Well Done Steven, You Have Your Crown

Hope this is in the right forum. Does anyone know anything about a plane crashing in or near Woodborough in WWII? Any gossip passed down from mums, dads, granmas or granddads? There appears to be some anecdotal evidence, but can't find anything official. Ta.

Ey up - look 'ere - ah've got one o' these red crown thingys - an' av bin re-labelled a gigger (but ah don't gu ter gigs). Elevated to the peerage I am. Nah then, one o' you 'oove bin 'ere a long time - can yer tell me, when do ah get me first cheque from the civil list?

Lack of manners - people who sit on their phones for the duration of their visit to your house or the duration of going out with friends/family - makes me feel like throwing the damn thing through a window. People who can't say please and thank you. I had someone moan at my house because of the lack of food on offer and they where hungry - cheek of it! Women who wear leggings as trousers - cover your back ends up, especially if they insist on the cheaper ones that show off their underwear. Call centres. I had to ring a 0845 no today, after 15 mins on hold I got through to someone who couldn

Hope they leave it well alone! I grew up throwing a 2p in and making a wish usually at christmas time, it's a great meeting spot for people, its lovely to sit by with a sarnie for lunch (which I used to do most days when working on the market)

All god fun though

Well at least it's one thing my lass doesn't have to worry about, her hand writing is impeccable and she keeps getting the "Star Writer of the Week" award.

It's Greeeeeeeeeeaat to go down Nottingham's 'Goose Fair' and at my age, it doesn't cost a penny - well, p'raps a few............ I've my Bus Pass to catch the tram to the Forest and the Fair will be there waiting for me: I'll take a good walk around enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of this splendid tradition. I'll maybe spend a bit if I'm tempted by the aroma of hot peas - last years were delicious I recall, real tasty and good value for money at £2 a huge pot - no waste. Last years lay out of the Fair was fantastic: fusing the old with the new - let's hope they stick to this.....

An interesting thought - Does living on a budget keep you healthier? Just heard that a couple I used to know have both been in hospital recently with heart attacks. They were always either eating out or having take-aways delivered. When I think of their diets of saturated fats, high salt and sugar loaded desserts I shouldn't be surprised. I personally prepare at least 90% of my own food from raw ingredients, and in doing so I know exactly what goes into it. Monday I played golf with a girl half my age, and in chatting discovered she is on the same heart medication that I have just started on

They call them Brussels Sprouts out here Rog
