It's called shrinkflation and has received a lot of coverage here. Examples....... https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/shrinkflation-on-the-rise-which-reveals-the-items-that-have-shrunk-in-size-but-not-in-price-az2376B4mj5T

I remember those stamps in my days at Infants & Junior School. My parents gave 6d per week for a stamp, and by the end of the school year I had the massive sum of £1. https://shorturl.at/bcdDH

I thought she was still officially known as Queen Consort - although I realise that extra word might not make a lot of difference. I'm not particularly interested in the Royals anyway, but at least like to know who I'm talking about

I went past the Wilko at Clifton today; it's closed down. https://maps.app.goo.gl/syDHTCn1jcnd64YL6 It also makes me feel old because when I was younger that building was a Co-Op, which I also remember.

At least you know what those words mean, and you can use them in a sentence. The time to be worried is when you think you're reading a foreign language.

Unfortunately denshaw and myself are only Moderators and don't have any powers with Admin topics. The only person who can do that is Mick2me, and he's not very often here. One way around the problem might be for Radfordee to create a new account; ie - go back and pretend she's never been here before. When doing that there are two things to remember: 1. Don't use the same email address as previously. 2. Don't use the same name (eg. use Radfordee2 or similar).

The only other suggestion I can make is..... Click on the three black dots at top right. That should enable you to scroll down to an option called 'Desktop Site'....which might bring back the missing features.

The thing you tap on is, effectively, a bookmark. Delete it from your homescreen. Then search for Nottstalgia as though you'd never been there before.

If you are looking at another website (eg anything), how do you then change to looking at NS ? You'd either use a bookmark, or Search specifically for NS.

What is it that you might be deleting and re-downloading ? Are you accessing NS from a bookmark ? Delete the bookmark, and then do a search for NS as though you'd never seen it before.

There is actually a forum where people talk about roads. https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=1

That, I think, is the answer. Everyone is waiting for someone else to start something. And if there aren't many people around anyway, nothing will get started. So far the Bots aren't (yet) capable of starting new threads

The name Grundy Street didn't ring a bell, but in fact I knew it without realising it; just off Alfreton Road opposite the shops. And it's still there today. https://maps.app.goo.gl/vm8oSaqvgAsVC66k8

Kids from Berridge, with an explanation from Jill S.

I've always thought it looked daft in its current location. It seems to have been dropped at random, by someone with their eyes closed. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KWC5zmHSLBVRgzRs5

I think we've now established a new record for the smallest number of posts in a 24 hour period.

Goose Fair is going to be a Drone-free zone. https://westbridgfordwire.com/airspace-restriction-over-goose-fair-bans-drone-pilots/

I thought that name rang a bell. The story featured on BBC News website. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66836614

The advertising is starting to appear again for it this year. It officially runs from Friday September 29th until Sunday October 8th. 10 days. They might as well just leave it permanently on The Forest.

@benjamin1945 Have you ever actually met Polly or seen her in real life ? Is she aware how much you worship her ?

Another universal law of junk concerns items which you have lying around for many years and never use. Eventually you admit it's useless rubbish and you finally get rid of it. Within a week, you'll have found a use for it and wish you'd kept it.

I still have my dad's toolbox and many of the tools in it. They get used occasionally, but it's mainly a source of nostalgia. There are hammers and screwdrivers and spanners in there which are older than me. I learned on them when I was a kid.

...and you seem to have had quite a few, but you've managed to take the rough with the smooth and come out happy and able to talk about it. Long may you continue. A good lesson in how to deal with downturns and look on the bright side of things.

There's also an old thread about Highfields. https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/1256-highfields-lido-and-park/?tab=comments#comment-9993

A couple of years ago I had my first case of almost struggling to get in/out of a car. I was a passenger in an MX5, and it was more of a challenge than I'd expected. Mainly because it was simply so close to the ground.
