Those wonderful luxury Apartments overlooking the Trent are indeed going to improve the area and progress does go on, I wish I could have one.
I could sit on my balcony every day and look down at the Trent and imagine all of us children in the 50s all playing in that same spot, with our buckets and spades, digging in the specially transported beach sand, paddling and squelching in the muddy leechy water in the cordoned off area, or better still risk leeches and broken glass in the paddling pool.(No Elf and Safety in those days)We are still here though? Here I go again on one of the places that meant so much to me and many others all those years ago. The Pleasure Park.
I am sure the people living in the Apartments will enjoy the views they have and I would love to think that some of them may be the children from the 40/50s who enjoyed our very memorable but sometimes a bit dangerous days out at the end of Trent Lane. We could do with some kind of permanent reminder on a wall so that it isn't gone and forgotten forever.

She speaks little English and most of that is swear words.
Jonab, I rather like the sounds of Rosie.
I never lost my accent after leaving Nottm in 1966, but I have had so many little Nottm sayings bought back to mind since joining NS. I only moved 70miles, but local sayings differ so much.
Stavertongirl, You learn something new most weeks from our members. Hang on in there Gel you'll soon be hooked like the rest of us.

the look in her eyes of Jody Comer when she is just about to kill someone makes her look like she really is enjoying killing,
You should never tell a psychopath they are a psychopath.................it upsets them. A line from killing eve spoken by Jody Comer, with a pet lip and bleary eyes. Oooer. My goodness to think that these people are really out there is so frightening. Not an ounce of compassion. Some brilliant acting. I hope the end isn't to weak. I have watched some brilliant programmes only to be spoilt by an ending that looks as if the writers just didn't know how to end it.

I used to really enjoy a boiled egg, cooked just before the yolk set, very dippable wi mi soegers Then i got poorleh and had a stroke. No, not the cuddley kind of stroke, the other kind. I don't know if it changed the way the mind works but it was over two years before I could even look at an egg. I slowly started to get them back into my diet, but even after thirteen years I still can only eat them with a very set yolk. No point in a boiled egg anymore.
Beautiful sunshine outside today, in West Mids.

You mention Raywarp - did they make hairnets?
Yes it was Raywarp. Bath Caps,etc. Alice Bands. I earned fantastic money on those Alice Bands. Some weeks I earned a whopping £20.

Had many happy memories from working in that building. Raywarp being the firm I worked for around 1964/5. It took me a while to recognise it as the name didn't mean anything to me! Looking past the building, I could see the pointed roof of the church hall further down on the same side, more or less opposite Vicarage St (No longer there), so I got my bearings from there. I love that old building, in my time it would have been full of the buzz of sewing machines and Gels singing and laughing.Happy Nottingham days.
Have I earned my cake yet?

I am just a letter C these days because I have forgotten how to put a picture on as well?

I’ve heard it’s been snowing in Mansfield this morning! They can keep it.
It's been sleeting here in Wolvo this morning. Must bring my boots and winter coat to the front of the wardrobe. I bet the sunshine will be back tomorrow if I do.

The 'thrill of the hunt' is spot on AG. Yours is a fabulous find and I would be thrilled to bits to discover something like that. As we cycle around the streets occasionally a coin would be spotted, but we would just cycle past, unless it was worth stopping for. A couple of years ago we decided to start picking it up. It is unbelievable how often we stop to pick up a coin. This image does not show our hoard as impressive as it looks in reality. There is all value of coins, new and old. Only one coin pre decimal. It doesn't amount to a lot but eventually the ones that can be salvaged will go into a charity box,but at the moment we can't part with it. PS. Yes we wash our hand, always have a bottle of sanitiser with us.

Just under the bridge on the right is Florence Rd. I had an aunt who lived down there. Just a little snippet from my memory box. Every sun/mon dad would take us to see her . We were on a mission. Her pet name was 'Auntie Drippin' and as they didn't eat any fats, she would save all the drippin' from her sunday roast for her favourite brother 'My dad'. Sorry to say, having six kids, he didn't get much of a look in!
On the very cold Boxing Day in 1966, my intended husband/ best man and friends all who had travelled from W-ton for our 11am wedding at Gedling Church, went to change into their wedding gear at aunties on Florence Rd.
Drippin' not on the menu that day.

KJ, There's more to this gel than you think. It will take a lot more than a few surgeons and anaesthetists to sneak my sweet tooth out when I'm not looking. Try as they may.
