Measuring O-Rings

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Mine was like that once  :'( :'(

Bought it for a fiver at Palins of Derby.

Ruddy hell Ken Palins has been gone over 30 years plus - the old showroom has been used as a Thai Restaurant amongst several changes of use since then. Currently boarded up old brickwork now rendered.

Jesus James, way to make me feel old. I was speaking to another member recently who reckoned that Roo was 76, that made me laugh, he's 80 if he's a day.

Having met Roo I now realise that we have two ages - our biological age - and our appearance - the twain do not always meet.

I have an inkling that Palins were shut by the early 1980's - shame I can't find any old photos of that area, photos of old Derby seem to end at the Spot.
TBH the Town Centre at that  period was based nearer The Cornmarket so Osmaston Road  was almost "Out of Town".
When they built part of the inner ring road all the old houses on Bradshaw Street / Borne Street  were demolished -  now named Bradshaw Way

Thanks Ted..................I think

I'm guessing you will have lost a decade since you had your teeth sorted - pain puts years on us all.

Roo can remember the 1880s but not the 1980s Ted.

You've met Roo Ted, is he a spritely 80 year old or a really knackered 70 year old would you say.
