I don't usually put a bay leaf and nutmeg in my tripe, but it sounds luvvly so I'll give that method a go. Anybody wanna comment on pigs trotters!?

You wouldn't make much money now, hiring deck chairs down the embankment, even if its red hot, too many geese and geese crap everywhere, they ought to have a cull. I remember going down there as a teenager to try to pull the birds, it was packed out then (early 60's), you could hire rowing boats on the river or take a trip in one of two motor launches to Colwick Pleasure Park, as a kid you thought you had gone miles, actually it was just around the corner, incidently the two motor cruises were used in the evacuation of troops at Dunkirk.

Just been laying in the bath, reminicing about the past as you do, and I wondered if anyone can remember the good old fashoined food your ma would give you, for instance, tripe and onions (smashing), raw tripe with pepper and vinegar, pigs trotters, bubble and squeak (the left overs from Sunday dinner), and I think i remember you could even buy sheeps brains and have them fried! ugh! I also remember such delights of eating hot peas from the pea stall on the corner of the old central market, opposite the old Huntingdon St bus station, I think it was owned by the same family who have the pea st

Does anyone remember the little three wheeled 'messerschimt' came out late 50's early 60's I think, and then of course the bubble car. I think neither had a reverse gear.

Looks a bit like Roy Hudd to me - But I guess I'm, wrong - again!

OK - Lets see now! Why is the Clifton Bridge Inn, called the 'Ponderosa'?

It's Richard Parkes Bonnington, A good few of his paintings are housed in Nottingham Castle

Talking about old radio progs - anyone remember Jimmy Clitheroe (the Clitheroe Kid) or the Navy lark with Leslie Phillips and how about a ventrilquist on the radio - Archie Andrews with Peter brough - wow showing me age now!

I can remember as a small child my father taking me to an air display at Syston, it was here the vulcan crashed - it's one of those things you can always remember!

They were the days - we only had chicken at Christmas, how things have changed - My mam also did 'bubble and squeak' on mondays for tea - it was the left overs from sunday lunch fried up in the pan - lovely. I remember when folk had a big pot annd into it went all the left overs and it was constantlky on the stove cooking a 'stew' ugh- But we weren't scared of eating owt then and never picked up all these modern ailments folk seem to get now - it's because they are cosseted so much - no immunity!

Hi, I remember Bren at the QE, I believe he had an interest in 'The Plough' on St Peters St, Radford a bit later on. Used to go there on Friday nights for the Rock and Roll, D.J. was Rockin Ray, who used to play vinyl only! great, had some good nights with lock ins until about 3.30a.m.

Last I heard the South Notts Hussars was going to be pulled down and a block of flats (now called 'apartments' - sounds better!) was going to be built there. I think the local populous lodged objections and so we await the outcome of the hearing, but it will still be pulled down and the flats built, the local councillors never listen to the views of the people who put them in office! As I recall, the pub was crap anyway, nver anyone in when I went in - maybe folk were trying to tell me summot!

The Regiment marching past the council house is 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, I know I am in the picture, I am sat at the back of the landrover which is to the right of the lead landrover. The regiment was receiving the freedom of the city of Nottingham, as it did most of its recruiting in Nottingham. The CO was Lt Col Martin Farndale. It was a very proud day for myself and the Nottingham lads of the Regiment. The picture is a copy of the official painting by Terence Cuneo. Thank You 24067582 Gnr Askew, 1st Regiment RHA 1965 - 1972.
