Ian, when I was a Park ranger back in 1977, we used to nip to the bakery on Hucknall Road, to collect stale bread and cakes etc for our wild fowl, ducks geese etc. Used to get about 3 flour sacks of stuff and among it would be fruit cake and sponges, some of it only a couple of days out of date. It was quite common for folks to sort through the sacks and say, 'I'm having that one or that one"! Then take the odd cake slab for their tea... The birds never knew. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,180 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Dint do it at Skeggy Mary, but did at Mablethorpe and sat on the concrete steps and usually sat within viewing distance of the proprietor. Dint want to risk losing the deposit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 532 Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Always used to go to the east coast for holidays, can remember passing a caravan site called the Poplar Zareba, seemed a very exotic name at the time. Used to rent a bungalow on Wall Lane in Ingoldmells which had a field at the back where the beach donkeys were kept and then at the back of that Butlins. Can remember hearing Heinz belting out “Just like Eddie” he was clearly my hero at a very early age! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,086 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 When we went on holiday it was mostley Whinthorp at Skeg now and again we would have a change and go to the seaslde town which had only a long road, which went up to the pullover to the beach, this town is better know as Mablethorpe, in fact we were there that year when they had floods, we came home just one week before it was flooded. In 1999 we packed our bags and went to live at the coast, while out house hunting there was a beautiful large house for sale in Mablethorpe, while viewing it the wallpaper had been removed, and what was on the wall a tide mark of were the water level had come up to during the floods. We did not buy this house, we ende up at Andeby, not Anderby Creek but Anderby Village. (but thats another story) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Engineer 614 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not seen or used for decades: repairing car bodywork with fibreglass. Maybe cars just don't rust the way they used to since zinc treatment of the body shells became commonplace. I remember buying kits in the 1970s/1980s from the likes of Motorists Discount Centres, containing resin and hardener together with pieces of fine and coarse fibreglass matting. Think it was David's Isopon P40 (a quick Google shows the resin is still available). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,479 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think I've seen that being used on earlier episodes of 'Wheeler Dealers', although they're obviously working on older cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,423 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Before fibreglass, cars were repaired with lead smoothed over a metal mesh. Not done it since the days of rust before your eyes Vauxhalls or silver paint peeling Fords... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,326 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 5 hours ago, Brew said: silver paint peeling Fords. Not just Fords, here in OZ many cars including expensive ones suffer from peeling clear coat paint. It became more noticeable with certain silver and blue GM Holdens and other makes particularly of a certain era. Maybe the water based clear coat broke down under our harsh UV light.

mary1947 2,086 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Sorry boy's this post for girls only ? why well I don't think any of you chaps would have brought these. Girls can you remember the book's that we used to get, when you had to cut out the girl/boy model and then cut out the cloths and they had carboard tabs on and which some time's you ended up cutting of. I think the price of the books was about 10d or 1/- 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
