Did Sandersons not have a shop on Hyson Green, near Beaconsfield Street. Run by Mrs Ryan ?

On thinking about her she never used to swear if she did anything where others would swear she would say " bally thing" thank you imp for bringing back memories.

When naughty as child my grandmother used to say I was a " little so and so" still no idea what she meant. From the north east so it maybe just a Geordie saying, any ideas.

Dolls houses are my hobby, had one as a child then just forgot about it 4years ago as a joint mothers day present my children gave me a 5 story Edwardian house. Fell in love again now have 9 houses ! Am fortunate in being able to make all soft furnishing and clothes for this very expensive hobby, anyone else as daft as me.

Carni, to go with your metal clips I have the metal curling tongs you used to heat on the gas. Remember my mum used to test them on newspaper if paper burnt they were to hot.

Michael, regarding one of the after effects of your wifes chemo, furry tongue. My mum had same problem and was told to place a slice of pineapple on her tongue, the acidity helps for her it worked maybe worth a try.

My grandmother used to say - he/she been hiding their light under a bushel.
Mums favourite - stop running around like a fanny in a fit (no offence intended) I was born in the north east so have no idea if these odd saying were used elsewhere.

Thank you for help and info, as you say the pub was at the side of Warrens shop. I have read through all the older posts, maybe the Bleachers Arms was a pub people did not want to remember. Hence the lack of pictures.

Carni, it takes a lot to get me out of "lurker land" but your cakes did it, a talent indeed especially the snowman. I was sorry to read of your health problems, hope you well on the road to recovery.

I log in once a day to see if anything new has been added to a topic that interests either hubby or myself.. I am not a Nottingham native (Geordie) but reading about other member memories of their younger days shows that it dosnt matter where your from lots of our memories are the same. I am not a frequent contributor but that does not mean that I am not a frequent visitor. We have a similar type of forum for the north east but the contributors do not intergrate with others. Rambled a bit "sorry" keep chat going.
