If you were lucky enough to have a job and a few Pennies....the 20s would have been a great time to be around............ Loved the ladies styles of dress...loved the music but to have bumped into a Dorothy on the dance floor..would have been a bit special.........

This could have been one night at the 'Locarno''..back in 1960..Teenbeat for 14 to 16 year olds. .........................................Eu up Mavis............on yer own ? Might be........(chewing her 'Beachnut) Still gewing out with Big Ron ? Might be...you still with Sandra ? No...aint seen her since she started work... Where she work? ''Stumps on Haydn road..meking Cricket Bats.......... ''Ha Ha funny....yo do think ya funny don't ya....... '' Only like to see ya lovely smile Mavis....... Oooh wer....yo really fancy yersen don't ya..... No

Can't beat a bit of ''Doot'n do doo'' Love how there's a song for nearly every girl's name.... Still see 'Angela' now and again in Bulwell.......still a looker.. ''Doot'n doo do'

Lovely lady in the Passenger seat........wearing 'Thigh Boots and Mini Skirt''...........

Also agree Lizzie..........although i must admit i've been impressed with the skills these ladies have shown at Football and Cricket.........but it just doesn't grab my interest.........mind you the mens games don't nowadays.......

No you wouldn't have Jill............i'd stopped wearing the ''Liberty Bodice''

They were in fashion back in 1964..Ube.......those were the days my friend.....

Got stood up in the Porchester..one night back in about 64............bad night all round......left me Blue cord jacket as well......loved that jacket.......always wore it with collar turned up....slim Jim Tie.....light blue Jeans....Black Cuban healed treads......and white socks...............WHAT do ya mean..no wonder she stood you up?...........

Sat with my Cats and Coffee the Sun is shining......and i'm listening to a lovely song.......... Have a good day Y'all.........miss Loppy.........

Beautiful morning....feeling good......love to have had a Dance with the lovely 'Whitney'' Perhaps next time round 'Hey Girl' ?

Ey up Lexie....where did your Mama live ?...In her school days ?

Same here Mary/Jill..........both hands very painful especially in the base of the 'Thumb'.......can't shake hands to painful.....keep putting off contacting Doctor.....if you can get in that is........... Great stuff this getting older ain't it............

Thought ey-up''....bit quiet again on 'Nottstalgia...........so must be time for 'Polly Brown'' and ''Pickettywitch''.............fell in love with 'Polly'' after seeing her live in my Birmingham days...70ish..........love to do it all again...''just one more time'' think i took 'Margaret 'from 'Alum Rock' to see them in Tamworth...but then again could have been 'Gwyneth'' from Chelmsley wood''.........don't matter both nearly as lovely as ''Polly''...........happy days....

All this arguing and falling out over a game of football........lets just say.......''Well done Italy''..........and join them for a ''MAMBO'' in fact a 'Mambo Italiano''............
