Stop taking my name in vain Mick P.s. Some people wear a "rabbit's" foot for luck I always say the rabbit had four feet & they didn't bring it much luck.

Favourite Autumnal Walks in Nottingham!
Bubblewrap replied to burtkt's topic in General Chat about Nottingham
One "walk" I sometimes do is to get off the South Notts bus at Wilford Green & walk through Wilford village over the toll bridge along the Trent embankment to Trent Bridge and up Arkwright Walk then on into the city centre. P.S. I have been known to walk all the way from Loughborough to the City Centre via the A60(takes about four & a half hours) -
A 750gram pack of bran flakes from Aldi for 88p

4000 holes in...Arnold and elsewhere
Bubblewrap replied to ....'s topic in Kat's Carlton, Mapperley, Arnold & Sherwood Forum
I always thought the "holes" were in Blackburn Lancashire & were rather small but they had to count them all and how many hole does it take to fill the Albert Hall?. -
Would you use a dirty toilet?
-
Need a big portion of chips for that

I think some form of "block paving" has been around for longer than you may realise. I have not seen the programme you are on about though. But don't forget that some streets in Nottingham were block paved in Victorian times. http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/frontend.php?action=printdetails&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;NTGM011946&prevUrl=

I was talking about what it was originally built for & not on what it is now. Workhouses were built to "save" money on poor relief and were not intended to be nice to be in. In general a workhouse as a place to live was a rule the last place you would want to live in.

No kids around Silence.........Bliss.

Get a bottle of Absinthe to mix with it they go well together & a lot better than Bucks Fizz.
