It's like one of those family reunited programmes on telly, great result. Seems to me Ben that you've inherited your innate sense of style from Grandad Jackson, but I doubt that he would have been an afficianado of the liberty bodice! Welcome to the Forum John.

Sorry for the short notice but if anyone is interested and local I will be giving a talk at Basford Library 10.30am in the morning (10th October) about the letters my Grandfather wrote home from the Western front during WW1.

Alone again.................No chance benj. I bet you wooed Donna with your Liberty bodice and love hearts aye. Alone again Nah.

Think thats the one Jill..............nowadays its where the traffic lights are......straight on for football ground and Bus station and i think on the right a Leisure centre................fancy that eh..........you and me may be related.........my cousin Carol always stood in as sub when i was between marriages,you know company dinner dances.....Cricket functions and the like........same age as me but very well preserved........quite funny really.....people thought ''ey-up dint take him long''........lol.............we'd hold hands and giggle like a courting couple..........lovely gel still

It'll cost ya another packet of love hearts!

Presumably, radios in schools in the 50s and 60s were also Rediffusion in supply. I recall just a large square of plywood with a circle of mesh fabric in the centre hanging on the wall and a switch nearby. We occasionally listened to Schools' radio or had Music and Movement in the hall....now run and find a space, everyone and then curl up in a tiny ball on the floor.

If they are, Jodi, that means Ben and I could be distantly related! Now there's a thought!

When the rag and bone man came around i used to run in and say ;Mam have you any old rags; she would always reply ;yea tek me; for a few rags i might have got a windmill or a cup or plate and for woolens a couple of pennies

Enjoyed reading this! By any remote chance, are any of these Jacksons related to any who lived in Radford, Mansfield or Apsley ( all before 1940)?

Jill's picture of the Bakelite Rediffusion cabinet brought back many fond memories of tea-times spent at my grandmother's house on High Street, Arnold. During winter months there would be a fire in the range grate and hot toast cooked on a toasting fork over that fire, whilst Dick Barton was chasing his ars* around the place trying to catch the baddies.

To make things clear ....... initially, this topic was spread over several threads, but I've now merged everything into this thread.

That's called liquorice cream rock.....

All the little birds seem to twitter Louise. Each little rose seems to know that.....................I luuuuuurve you. Lol Phew, Nearly missed it benj. Welcome to Nottstalgia John, have fun with the gang. Join in the sing song if you like.Lol

Thanks B W. I should have known that. I used to make wine years ago.

My office can be freezing in winter so we have what we call a communal 'mardy cardi' ! First one to put it on is a wimp!

When we had the motel, every now and again a couple would come in dressed identically. Usually older couples did this. I reckon it was in case one of them wandered off and the other could describe them easily! I said to hubby, just shoot me if I suggest we start dressing alike.

Only on Nottstalgia...........

This is the radio we had in the early 60s (Rediffusion). I remember an earlier one which was much more ornate. TV came later but we all loved the radio and it was on for most of the day. Listen With Mother, Music While You Work, Woman's Hour...happy memories!
