Oh yes... ergh!

I should have seed that? Ta.

At the Saturday morning rush at the Globe (6d entrance? - 1960) Hoppalong Cassidy films were popular. Which were your favourites? I think mine was the corny Batman! I recall the booing of the baddies and cheering of the goodies. The Orange Maid suckers, the Midland Counties ice cream and Fry's Five Boys chocolate bars amongst others. Ah...

Still a bit frustratin' with, refreshing, reloading, Oops! Something went wrong! etc. The formatting options do not appear when doing a post. I'm glad I do not have to tackle these problems - all beyond me! Good luck to mick2me.

How will this affect Nottstalgia please?

I didn't see any article on this - just read the poster in the window as I hobbled past. But as you say, even if split, the cost of rent, wages, insurance, rates, remodelling the shop etc, sounds too excessive to make a profit surely? I don't know how all the food outlets make it pay, they are so many of them competing nowadays - I don't even know how folk can afford to buy a fancy coffee after reading the prices. I digress, sorry. Cheers

I think the Poundland in Broadmarsh will soon be closing as it changes/modernises as an entertainment based mall as opposed to retail. I noticed on the windows of the old Virgin store - a rent of £322,000 per annum was required. Blimey!

They were sold within an hour of going on display. (Tsk!)

Blow, bother, and bloomin' 'eck. I've just took a few to the Age UK charity shop. Tsk!

I've just checked me yoghourt Sir - BB 3 Dec. Okat ta.

Me too. Can't get to format either. Hey-ho.

Me extremities Me extremities! I blame it on me medications. (And age of course)

I do me washin' at the launderette, on 'Warm' setting normally. Is that all right do you think? Did it on hot once by mistake - my chair blanket thingie is now about the size of a tea towel, and wrinkled. A bit like me really. Hehe!

I went into Lidl yesterday - and I was not overcharged, sneered at - and the bloke on the checkout was patient as I struggled to get me cash to pay him with. Nice change that. TTFN

I know, I know... there is no hope for me... none... I'll put the kettle on!

I was going to buy and read Tony Blair's... But I decided not to waste me money on science fiction!

I agree Sir - He is such an unassuming chap too! Loved his role as the granddad in Dr Who too! And his role in Carry on Columbus - Brilliant! Cheers all.

By gum I do remember them soldiers. I suppose I've killed off many German, French and Russian armies in the past. Hehe!

The Hotspur was my favourite comic - took a while to get used to picture version when it changed from the written tales though. I loved making (usually a mess) up the Air-Fix kits, planes, battleships etc.

His Gossip Calypso hit was perhaps me favourite comedy song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKNYOh8iK6g Wouldn't be allowed nowadays - political incorrect!

Brilliant!

Another hero of mine.

Your right, it was a great place to eat. Spike was appearing somewhere in Nottingham at the time. He was on his own and a bit tipsy - but so was I at the time (a bit tipsy). A brilliant character and genuine chap I thought. Cheers.

Done it. Good luck.

I wur luki there - Dad woking at British Rail This meant we got so many free train passes, and then PT's (No idea what PT stood for, but we got several trips at 2/3rds off the price each year. I recall Dad getting a Vauxhall 14 series car, and that had the strongest welcoming smell of all the cars he had. But I recall he was not happy with low MPG - blimey, how much was petrol in 1958? Wait till I join him, and tell him how much it costs today - he'll probably clip me one round the ear and tell me stop lying! Hehe. Cheers
