I remember lung healers, orange coloured boiled sweets, tasted like Strepsils.

My Mam used to tell me to ask the man at the co-op for a ride on his bacon slicer or go and play on the railway lines with a packet of razor blades

Did anybody keep thier rammel in the lumber room

Your like a f#rt in a colander, you couldn't get out for holes

Got off the tram at the bogs last July, Whilst waiting for a bus sat and watched the rats crossing over to the rubbish bin for food then back across the river. There were at least 8 children paddling near by.

Palm toffee banana strawberry and chocolate, cherry lips, satin cushions, pontefract cakes, jap filberts.

Have you washed your dalla's (hands)

Yer daft me duck ya foller balloons.

We played a game called may I cross your shining water, where you had to do squashed tomatoes, mirrors, giant strides and fairy steps. I can remember a shop at the bottom of Carleton Road that sold clay pipes and using them for bubbles.

I can remember my mother going to the wash house on Bath Street, beside the Victoria baths. Rows of sinks , boilers mangles and huge drying cabinets. I think you could do ironing there too.

Anyone remember snobs

Hi Lynn, Lived in Keyworth '62-63. didn't like the travelling and having to leave the dog all day by herself, had a good neighbour who took her out lunchtime though.

Sorry Lyn the Lynda I remember was tall with dark curly hair. Was Mr Powdrill still there when you were and Betty in the wages with her ryvita.

I can remember getting the dreaded brown envelope in the early 50's. Mum with the fine tooth comb and newspapers on the floor and that horrible smelling white lotion plastered on my head. No one to play with for days, it was like you had the plague. Luckily I never got another one.

Hello All, Originally from Sneinton, moved to the Meadows in 54 then Keywoth for a short time before moving here 40 odd years ago

Hi Lynmee, I too worked in Elastic Yarns accounts in the early 60's. NCR machine. Wonder if your the Lynda I remember from then.
