Dodie

You're in for a treat.

Raining yet again

So sorry to hear of your loss, heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I attended Deering '56-58, the houses were Newsted, Welbeck, Hardwick and Chatsworth then.

Katy, have you your shoes on the wrong feet.

It is indeed, long time no see. Messaged you.

Hi Cuz, how are you.

All changed here from this morning.

I too was sent to Sandersons, the one on Wilford Road beside the Magna pub for a pound of white and 1/2 a pound of dark. Dark was eaten raw for tea like Carni, the rest with onions next day with mash and mushy peas, not forgetting the HP sauce. I never tried it just the white sauce on my mash and peas.

I used to like the yellow kali.

I think the green un was a sheffield paper.

I remember the compound on the corner of Manvers and Pennyfoot street being erected. After the workmen left local kids all flocked to it as the gates were up but no wire fencing on them and they made a great swing. I was about 4 year old at the time but couldn't get a swing as I couldn't reach the bar to hold on. Somehow or other my right thumb got squashed in the gate as it swung to. Split it to the first knuckle, luckily a neighbour was just getting off the bus took me home and got her Dad who was the Landlord of the Poplar Tree at that time to take me to the General Hospital in his car. (

Sorry that was meant to be about Home and Colonial.

I think there was one on Exchange Walk, on the left going towards the Square. Mum sent me there for 1oz of bay leaves when I was about 12. Darent ask for 1oz so got a quarter. There were enogh to fill a sweet jar. Never lived that down, she told everyone.

The "Navigation" was my home in the 50's and 60's.

Have heard Jade Lakeasha is good.

I lived further down Poplar Street in the early fifties in the Poplar Tree.

Went to Deering 1956 when it opened. Mr Wallace was the form master. Form 3a. He taught maths and science. Mr Chaplain english, Miss Brown Geography, Mr Moore History, Mrs Gower Needlework, Miss Lawrence Cookery.Mrs Pinder Music. Miss Trafford P.E.Mr Preston Headmaster. Mrs Terry vice head. Left 1958.

There were Three brick and concrete ones in the playground of St Phillips School on Pennyfoot Street in sneinton.

I chased a bug around a tree I'll have his blood he knows I will

That took me back a bit. My Dad was the Landlord of the Navigation from 1953-1965 thanks for the pic.

near as I could get it

A very Merry Christmas everyone from Northern Ireland

The sweet factory on Traffic street was John Derbyshires
