Funny you should say that Gem,been working all day today in a VERY VERY expensive clothes shop and saw individual customers paying over £1000 in cash for clothes,and many were Chinese. i also was VERY expensive.

Patience is a virtue,possess it if you can...............its seldom found in a woman............and never in a man.

IF you have a sense of humour you will always find...............something to amuse you when the world has proved unkind. Patience Strong.

Naughty..?

Shush bubblewrap,..........just waiting for David to smack that bloke,..............not that i watch corrie

Shirt,Ray Winstones book,lots of smellies,and the pleasure of family,..............and oh yes 6 likes on nottstalgia....

Before the family invasion,thought i'd give my thanks to Mick and his team for this very addictive site,when i joined back in Feb. I was going thru a very low time.,having treatment for nasty illness and in the middle of selling house having just retired,however since joining my life has turned around,on top of illness and house move completed.,and back working doing what i enjoy. I have a great supportive family and consider the forum members an extension of that,most of all ilove the banter,on the occasions when some of the topics got a little fractious people like

Having a 'BAILEYS' Good health to you all.

Thats what i thought Lizzie

Knew a Roger and Kath Oldknow,they kept a 'Cattery' nr Awsworth.

Flogged on the BOGS,.......nice one.

Anyway all my 'Cyber friends' have a lovely xmas,especialy to those who are alone,remember you're not really' benjamin 1945.

Mixing threads,..........rough neighbourhoods and this one,.........when i was about 5 a real hard lad who was considered a bad lad as well was babysitting me on xmas eve,and he showed me the night sky and a line of Stars which he explained were Santas sleigh and his Reindeers, Not really a bad lad was he,

Nice one catfan,

Used to watch coronation st,you could catch up even if you had'nt seen it for a few weeks/months,........not now,takes a while to realise wether your watching Emmerdale,East enders or Corrie,and all such dislikeable characters,........just shows how much the countries regions have become the same,....or is it just me?

Southglade est bamber,do you mean Bestwood est ? Southglade rd is on Bestwood est.

Please do Robbie,.......i am sure i'll know em,........would'nt be surprised to know you!!!

Yes Robbie,knew stan very well,.........without going into detail we share Grandchildren,.....a very hard man,.......real character.

I'm sure theres still a couple Robbie,.......but doubt they still cause trouble.

Thinking of the families of those poor people who lost their lives in Glasgow yesterday....RIP.

Just checked my 'Note books' from the 90s,and as a rough rule of thumb the five 5 most troublesome areas in Nottm were, Stelley,Broxtowe,Aspley,Carlton rd, and( if counted as Nottingham) Long Eaton.

Is it the one at the corner of Fulforth st ?

Back in them days 'bubblewrap' you had to be hard to survive,

From my days as a 'Store Detective' in Nottingham catfan,Aspley was high on the list.lol.

Growing up on the 'Old Bestwood Est' none of us had much,and i don't recall any crime,in fact i loved it.
