TBI 2,351 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 'There's a few bob there for someone.' I reckon you may be right, Michael. It looks like it's near Belvoir Castle, I'll pop down tomorrow and see if it's still there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTramp 139 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 TBI @2761 if you can drag that roller out of the grass verge you've earned it! Robbie has really bothered me with this picture, where is it? the fences are nice, the fence on the right is a deer-proof one around a cedar plantation, the road seems new, clay topped, no tarmac, the water in the distance seems to say "reservoir" and I always think I know Leicestershire just by looking at the land. Not Belvoir in the distance but a farmhouse been there a few years and owned by a bloke with a bob or two. C'mon Robbie have you got any more picture clues? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Tramp, still reckon it's Belvoir, looking from Woolsthorpe. The water either side are the upper and lower lakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 # 2714 ......... That's just how my husband came upon the Road Roller he had and brought back to life. He found it in the corner of a field in Bedfordshire, almost completely hidden by overgrown hedges. It was a case of finders keepers. He and our boys got a lot of enjoyment bringing it back to its former glory and then sold it to an enthusiast when we moved up to Nottingham 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlebro 234 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Cliff Ton, National Savings stamps finished in 1976, the one depicted is from 1960. They retain their face value and can still be cashed in. However, like Premium Bonds they do not attract interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 #2726 I still have the premium bonds with face value £1 and £2 that my grandfather and his sister bought for me when they first came out. Now we get the electronic statement my husband said I should shred them. I said no as they are a bit of social history and they were gifts from those I no longer see. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 My husband has £4 worth of Premium Bonds, bought in the 60s. He won £50 soon after we were married in mid 70s, that was around a week's wages in those day. Nothing since, understandably I suppose. I topped my holding up to the maximum of £40,000 3 months ago and since then I've had £75 in March, £75 in April and £25 this month. Half of those winning bonds are the new ones. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 The return on Premium Bonds as an ' investment ' is pathetic, the chances of winning more than £100 as remote as the lottery. They make little economic sense. I frequently tell this my missus who has a very large holding. She gets a £25 here and there but refuses to get rid, because ' one day that million's coming.' ..... Ooh look, a flying pig! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 That's just my luck Lizzie. It's only money and I'd only squander it !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
