I breast-fed my two urchins for their first six months. I only once remember feeding one of them in a public place. I was with a few other mums from a baby group and we were having a picnic in a park. One or two babes were starting to yell because they were hungry, mine included, so we decided to throw embarrassment to the wind and feed the babies. I don't think it was really acceptable back in the 70s and I seem to remember we were all a little nervous about feeding the little ones in public. I think if I'd been on my own I would have either gone home or at least sat in the car to feed.

The supplier of machines to All Saints was Scott Reynolds of a company called Unique Finds Ltd in Maidstone.

Thousands of vintage sewing machines have been used for very unusual window displays by the All Saints clothing stores around the World. They have all been supplied by one person ...... but need to google who that is but I doubt he's from Nottingham!

I thought he was really good in 'Pennies From Heaven' and was stunned to hear on the TV news tonight that the series was broadcast in 1978. Ha! Seems like yesterday ......

Compo # 19, my goodness, you were a brave little lad, walking through that tunnel. My mates and I would only dare go about 20 yards in, it was scary and damp. There were so many great and natural playgrounds for us kids in the 50s and 60s, so many lovely open spaces to play without our parents freaking out if we were home a little late.

Did you sit on the roof as well Firbeck?

We've had a base for work / holiday home in Miami for the past few years ........ suppose I'm risking some members saying 'Oh get you' or even worse but I won't worry! As my husband has now decided that he's had enough of all the travelling that was necessary with his work we decided to sell the place. Put it on the market in December and had 3 offers but for various reasons the deals fell through so we decided to go over for the whole of April for a working holiday. In the first two weeks of the month we had several viewings (and offers) which made it difficult to relax as we had to be al

Belated Happy Birthday Carni and Littlebro. I have an excuse, I wasn't reminded by anyone, plus I've had no internet connection for a couple of days. Back in the UK again, so sorry I didn't bring some sunshine back with me.

Welcome to Nottstalgia Notts2Oz, hope you enjoy the forum.

No Babs, I don't remember John Street at all.

I lived on Norman Villas until I was 8 years old.

I never ever use a mixer, just a fork to beat the batter, just like my Mum used to do. (She didn't have a mixer!). I don't bother with salt, as she did ...... no reason for that at all, just don't bother. And also don't bother with a drop of water because we always have 1% milk anyway, whereas in the 'olden days' you didn't have a choice with yer milk. I wouldn't say I'm a good cook at all but I'm proud of my Yorkshires, lol.

Good luck Melissa, I'm sure you'll do well.

Trevor will know, he was serving petrol at that time, earning his pocket money

I meant Loughborough Uni. not Loughbough, Hehe!

Student food? Our boys went to Loughbough Uni. We bought a house in the town when the eldest one started there and kept it for 9 or 10 years. We spent a fair amount of time in Loughborough during the summer, re-furnishing and general maintenance on the house. What we did notice was that the town centre was pretty dead during the summer, bit like Lenton and Beeston maybe?

Nope, sitting in the sunshine still ...... 86 degrees ...... Lovely ! Get back to UK on Tuesday, if I can drag myself to the airport.

Well ModelTMan, that's how you get a reaction from us regular Nottstalgia posters, just tell us our favourite forum is disjointed!! Are you in or do you still want out?!!!!

No ....... Went to a few in Bingham, Mapperley Park and Mapperley.

Thanks Rob, appreciate your offer of help and will most likely be in touch next week!

Oh Katy, that did make me laugh! My pals and I would tell porkies to our parents too, about staying at friends overnight, I suppose we all did it. There was one Saturday night, the end of Goose Fair, and we'd all got it planned, we were staying at each other's houses as far as parents were concerned. Friends of ours, a brother and sister called Paddy and Deirdre, invited us to stay at their house up Sherwood Rise somewhere so at midnight several of us went to the house. We all sat chatting away, don't think there was any booze as we were a little underage for that malarkey. Suddenly the f

Surely there's no need for you to unsubscribe, just don't bother to log onto Nottstalgia ....... There are no email alerts or anything else you'll need to worry about. Like Darkazana commented, a little perseverance might help, there are hundreds of topics and Nottstalgia has several thousand members.

I too only got 15 Darkazana. I reckon you and I didn't spend as much time glued to the box as all the others.

We bought a Sony laptop, but it's more of a tablet with a keyboard separate. It's Windows 8, we bought it in Miami in November and left it so we could use it when we're over here. When we came here the other week we brought our old laptop just in case we couldn't figure the new one out ( we're not very clever when it comes to technology!). So, we cannot get the hang of the new computer and the old laptop has given up the ghost completely while we've been here! Feel like my right arm's been chopped off, good job I have an iPad with me. The trouble is we've had work to do on the computer ...

Somebody nicked my 4 Tops LP at a party, the thieving swine!
