Good luck Melissa, you've certainly brightened our forum with you inquisitiveness and interesting posts :-)

Same as Commo 19 out of 20 & baffled by #1, 'cos too old to be watching kids telly

You only need to visit Ypres, & walk through the Museum to see & hear the worst of the atrocities of war. To be at the Menin Gate at 8pm for the reveille, the feel of the place evokes such strong sentiments & feelings, especially after the museum visit...........I'm not ashamed to say it moved this fat old lump to tears, the first time. It's continued to do the same on subsequent visits, the story of Ypres pretty much sums up the sheer waste & futility of war..............but bl**dy Hell we did it all again 21 years later......................

Is Albert still frequenting (haunting) Yates's.......................??

Happy Birthday Ma'am, and many more, long may your reign continue

Was that when it became "8 till late"? Still owned by Mick Parker I think..................

Helen, Please pass on my very best wishes to Paul for a speedy recovery, my best wishes to you also, as I feel sure you'll play a big part in nursing him back to health, good luck to you both.

I resemble the last remark........................

Whilst on holiday last week, met a lady called Kim, who's family apparently owned a few shops on Denman Street in the 60's/70's/80's. The family name was King, anyone remember them? & what shops they had...................

One of the great characters in politics, but almost unelectable because of it, bit like Boris Johnson I suppose................

Great listening Moz, a real blast from the past, Boogaloo Party, The Entertainer, I also saw Inez & Charlie Foxx, just like a night at the Bung!!

Craig..........Remember well the Bluebeat reference to Ska, I recall you could buy thin brimmed 'bluebeat hats' , from Jeffs, many of us did..........

I used to catch the 15 & the 15A, when going to the Becket School, or catch the 43 trolleybus & walk along the embankment & over the suspension bridge (cheaper ride)

I met him on a few occasions, very down to earth lovely man, sadly missed by many in Nottingham, no matter who you supported, RIP Tony.

Getting personal now are you?

Agreed, twas always the Co-op for us, I think the biggest draw was cheap prices AND the Divi' .................105989, never will forget that number
