I've got Mace and Spar floating around but again, not sure. If it bugs me too much I'll be down the Archives looking at old phone directories. EDIT: N & J Pitt are a taximeter service company in Basford (taxitronic.co.uk) Same people from beech Avenue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You’ve certainly got a great memory Ian! Yes we had a works bowling league on Fridays. Only had a one hour lunch break but managed to get down the Bowling Alley, have a game, chip butty and back at work on Beech Avenue within the hour. And guess who was top of the league ........
