  2. Born and raised in Nottingham but exiled during the 80s out east due to family move. Still have loads of family back home, but have found out more about my home city from the Nottingham Facebook page, cos lets face it, who cares about history when you're busy being a teenager? Looking forward to finding out loads more about my home town and maybe coming across a few old faces in the process.

  6. My older brother was a Teddy boy ! he had the dark swarthy good looks, (I took after me dad) I went through my teen years with him and his mates hanging round the house and motorbikes, which I loved really. One of them was a real nice bloke and had a beut Velocette, with fishtail exhaust, all black and chrome. And he took me on the pillion if I asked him. Some how though I tended to be a mod and maybe it was my school mates as we all tended to become Scooter boys in our parka's. Never had any problems with the "Greasers" as we called em, probably because big bro was quite a well known char

  7. Without in any way insulting the Italians, I think it's true that few of them had much philosophical commitment to fighting for Mussolini (after all remember how he finished up) and even less for Hitler. So I guess while being POWs wasn't exactly what they wanted, escaping to re-enlist was even lower down their agenda. By and large they seem to have been well-liked. My cousin was born in July 1944 and was sometimes admired when out in his pram by Italians who hadn't seen their own bambini for some time.
