Still driving with a clean record at 72. As you say premiums go up every time as well. Now they are pushing a monitoring device with the excuse if you drive few miles you get a rate reduction. They play down its gps and speed monitoring abilities. I will not be constantly monitored by theses creeps. So I guess I will face the choice one of these days. Maybe get me bike out again,
Loopy these devices can be a good thing, my granddaughter has one of the devices fitted (not long passed her test) someone ran into her at a junction. They signalled to go left came straight on hit her on the driver side, on their accident form said they were doing 30mph but the device in her car recorded the impact at 51mph so can have their uses.

Think its the Barnet Formula, they get paid a subsidy goes back a number of years when they were in need. Now it allows them to give free prescriptions/university fees to name but a few. Its worth looking up. If they get the independence their government wants so much the Barnet Formula should stop.

My favourite fish and chips are home made, Lady Christl first early spuds left in the ground for 18/20 weeks to increase in size, fillet of hake in SWMBO's home made batter and fresh garden peas.
All I need now is beef dripping to fry it in, but it is difficult to find.
Britania beef dripping try Waitrose/Tesco/Morrisons available locally to me, maybe available country wide.

Margie, yes MERLOT is mainly for wet AMD, which is the most destructive. We did a trial at our hospital and it works for dry AMD too.

There is Captain Cook Museum in Staithes now incorporated in the Heritage Centre. We spent all of my childhood holidays in Staithes my aunt married a local fisherman, she still owns a house on Cowbar Bank, our children loved to go as did our grandchildren. WE tend not to go in the summer holidays to busy, if you walked up the bank you went onto Boulby cliffs.

I may have found out what comes next after Nelsons Column - The Odinist Faith have requested that the Church of England give them back churches because 1,300 years ago they took over their places of worship.

Calling for Nelsons column to be knocked down what will the Pc idiots come up with next. Robin Hood because he took money from the rich, Earl Grey because they don't like his tea, Boadicea because she was a female warrior, the list could be endless. If these people are our future we won't have one.

Eastwood Hall is now Hayley Conference Centre. Probably stick with Sun Inn for digs. can't think of anywhere else at the mo'. Let me know when you are here and we might have a pint, I live just opposite Hayley Conference Centre.
Advice noted and taken thank you, we have been going to the Sun Inn for a number of years it was run by a relative when we first went when they moved on we kept on going.

I was looked after as a small child during school holidays by my grandmother, Gladys Hindley at number 5 Birkin Avenue.
Visiting the site recently all of the houses backing onto the school have been demolished sadly.
The area now appears td be very much smaller than I remember! There were toilets in the yard and a cafe known locally
as 'Dirty Dick's' that sold items like Kellog's corn flakes. Opposite was a grocer's shop that cut slices of ham on one of
those deadly looking machines! I recall buying 'sweet' cigarettes from that shop. Anyone out there recall life in Birkin Avenue?
Only help that I can give is re: Dirty Dicks real greasy spoon place known for their pink lint cobs "spam and tomato" about 3/4 shops up from Lenos Cinema, might give a point of reference for other shop.

Have read all the comments in this thread and have come to the conclusion that maybe i shouldn't be posting. My hubby is Hyson Green born and bred so joined to keep him up with all the changes in Nottingham. Most of my posts are of my own area plus those of when we visit relatives in Nottingham, i lived in Nottingham 3 years one year at University rest working. If i have got things wrong sorry. Love reading all posts anything and everything.

Hubby was in the children's hospital in 1955 from August to beginning of November and the only thing he can remember is the night sister singing " There's a tiny house by a tiny stream" she sang it every night before putting the lights out. He thinks the ward was called the " boiler ward" as it was in the basement recalls there were no big window just very small ones.

Have just read an article about the woman with 8 kids on 26 grand a year she has an AGENT !!!!!! thought you had to do something (like Work) to need an agent or is taking the p out of hardworking people now classed as work.

I go to a small local theatre which is 5 minutes from my house, they have been there since 1943. They put on 10 plays each year always a good variety, for a long time there seemed to be the same people for most performances. Two new housing estates have been built opposite the theatre and there is now a lot bigger audience both young and old. It is called The Little Theatre and was started in 1920s by the sisters of a local family. I still visit the Theatre Royal but at the prices they charge very selective in my visits.
