  1. I am asking people to think about what they say ,I am not here to fuel

    arguments ,I suggest you read the threads open mindly and decide which

    female is being derogetery to another female,if you cant see a problem then as far as you are concerned there is not a problem.

    If someone spoke of my daughter like that I would not be happy but if

    people think I am wrong then so be it.

    .

  2. Most people like to feel they are fair and tolerant (except me) ,but

    for a example on here men naturally call and joke about women ,and women do the same against men,but interestingly the most aggressive post on this subject is made by a woman against a woman,that seems to be ok,because a woman made that remark,if I had made the same remark

    I would be branded sexist or my post would be removed,that is sexism

    equality the result would be the same.

  3. I am really not being argumentative but ,cant you understand women want equality,you should be a genltleman to both sexes,ie polite and kind to everyone,everyone meaning all,again no exceptions,exceptions

    means division ,if you are not disabled why should I open the door for

    you,only reason politeness.

  4. #41 I find this contridictory that someone supporting feminism amd the rights for women ,then goes on about real men and patrinisingly suggests because of a photo that woman needs a real man to stick up for her ,sorry dont make any sense to me

    No wonder I get confused,you cannot have it always,let me know when its sorted then I can say something right.

  5. I cant remember a tool shop near kirkwhite st ,between kirkwhite st and cromford st were,selectadisc,flewitts bakers,lyons tuffee shop,andy bones bike shop,then palmers cleaned his car for years but cant remember what he sold,he later had a plastic moulding business upstairs making the removable strips they had on car doors for a while

    think they were supposed to stop you bashing your door,anyone remember them,he later moved to a building on ghe corner near mundella school

    near the tennis courts near the embankment

  6. The tool shop I meant was between waterway st and cromford st,stoppards was on the corner of cromford st tool shop was 2 doors up arkwright st towards waterway st,the guy who owned it drove the new

    square shape zepher of the time nice bloke one of my car wash customers I worked in the shop for a bit when I left school

  7. #365 jewish business men were rife in the 60s,most of the ragtrade was owned by jews for example,burnhams that ran at the side of the railway

    Opposite midland station,most kind people.

    Does anyone remember the tool shop on arkwright st it was a couple of

    doors down from stoppards.

  8. Sorry to hear your grandad no longer alive,if it was the ben I knew he was a very kind funny man ,me and a couple of other kids often put our heads round the door for a bit of banter its people like him that bring us to this site because we long for those fantastic meadows characters and humour.really were happy days

    #193 first shop ajoining bridgeway hall was bens bookshop,selectadisc

  9. The shop I recall was ajoined, to bridgeway hall on arkwright st ,he rented lower floor to market trader ,I used to do odd jobs for ben when I was a kid ,fetch pot of tea and sandwich ,you could take your own pot then,he got me job with market traders like , counting and bundling,pencils ,and christmas paper,ben used to offer me a handful of pennies or sixpence,I would ask him to see how many pennies he could hold ,it was a lot more than sixpence,so I asked for a handfull of pennies somehow I ended up with tuppece conning bugger,seriously

    though he were a nice bloke,could your grandad have had this shop

    definitely not the one above,perhaps your dad might know.

    The shop I knew would have been 60s
