Everlasting Love by Love Affair, first line' Hearts go astray' sounds totally different to me, possibly unprintable here for tender ears, and those who like myself have lead a sheltered life.

A favourite of my Mums....... "I'll remind you of that when you have children"

Babbs, I went through school, Ashwell to Chandos with Pete Bidulph, we joined the Merchant Navy about the same time, he jumped ship in New Zealand, came back to the UK fairly recently, lives in Gloucester now.

Ordoyno... what terrifying memories that brings up! He was the most horrific thug at Mundella,-taught(?) maths. An ace expert at smashing desk lids down on fingers and heads,...crack shot with the board rubber and other missiles, and an awful temper to boot!
This guy sounds like the love child of a lot of teachers at Chandos St. Netherfield

You're not sorry, you're just sorry you were caught.

How many times were you told 'pick your feet up'
-
I remember being told never to pick dandelions, they'ed make you wet the bed.

My dad would often say this if he were asked where he was going, and I've not heard it for a while
but did anyone actually "go to see a man about a dog"?

Just thought I'd pop back in here after a little toaster related incident this morning, my present wife overdid her toast and I blurted out something I've not said , or heard for years, 'yuv bont it tu boggery'. Got a very strange look.

I was always told to take my coat off when I went indoors as I would'nt feel the benefit when I went back out

The present wife has just bought me 'My Father and other Working Class Football Heroes' by Gary Imlach, son of Stewart, looking forward to reading it, heard a lot about it.

Victoria baths in the late 50s early 60s especially the Oval pool, the overpowering smell of chlorine, often mixed with feet if Friday night bathes had been skipped.
The Colwick Cheese Factory.

Friday nights were a treat for me, up to the Windsor Castle at the bottom of Carlton Hill with my dad checking in his pigeons for the next days race. Saturday night at the BRSA in Netherfield, crisps, lemonade and perhaps something from the Kershaw basket. Sunday, dad on his way home from sugar beet brought in mars bars, caramac, an ice cream block and a bottle of Tizer to mix with said ice cream. yum yum

I'm sure hearts will be gladenned to know that the Mablethorpe sand train is still running.
Any news of Jimmy87.

Nice to see Mabos raised its head again, everything is still here. Indeed exciting times, talk of a tidal swimming pool being built no less, events later in the year include The buskers festival and in Sept The Bathing Beauties weekend, Sat 16th of March is The Motor Bike festival held mainly around The Queens Park area, further updates to follow.

My own Bowie favourite is still The Port of Amsterdam.

Just thought I'd give this a "bump" A lot of new folks on the site since this topic first aired. Maybe dig up some new memories.
I was at Chandos 1958/62, previously at Ashwell St, strangely enough I posted yesterday (26th) regarding the corporal punishment that took place and the teachers who dealt it out. In my time there, the staff, I recall were Messrs. Marsh, Winters, Fox, Stanley, Brazier, Quartermaine, Parker, Jones, Marshall (aka Mad Mick) Still and Pike (woodwork) Whittington/ham PE. dont remember the metalwork teacher though.
-
I had the dubious pleasure of attending Chandos St School in Netherfield 58/62, (a safe haven for a bunch of power crazed teachers) corporal punishment was rife, from Mr Marsh the headmaster (cane), Mr Winter (rubber tubing from the science lab), PoP Stanley (slipper), Mr Brazier (strap) Mad Mick Marshall RE teacher(cane) Mr Jones (clip behind the tab) Mr Fox (well aimed piece of chalk, or blackboard rubber whichever was the handiest) Mr Still and Mr Pike (woodwork, chisel between the fingers or lump of wood to any part of the body) PE teacher, name escapes me, (slipper). Happy days.

You must always salute a Magpie, say "good morning captain"and spit, bit messy if you're driving though.
I was told that whenever I had boiled eggs I should smash the empty shells to stop witches from using them as boats to go out to sea and drown sailors.

In the 60s during the week it was free entry and 1d on a Sunday.

Ours was the tuppenny rush at the Regal in Carlton, or fourpence on the balcony, on the front row so you throw sweet wrappers, ice cream cartons, fizzy drink on the kids below.

We used to go and see the fat tattooed lady, now I just walk down Mabo High St, especially in the summer, theres lots of them.

The Moss Empire, remember it well, saw a panto in the early 60s starring Eve Boswell and Mark Winter , went to the Concert Hall in the 80s to see Motorhead

I always liked the smell of creosote, even volunteered to do the fence a few times. Going back to the old rec in Netherfield, remember some pipe laying going on in the 50s and there was a night watchman with his little hut and a coke burning brazier, loved the smell of burning coke.
that's why god made the radio, what do you think
in Owt' Abaaht Nowt !

Oh the joys of the wireless, The Navy Lark, Round the Horn, The Clitheroe Kid, Sing Something Simple, Two Way Family Favourites, but the best, to me anyway has to be Archie Andrews and Peter Brough, fantastic, a ventriloquist on the wireless, well I for one never saw his lips move
