight from school 1966 to 1969 up in the office as stock records clerk. I remember Chris on the switchboard, Ray the pay Doreen his secretary. Anyone remember the wages robbery, cash taken from Rays office whilst he was at lunch. I remember Dave Padgett in the office and his girlfriend Rosie. Also Ralph Baker buying his son a Minicooper for his 21at only for him to right it off on the first time out. I played for the football team on Thursday first game against Coop Butchers (real team) and played against Forest Colts who included Duncan Mackenzie, Graham Collier in their team. Happy days eh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Welcome Geoff, look forward to reading your posts and memories. The one thing that stood out to me was, the mention of Duncan McKenzie. Now I have to explain, what I know about football, you could write on a stamp with a felt tip pen. But, as I remember, couldn't Duncan do a standing jump, sideways over a mini?. Just curious! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,782 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 My sister Wendy worked in the offices at B&P. Same time as you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi Geoff , Looks like we were there at the same time as per my original post . I knocked about with Dave Padgett for a while out of work and we went out as a foursome me with Rosie's mate. Dave had a grey mini and his mum and dad had a shop in Basford. I don't recall you though Geoff so we might have just missed working together. I also played football for them in The Thursday League . What is your surname Geoff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
