YOU'RE a 'Cheeky Git' as well catfan,.............................but probably correct.

i STILL HAVE a couple of 'Silk hankerchiefs' and wear them when on certain jobs,thinking i look the 'Dogs',but was recently brought back to reality by a bunch of mature ladies,who amid much laughter,told me i looked like 'Mad Frankie Fraser',all my G.Clooney illusions were well shattered, 'cheeky gits'

It still is 'Bomber' ,been in this morning wet and miserable weather but Bulwell very busy, car parks mostly full,shops all busy,market thriving,Church group setting up under a canvass with musical instruments,whilst a blind lady was giving Oration about the meaning of 'Easter' looked on by a crowd of about 50,plus lots of 'ey ups' from old friends...........Made me happy anyway.

And from me Michael

Thank the Lord,lol.

Yes Ian,an old collegue of mine owned it at one time Dennis James.,i also often did work at the Co-op across the road.

Don't know the names you mention Robbie,i did Co-ops in the 90s and early 2,ooos,then again i would'nt remember names because we'd do a blitz on them for a couple of days,then perhaps not go back for 6 months,............loved working Co-ops great times and people,worked VG stores nationally in the 70s also good times with lots of happy people,if you read this Margie,used to stay at the Lamb in Ely when doing VG Stores,the one i recall was at Sutton owned by a mr Painter.

As if we would Margie,

Got two weeks no work,so start work on me new Garden tomorrow in ERNEST......................wish it was in NOTTS.

Yes,...........i drive the wife mad.

Great news CARNIE,...........mind you 11st 2lb is alot. lol

A bit like me mate...............always chasing the 'Rainbow' lol.

I ALSO worked for the Coop in Bingham,R.O.T, Cotgrave and Bottesford.............in fact every Coop in Notts.

Thats right FLY2,forgot about Bingham,that also was a VG store,...i used to work for the VG set up,thats how i knew John Beaumont.

AH but Graham every afternoon they cheer us up with ADS telling us what to do with us money afore we pop us cloggs,one even offers a free pen, as Del-boy would say,.................'.bladdy need that don't we,cheeky mares' Plus ads for 'step in baths' ......Chairs that stand you up,.......who to contact to make a will.........etc,etc, Really warms the 'cockles of your heart' don't it.

There used to be Trams, not going quick, Gotcha from place to place, Now theres just jams half a mile fick, Fings ain't wot they used to be,...........Max Bygraves and Billy Cotton.

sainsburys was a VG store in the 70s,owned by John Beaumont,who also had a store in Cotgrave,i think John was originally a Farmer in Cotgrave,i remember playing Cricket against him 60s/70s.

Apart from their 'HIGH HEELS'

Michael......................you did like it, Lizzie.........................you're not sorry. lol.

Thanks Lizzie,your use of the word 'occurring' has made me realise my spelling gets no better,........IE my topic 'Whats occuring'....'B.gger'

#132 blondie I REMEMBER my 15th birthday Party,March 1960,last one before leaving school (and blonde your old friend Frank Smith was there) anyway me Mam and Dad went out and said i could have a Party,about 20 school mates attended about 15 of em girls,and yes blonde most were wearing your 3inch high heels,made a right mess of Mams new lino, Dancing to the likes of 'Running Bear',

Some great posts following Darkazanas and FLY2s,quite a 'Soppy lot' really ain't we,lol.but i draw the line at a group hug Margie,i reckon the 'forum' is more harminous now despite varying tastes,we all have different fav.topics i enjoy most not all,but most of all i love them interlaced with humour,i even reckon FLY2 almost accepts GC and Tie wearing (almost lol). Anyway great stuff folks,see ya later.

Thinking bout you meduck,

Its where the 'Brummy bloke worked' as a 'Cornsitere'

I MUST start listening to more music,in the car i'm permantently tuned in to radio 4,but when i switched on at 5am this morning the wife went out last night and it was still on a music channel,and i got 'Light my fire' by Lulu followed by 'when will i see you again' by the 'three degrees',great songs which put me in a great mood,even that early.
