  1. Does anyone have any information or possibly photos of Wilford Village Shop? Researching it as part of a family tree.
  2. Did you know WD40 removes hair dye from clothing? Well you do now :D
  3. Lovely pictures, especially love the kitties
  4. Parents who let their offspring run riot in supermarkets, poking and prodding things they have no intention of buying.
  5. Hi Judith I can remember swimming in that lake as a nipper when the lido was full, it wasn't very deep, you could put your feet on the bottom and it was thick cold black sludge. Can't believe our parents let us do that, guess we didn't see any danger back then :/
  6. They even found a little horse in mascarpone
  7. So very sorry to hear of your aunt 's passing. You have my sincere sympathies.
  8. Can't believe it's been forty years where did the time go!
  9. No you can't beat hand made, the sort you get in a garden centre is usually stapled and drops to bits after a bit of weathering.
  10. Looks great. You'de pay a small fortune for that in a garden centre.
  11. When washing up I was always reminded when the water overflowed "Wet your front, marry a drunk"
  12. Would love it if you could post the recipe please can't find my grans and new recipes don't taste the same.
  13. Turn the mirrors to face the wall when there is a storm.
  14. I was always told it was bad luck to thank the person who had picked up your dropped glove!
  15. I remember Sooty we were only talking about him last week. Tug Wilson gave a friend of mine a clip round the ear and when he told his dad what had happened his dad clipped his other ear! If that happened today there would be a police enquiry and social services would be called to sort out his dad!
  16. Does anyone remember Cat's Eye Kelly? She was the original crazy cat lady, had loads of cats and would always be seen pushing a pram with cats in. I was reminded of her yesterday when I adopted another cat and was told by my mum that I was turning into her
  17. That name rings a bell. What number did he live at?
  18. I'm still looking for this film on video or dvd for my mum. We lived in Stan's and my mum was in the film along with two of my brothers (the rest of us were at school) The film makers got one of my brothers to kick his football around in the yard of a neighbour who used her yard to empty her po into. I guess nowadays she would be classed as having mental health problems and would get help.
  19. The world can't end I just bought a bag for life!

    1. Bubblewrap

      Bubblewrap

      It can't end yet I've got a ticket for last Saturday's match!

  20. People who use their mobile phone while driving, the majority are women! Drivers who don't use their indicators, the majority are men! People who park in disabled parking spaces without displaying a badge but think they have a right to park where they like because they have a big car. The person who keeps letting their dog sh*t on my drive (I will catch you one day). Checkout staff who talk to each other while they are serving you. Bad manners (not the 80's group with Buster Bloodvessel ) The neighbours bad taste in loud music. And that's just for starters! Well you did ask !sleeping!
