@jimmmmmbo Fascinating that the lost histories of the east midlands are now lost!
Thanks Jim. Wasn't able to put down the book once I had started which led to a 3am finish. Amazing stories.
@AskMyNottingham The Bulky Collections site says that only 1-man teams are in operation and so anything requiring 2 people to lift is not being accepted yet I see 2-man crews on the road since July 19. Is the site out og date?
@susansings Hi! A long shot but any chance that you have a copy of Hoist the Flag by your great-grandmother? Have already reached out to conductor of the Army No 1 band who played the piece last April but to no avail. Just a photo of the music would be perfect! Thanks...
@zoelyons@BBCRadio4 Zoe. Loved the interview with your dad.I could listen to him all day. Plastic Paddy is fabulous though I may biased as I'm from Ballypatrick but living in the UK!
