  1. Bleddy Amazon and Black Friday. I ordered four Kindles and they sent me a 'Two Ronnies' DVD.
  2. An interesting article from todays Nottingham Post. http://www.nottinghampost.com/news/news-opinion/nine-best-victorian-buildings-nottingham-769968
  3. I know now why my tea tastes like p*ss.
  4. Well, I put a funny post on but it seems the joke is on me (why am I thinking of the Bee Gee's, haha). I just didn't 'get' your reply last night Margie as it was late and I was feeling tired but I've had a good laugh at all the posts this morning.
  5. It was a humorous post, Margie but it seems you've all missed the point because you've not realised what type it is.
  6. I've been doing some more research and was pleased to come across this article: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/147/pdfs/uksi_20170147_en.pdf
  7. With so many of the Black Boy Hotel photos missing, due to Photobucket, I thought I'd post this article from the Nottingham Post today. There are some good photos of the Black Boy Hotel that you may not have seen. It makes you angry to see that they demolished the Black Boy Hotel and there's now a bland Primark store in it's place. http://www.nottinghampost.com/news/history/remembering-black-boy-hotel-one-694296
  8. I've only just seen this thread, catfan and I'm sorry to learn that things aren't going too well for you at the moment. Hopefully, things will start to improve and you're back to your old self again.
  9. What fantastic news, Lizzie. I was looking at the meetup photos today and thought how well you looked. I really am so pleased for you.
  10. Jill Sparrow....teachers pet.
  11. Greater Nottingham Co-Operative Society
  12. I was sad to learn that George Young had died today. 'Friday On My Mind' was one of my favourite songs and I'm always singing it. George Young R.I.P.
  13. Welcome to Nottstalgia, M Westley. I look forward to reading your posts and sharing your memories. I've attached a photo of my eldest brother, who is the little one at the front, in Oxford Street, Bulwell. I hope it's what you're looking for.
  14. I'm pleased that you like it, Trogg and have no problem with you using the photos. Luckily, on the back of the photo was the names of the other auxiliary firemen which I've attached to this post. Click on the photo to enlarge it. My dad, Arthur Booth, is the second name down. I mentioned this because the writing isn't easy to read. I hope that the Notts retired firefighters group find it of interest.
  15. Thanks for your kind words, Cliff Ton. We should also remember that it makes a lot of extra work for yourself. Photobucket certainly made a mess of Nottstalgia but we can slowly get it back to what it was, an excellent Forum that is enjoyed by us all.
  16. My dad, far left, in the Army. 1940. Place unknown.
  17. Is this the one you mean from 1958, catfan? I don't think the cowboy hat was part of his uniform, haha.
  18. My dad, on the left, in Witney, Oxfordshire 1940.
  19. My dad, second left, with the Nottingham Auxiliary Fire Service, 1940.
  20. My dad, far right, with the Nottingham Auxiliary Fire Service, 1940.
