Tell us about your love life in 1959, Ben! Barbara Cartland's books have got nothing on you...not that I've ever read any!
Read one Barbara Cartland and you've read them all, so I have been told .Bit like Catherine Cookson !! just my opinion.

Nonna, also watched it and found some of the evidence quite compelling. We visited Northern Ireland in November and went to visit the Titanic exhibition it was a wonderful way to spend a day. Very interesting lots of facts and information that was new to me, recommended place to go. If you visit Belfast I also recommend Crumlin Road Goal, spooky to say the least, of the two attractions I preferd the prison.

I bet they weren't wearing liberty bodices
!
Since the liberty bodice was mentioned in a thread sometime ago it keeps popping up in various threads, we all seem to be getting obsessed with it. Never a very comfortable item to wear but it did keep your chest warm. However a little off subject I decided to make some for my miniature dolls think they must have struck a cord as they sell well. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you DJ found it interesting reading but there is nothing that will help the underlying poverty in the area. Poor housing, parents that are to young to cope nothing to stop the circle but a little help has to be better than nothing.

I've got some Grants to finish off. That'll do, I'm not wasting Jameson's on medicinal purposes.
Ask Father Christmas to bring you a bottle of Jameson:s Special Reserve.

Totally agree with you caftan, millions are raised every year yet they keep asking for more, where does it all go. There are some very deprived areas in Newcastle but they are closing after school clubs and breakfast clubs, sometimes only meal apart from school dinners. Do they focus on certain areas/activities never seem to hear about what they do with the money raised. We support the NSPCC and have done for a lot of years the only charity that I can see doing good in my area.

Please don't 'throw in the towel' Mick; you've built (and bought at your own expense) something special here - a unique mine of information for all that is Notts. I'm sure that the majority of members (and the anonymous viewers) are behind you. The few dissatisfied ones can choose whether or not to stay with us.
I don't like the new format but I do like nostalgia so just keeping reading and posting maybe one day it will be a "eureka" moment. Stick with it Mick because I and many others will miss you.

Nah Ian, couldn't possibly contemplate leaving the "People's Republic of Bulwell" !
No matter what the temptation !
Catfan when visiting Nottingham we went all touristy and visited Bulwell, it was a nice day as we walked around noticed babies with the bulwell dummy and the amount of young mothers with a multitude of children, Probably not noticed if I had not read comments on Nostagia. Oh by the way the daft dog fell in the Leen happy days.

Northern men have a habit of saying " the wife " as in the wifes over there/the wifes in the house I think they can not remember her name. Hubby being a Nottingham man always refers to me by name, proper gent.

Cant say this is my favourite ad but - does anyone else find the Money Supermarket ad with the men in tight denim shorts and high heels rather creepy. The one at the end with braces and glasses !!!!!!!

Good to know that I am not the only one unhappy with the new format ,used to spend time looking at old pictures of Nottingham with hubby. Takes to long to find topics so lose interest, used to enjoy the gossip, like lizzie need to find new hobby now.

Finally got rid of windows 10 - son put computer back and one very happy silver surfer LOL. He said that if you didn't revert back before having 10 installed after 8 weeks you are stuck with it, also read that a woman in America sued windows for installing without her acceptance messed up her computer and won.

Driving habits
in Owt' Abaaht Nowt !

I passed my driving test xx years ago and I still can not reverse park. Been known to drive around a car park few times looking for parking space I can dive straight in and out. When have to reverse park could be classed as under the influence.
