Wonder if it was a "freebie" ?

As hippo girl stated Cleethorpes is really dire, dirty & disgusting. Skeggy, I can take it or leave it, usually leave it ! My all time favourite is Hunstanton. I have to say this is the cleanest resort I have ever known, plenty of free on street parking as well ! There is a superb fish & chip shop there too, (Fisher's of Hunstanton).

Thanks Pixie. Really was a fantastic day out. Took some smashing photo's too. May "Up" a few.

Interesting thread Pixie. A few weeks ago me & Mrs Catfan decided to have a wander around Nottm for the day. Visiting places we had not been to for years, although driven around these areas we had not walked on foot, so. Had to go for a blood test & the City Hosp, so caught a No 17 bus from Bulwell Bus Station about 7.30am, buying a couple of all day tickets £6.80 for the two (ouch). From City Hosp jumped on a No 40 something to St Anns Well Rd. That is where I spent my youth & had my first job at a garage on that road, long since gone but know the exact spot where it was. From

Good thread ! I could learn something here, bring em on !

Ah well, only one more week before we see the back of it. An absolute scandalous waste of money, this country cannot aford.

Stay where you are Tim ! Fresh input on any forum is good. Get postin !

Don't make me laugh ! My Stepdaughter is a Lesbian ! Notice I don't say "Gay" call a spade a spade, she hates it when I say "Lesbian" cos she is a "LESBIAN". but, I love her to bits, that doesn't make me homophobic. I just don't accept her sexual way of life thats all. Tim, calm down & don't be so touchy ! You arn't doing your cause any favours. !

What case ? I am certainly not homophobic, each to their own. I don't like chinese food either, does that make me a Racist ? All the years I have been a member of this forum I have never seen a homophobic comment. Are you sure you are not being over zealous in condemning posters who don't accept your particular lifestyle ? Like I previously said, if it floats your boat....................

"What I have noticed on the forums over the past couple of months is the homophobia there is on this forum, granted there isn't a lot, just the odd comment here and there but as a gay man I do notice it and find it a bit odd in this day and age" What do you find odd ? Most people accept homosexuality because they are constantly told it is "normal" behaviour, when it isn't. I don't condsider Homosexuality as normal behaviour, BUT, if that floats your boat then get on with it. So long as you don't bother me with it !.

Sue Pollard ! Absolutely awful. Not funny at all.

I like to walk that path too.! one of mine.

My sister lived on Plimsoll Terrace c1967 ish.

I bought a 750 gb external h/d from Tesco yesterday for £63 with 3 yrs warranty , no bigger than a mobile phone. I remember my first PC with a 2gb h/d !

Wollaton / Bramcote I heard.

No I'm not ! Don't like heights, so sent the missus up there to take the picture ! Taken from Lincoln Castle battlements.

Taken last year with an old Panasonic Lumix LX2. Got fed up carrying a DSLR around all day.

Toilets that I remember around Nottm which have gone; Nottm Rd, Canning Circus, Wollaton Rd Radford, Nuthall Rd, Wilkinson St, Colwick Rd, Queens Dr. & many others also. Inapropriate behaviour my A**E, more like the local council penny pinching & hoping no one would notice.

Name the firm Mick.....................so we can all boycott em !

And the days are getting shorter too !

I'm with you Ash on this one.

I can just about remember "Mighty Fine" when I joined NCT in 74.

Were'nt the public toilets originally water storage tanks built for the second world war in case of city center fires ? Converted to toilets after the war. Also remember Albert Brown when we lived in the old St Anns in the 60s. He & his "friend" Vivian, used to frequent the Lord Napier pub on Union Road.

Talking of Talbot Street & Lambert's factory, my missus (when she was a young lass ) in 1964, noticed a fire in that factory on her way to "Brownies" one night. Her & her cousin ran up to Canning Circus & saw a Copper& told him what they had seen. Here's the clip from the Nottm Evening Post a few days later. My Missus on the left BTW.

Jackson, my comment was tongue in cheek ! NOT to be taken seriously.
