    Heard a rumor quite a while back that the area around West Street, Furlong road and High street road was built upon an pre victorian cemetery, Just wondering how true this is or is it just a rumor? Lost cemeteries are nothing new. I remember hearing when they demolished the old Ice Stadium they found a forgotten WW1 cemetery in the car park next door.

    I remember as a kid, everybody on a street new everybody. They all looked out for everyone elses kids, street parties for special occasion like VE Day in 1995 on Harrogate street in Netherfield, everybody talked. These days its gone away, all the neighbours have 6 ft high fences, havent got 5 minits to check in on the elderly widow 4 doors down or just pop round for a cuppa and a chat. I miss those days. Am i the only one who does?

    Yeah the original BRSA near Morrisons has or is going to be demolished quite soon, A KFC is going in its place, What a shame, The last building of Colwick Depot going forever. As for Anagas House, My dad used to work along side Dr Moorwood (if anyone remembers him) in the early 70's and he went inside the mortuary for years.

On the bright side, I had me breakfast sat on the steps near the outflow this morning, watching the tide go out and lapping around the 2 bottom steps.

    BBC were going on about what the babies title will be when born and its fairyly obvious really. It would be HRH Prince/Princess *First name* Of Cambridge as the children always take the title of the father hence Prince William and Prince Harry of wales, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York. Im pleased for them.
