Arnold is Gedling council and Beeston is Broxtowe...........

Forgot all about Flittermans TBI,.......i only recall the Southwell road one.........but i'm sure there were more.............

Don't think Arnold and Beeston are in the City limits Catfan...............

Bulwell is still known as Bulwell Town and sometimes Basford is called Basford Town,..........got me wondering if any other district within Nottm.City boundaries is still refered to in that way..........i can't think of any ?

#72 Margie TELL Paul it was done in Nottingham too,

#58 orphan annie I too have weird dreams most nights,about places I used to live and people I used to know,even though not thought about them for years,.......often wake up and can't for the life of me know which house i'm in,......only lasts a few seconds, very Weird,........luckily not called the wife by another name yet,............that 'Duck' word comes in really handy.....lol.

Yes Stu I remember 'Bullies' I had a 'Golden one'............just the one sadly...........

i know we called the ones with RED' in em we called ;Blood Alleys'..........

Eee Banjo,...........shilling a day and Horse-shit sandwich and only a mint to suck to keep ya warm...........

#45..Hippo.....................sorry you feel that way HG,...............Ive tried to spread mesen as much as possible.......lol.

Been out/courted/engaged with alot of Nottingham Girls/Ladies......but never Married one.......mine so far have been,....Derbys/Derbys/Devon........

Don't know what the ratio is,but Nottingham always had a reputation for beautiful ladies...........working in the North when in my teens i 1st realised this when playing Darts with some locals the score 44 was called two Nottingham ladies.

Welcome Reddog,........hang around on here..........you'll get plenty

Ive been lucky,moved about alot,due to job and Divorces,and have always had neighbours ive got along with,.......sensible folk make allowances for other peoples lifestyle,...........and always found a sense of humour helped,.......its nice where i live now,but would have no 2nd thoughts about moving again if summat took my fancy........like to think even at 70,the Fat Lady is not singing yet........lol.

Chulla don't like mine either Melissa,.......can't help how we look can we gel ?..........i did know it was Mrs catfan,ive had the pleasure.........lol.

Mid 80s my then young teenage lads hated it if we took them in Fords,Bulwell,........street cred and all that.........lol.

Mam and Dad 56 years in their Bestwood estate home,.......always had good caring neighbours......don't think many places have that friendlyness nowadays.

They look ok Melissa,.......and its not bad round there,..........like your new photo with your Sister.............

When travelling i love to stop at one of those American Diners' for breakfeast 'bacon with Pancakes and Maple Syrup',.....theres a couple on the A1.,Coffee not up to much though............no Nesspresso.........lol.

When i lived in Cambs in the 70s,travelling home the first sight of Nottingham i got was from top of that big hill nr Melton mowbary,it always lifted my spirits,then near to Cfifton bridge i could smell Nottingham,smokey still alot of coal fires...........then back in Bestwood and Bulwell the ay-ups started bloody lovely.
