I've just logged in and spotted all your kind and funny posts. Fair made me smile you did. Catfan, we have a holiday booked at our beloved Skeggy for two weeks in September, it has been moved three times, twice due to Covid and last time due to my hospital visit, fingers crossed! Trogg, That picture certainly looks like an 'Elephants foot' to me? Hope to see you all when things settle down.x

I agree Jill. Who gave the wokelings the right to re-write and sanitise history to their view of the world. History is history, including all the nasty bits and as much as they object it cannot be re-written. It seems me that every advert/program on free to air television these day has to have a person of colour, ethnic origin and indeterminate sexuality out of all proportion to the populous. Woebetide any advert/program that attempts to offer a real view of the world, the keyboard warriors will vent their spleens and have it made more woke. Come the revolution,put me down to drive the tu

With, 'every advert/program on free to air television these day has to have a person of colour, ethnic origin and indeterminate sexuality out of all proportion to the populous', it springs to mind the phrase, 'a chip on their shoulder'. The thing that irritates me is these sodding woke's and do-gooders always seem to wheedle their way into the media streams. More often that not with the lip-spittling, hand-wringing and grovelling BBC. Watching TV these day's I often think which nation I'm actually living in.

Even after all these years, it still amazes me that Nottstalgia can come up with a surprise like that.

It’s not a question of prejudice in TV advertising. It’s just that the multi race families they show on many of the adverts are not representative of their presence in society at large. We don’t see many Asian or Chinese mixed families. Other lives matter as well.

Was looking for old photos with my mamar from her school days, was shocked to see my mama the first one on second row on the left, christine wright.

This photo was in an edition of the Nottingham Guardian Journal of 7th Nov 1964 , of girls from Padstow School which may be of use to someone , someday . Though my wife went to this school she would have been slightly younger than these girls and can't help with any names unfortunately .

My old Minor 1000 had 4/60 air conditioning It was 4 windows open and 60mph just.

Beekay you are like me ,all these big words but we have both learnt enough words to be able to get through life, what more do we want or need.

Well you must be fit BK because you are still Surviving!

I see Tom O'Connor has died. A maths teacher who became a comedian. He seemed a pleasant type of chap. I was taught maths by a comedian, too! Not too many laughs there.

It's a lot more interesting than politics, Beekay. You ask @colly0410

What the bloody hell on God's own Earth is Quantum physics?? Have I just stepped into the Twilight Zone. That's what happens with a limited vocabulary and even more limited education.

Direct your grey matter towards more worthy and rewarding subjects, Beekay. Quantum physics, for instance. Schrodinger placed two politicians in a box and closed the lid. Unless we take a look, how do we know they're still there? Who cares?

I think in my first Mini a heater was an optional extra for about £10 and automatic transmission in a car had barely been heard of. With modern auto transmissions you can’t even roll back on hill starts.

Beekay, snowflakes are things that melt away when the heat is turned up!

Early morning view from room 18 of the Savoy Hotel “It’s so blazing”

I any case those fashion & homemade masks are a complete waste of time, I’m sure those that want further lockdowns never went out in the first place, those that want to stay in watching telly with their masks on do so, lifes for living & far to short, you’ll be dead soon, try & enjoy it.

I’ll be in Epton’s later @catfan when me kids arrive for the day, dinner on Dad. Skeggy cooking, but the views a bit rubbish

Same here Mary/Jill..........both hands very painful especially in the base of the 'Thumb'.......can't shake hands to painful.....keep putting off contacting Doctor.....if you can get in that is........... Great stuff this getting older ain't it............

Last day here in Great Yarmouth of our holiday. Weather has been very good & we are returning in 3 weeks time. No Eptons here but a few gud UNs .

Had a phone call yesterday from one of the doctors PA at QMC I have been diagnosed with "Carpal Tunnel" in both hands. The PA said that they have had cancellation so would I like to come in for my opp on the said date. Now don't get me wrong I am pleased to have opp (CP is quite common) but I am not looking forward to going in QMC. I have got to get there for 7 00 am and living where we do will just take about half an hour, but at that time in a morning master and my-self are half asleep. A big thanks to my daughter-in-law Nina, she has a week off and she has offerd to take me and fet

Phil, we've had a lovely sea breeze blowing over the South Downs and caressing us while we sat outside today, surveying our domain. A cloudless sky all day, we only came in because we were getting a numb bum, sitting on our bench. It's a hard life but somebody's got to do it.

Still thinking of you Carni. When I saw this in the local paper I thought O no poor Carni what will she do , then I remembered you live else where, so you will be OK. Get well soon duck see you at the next meetup.

Many times I agree with you CF, you talk a lot of sense, but on this occasion I think you're wrong. A simple google search brings up many BBC reports about the scandal of Asians grooming young girls and there was at the time strong criticism of the term 'Asian gangs'. Sajid Javid (the then Home Secretary) said it was wrong to ignore their ethnicity and defended the use of the phrase used by the BBC. Immigrants crossing the channel has as many pages of results and there are even Youtube videos on the subject from the BBC. I have no knowledge of a homosexual i

Thanks CF, was beginning to think I was the only one thinking this way.

I'm glad somebody understands it all. Me, I ain't got a clue. Brew and DJ leave me miles behind. I just do not understand this "leaning to the left or leaning to the right". I wouldn't know a 'lefties if I fell over one in vaccination queue. Think I'll continue to read Brew and DJ, then get somebody to decipher for me. As you can tell, I know bugger all about politics.

Thankyou nonnaB, we have had a few months of ill health, with Covid and recovery time, then the dreaded Pancreatitis, which knocked me for six, still awaiting for hospital to send appointment for my follow up with consultant, 6/8 weeks, we are now on week 11/12. can't be long now. ?

It wasn't rough during my four years there, 1958-1962, although discipline was pretty strict. The Headmaster while I was there was Mr Jewitt, hope I spelled his name right. Mr Joe Spungin was one of my teachers, a gentleman well known to several of the members on here and who's Son went on to better things. Woodwork was carried out an an annex next to Shelton Street School under a Mr Searle, an extremely nice and talented woodworker. He had great patience and imparted his cabinet making skills to all of us.
