Geoffrey Dennis 124 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Great Posts. Now struggling with my memory, I cannot recall one breakfast that I sat staring at my jar of Robertsons Marmalade having racist thoughts.No! my only intention was getting the lid off and spreading some of that golden goodness on my toast. Like every body else in the country no doubt. Pray God it isn`t too late for common sense to prevail. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidA 153 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 My band consists of a clarinetist, a guitarist, and a drummer. The others seem to have run off to New Orleans. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoffrey Dennis 124 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I know W that ship has not only sailed but has dropped over the horizon but surely people of good intent with a generous helping of common sense will always make a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,292 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not The Post website but the Chad, some memories of the pubs in Mansfield and Sutton that have long gone. I bet Ian and a few others on here have had a pint or two in some of these, I know I have. https://www.chad.co.uk/lifestyle/nostalgia/mansfield-pubs-we-ve-loved-and-lost-take-a-walk-down-memory-lane-with-these-pictures-1-9609480?page=1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Ian, The Bridge Tavern, The River Maun ran in a culvert under and to the side of the pub and often flooded before they did major drainage works.
