I would agree that too general chatting does tend to bury the interesting posts. NS, it's about Nottingham, interesting people, bygones and history and places, not irrelevant chit chat.
What i have put on here i feel is relevant , i have contributed stories of nottingham related , but maybe you lot are set in your ways , i am finding the site very stale , and unfriendly to newcomers, i am a carrington lad , so i qualify to be here to shake up the forum abit !

Thanks for the feedback guys, i originally came on the site because i was interested in st anns child hood days of the 60,s
But i don't see the point of this site if new members are put off from contributing to the discussion, when people moan about burying topic , pointless

Anyone heard the expression serri ? Cerri ? As in yo alrete serri ?
Always recall having to stay in the stable lads hostel in Nottingham racecourse , we'd travel there with 4 horses running over the two day meeting , as we settled in for the night the hostel porter asked one of the lads ,yo want another pillow me duck ?
The lad turned round to me and whispered is he gay or summat ?
I had to explain to him , no its only an endearment term around these parts !

Reminds me of 'Cross-Chockled', which as far as I can determine..has similar meaning, but derives from St Helens.
Always remember hearing the word Nesh and didnt understand, i was about 4yrs old standing at the bus stop with my sister and i was crying because it was the middle of january and very frosty , my sister said to me , shut up you mardy baby you're nesh you are !!!!

@MargieH but if we all only just read comments would the forum get stale without contributing?

Left school at 15,my form master Mr Spungin said I was useless and would never make anything of my life. Got a job at a firm opposite the old Labour Exchange making roller blinds mostly for garage doors, ended up making tea and running errands most of the time. After 3 months of that I joined the army as a band -boy, took ACE ( Army Certificate Of Education ) in general studies
Became a fairly good cornet player, posted to Berlin in 1961 Spandau Barracks. Met a swedish girl while in Berlin and married her. Reposted back to the UK to a newly built Roman Barracks in Colchester which Dr Profumo officially opened. Bought myself out of the army moved to Sweden stayed there 27 years, worked in a dairy for several years, then into engineering, lathing, milling etc, coach driving, waiter, judo instructor, and learning Swedish at the same time.
Came back to the UK 1991 worked as a coach driver, retired 2008. Done loads of other things, I could tell more, but then it would get complicated.
My dad was in colchester barracks , and berlin, he was in the Devonshire regiment for 16 yr corporal sheridan

My great grandparents and their eight children lived at 22 Knotted Alley throughout the 1920's. They didn't have to move far when demolition began - their subsequent address was Beckford Road (off Colwick Road) in Sneinton.
Yes mark my Dad lived in narrow marsh as a kid , they got moved to sneinton , cardale or linton rise .

@MargieH thank you, no I've never sat on a horse since leaving the horse racing industry, i had an assortment of jobs all no skilled because i went straight into horseracing and had no A levels or other Diplomas , but i ended up in the N.H.S as a hospital porter did that for 13yrs until i retired , and it's where i met my filipina wife too, and she also led me to christ through church, i am truly blessed !

We had a few problems with staff over the years when we had our shop . A couple of times it was customers that informed us when staff were fiddling the till .
One fairly mature lady who was overly friendly with us , always asking how our kids were etc. was seen by a customer not ringing in goods and putting a tenner in her pocket . She was also related to about half the town , having 8 kids herself , so God knows what went on when we weren't there.
Fortunately this was when the retirement age for staff was in place , so we told her we couldn't get insurance for her anymore and let her go .
When my son ran a shop for us in London one of the staff ran up a huge telephone bill phoning gay chat lines !
Gay always on the ring !

Bringing this topic back to life ! ! !
I left nottingham after leaving alderman.w.derbyshire school in bulwell as an easter leaving , start a career as a stable groom in the horseracing industry, i fact my parents didnt even know i got the job , one day i bought the horse and hound .agazine , and wrote off to a equine employment agency , got 3 replies from potential employers, and land a job in Empshott Hampshire ,
After riding racehorses for 7 month i got homesick and told the boss i wanna go home to nottingham,
But when i got back things change ,i had a couple of jobs one on hucknall lane maket pallets at Marshalls , then in an hosiery factory on greasley Street bulwell, but miss the horses so terribly i ask my boss in Hampshire can i comeback ?
Went back and stayed for 5 yrs ,
Then moved around do the same job looking after racehorses in wantage oxon, weyhill Hampshire, melton mowbray, Carburton, and lasltly Asforby leicester.
Finally after leaving the horseracing industry i had various jobs in the isle of wight, then Portsmouth before moving to london where i met my filipina wife and married in 2017, retired from the N.H.S in 2019, sold our house and went to live in the Philippines.
