I bought a second hand ladies fur jacket off Sneinton Market around the mid 60's in my hippie days. Cheesecloth shirt and purple flared cords with Paisley inserts. No wonder dad cringed when I went out.5 points

Sorry, I suppose this could go under "Pet Hates" bit I think it might have a lot of mileage in it! I hate it when supermarkets "hide" a full priced article in with loads of offers! I was in a suprmarket the other day with the grandkids buying chocolate - what else are grandparents for. They had a "Buy 3 for £1.20" deal, so, mouth watering, I thought "Ooh, one for me!" We chose our Galaxy bar, and Whisper and I had a Mars bar. Got to the checkout - no offer. Went back to the shelf which was full of these "3 for £1.20" bars - except for the Mars bar, right in the middle, which was part of a se2 points

I always thought posher areas would be more targeted with burglaries because people know it's a nice area and people living there are likely to have more valuables..2 points

Not a knock on the area at all Michael but unfortunately I think many who live in the area would cite the various problems that Bilborough has these days. It's not just a couple of people and it's not just Bilborough. Yes, 'posh' areas as you term them have crime and violence too - off course they do - markedly less of it though.2 points

I'm with Banjo, Somewhere on the western side of the Trent like Bleasby, Fiskerton, Morton, Averham. Would obviously have to be cautious of any flood prone areas. Alternatively some of the beautiful villages further away from the river Gonalston, Thurgaton through to Southwell2 points

Chulla , how dare you compare me with an Aeroplane !!!!!!!! only joking because your wife may not speak to me again if I shout at you. But Brenda may sound italian to you because you've known me for so long. There is a name in italian which is similar Wanda ( Vanda) Many english names are popular here but the emphasis on certain letters change the name completely. Nicola is a masculine name pronounced NicOla emphasis on O. AlicE emphasis on E (female). Ida (Eeda) A lot of masculine names translated are very old names but quite popular here.

Just watching the newspaper review on BBC news channel. The Telegraph has a headline about proposals to ban confusing offers in supermarkets. Perhaps their reporter reads Nottstalgia!2 points

Here's the Black Boy before it became the building we recognise. Seems to have been a bit of a nondescript place until Mr Fothergill got his hands on it; this is the building which he modified to his own style.2 points

Strange to think that just 50 years before that photo of Cliff tons, that section of road was more or less a bog flooding in bad weather...And even stranger if you stand there today that below your feet is stone from the Fosse originally quarried by Roman engineers nearly 2000 years ago. http://www.nottshistory.org.uk/articles/tts/tts1931/itinerary1931p3.htm1 point

£1 for half litre of beer in a supermarket and 45p for a litre of tonic. A pub's got to have a lot of ambience and interesting customers to make it worthwhile to turn out - and then you've got to walk there on a cold winter's evening.1 point

Starting on the left I think the church spire is All Saints in the Arboretum; next right is the Castle; the building with the red top is the Britannia Hotel on Maid Marian Way; next to the tower crane is the University Newton Building; further right is the Council House dome; then the blocks of Vic Centre flats.1 point

Mick, Bubblewrap. If you missed the one you'll never get another one Bee-dee Bee-dee Bom-bom to San Fernando - Johhny Duncan Don't suppose The Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees would be any good either or The Last Train to Dobcross - Oldham Tinkers This site often sends me off on tangents. I've just spent an hour on YouTube listening to "Last Train" songs found 20 without too much effort.1 point

I wonder if you are in the 'IP Board' skin that I usually use. Try scrolling right down to the bottom left and you'll see 'Change Theme' there. Click on it and a drop down menu will give you options. Try clicking on 'Old School'. Let us know, Col.1 point
