Ive just read elsewhere that the Boulevard pub is being converted into a mosque ? Surely not...Can anyone confirm or deny this? I will ask my mum to confirm which pubs she lived in as a kid, although it wouldnt of been the clinton Arms down basford. She just called the pub the Clinton, and i think it was on Clinton Street? Sorry to be a little vague, but these were just snippets of what she was talking about.

Forgot to add, i think we've all hear the saying mutton dressed as lamb, well she remebers a add on that ive not heard before.... Mutton dressed as Lamb, but alright wi a bit of mint sauce!.....?

I asked my mum today if she could remember the security guards name, she couldn't sorry, She used to try and avoid the security guards as much as possible!....I let you draw your own conclusion to that one. She grew up in Radford, in the clinton pub (?) i think she said, some where near alfred st central ? moved to harold road around 1957 until 1976/77. She made dresses for local women to make extra money from home, mentioned a Mrs Crawley, who i believe owned a few properties in the area. Steves Cafe had a phone and many people gave the number, if they got calls, and a young lad would come

i'm familiar with most of the sayings so far, im 34 and find a few of me mams words coming out my mouth now and again, much to the bemusement of my southerner hubby! Heres a few that spring to mind, im certain i'll think of many more! Sh1t wi sugar on was often on the menu in our house.( ? ) family members were always and still are called "our" ~ as in our darren said, or our steve was ect. (s'pose this is quite common) Mum (MAM) often has the problem of people who have "looked at her gone out" ( vacant expression ) I being the youngest often had to sit on the dogs shelf! ( the floor )

The fish man in pubs..... infact pubs!
