Yes @lizzieM......Did a couple of stints there as a young Teenager......they had what we called a ''Bacon Window''....and i was kept busy keeping it well displayed............remember teaching a relief Manager how to ''Bone a side of Bacon''.......but what i recall most about that store was the lovely customers and the friendly ''Banter'' they gave me.......today no doubt they would call it ''Harrasment''.....the older women were worst (best)...with their 'Inuendo's'' (sp)...which i couldn't possibly repeat on here....

I was a bit too young to be a real ''Teddy Boy''....but always mixed with the original 'Teds' on Bestwood estate........think they've all passed now.....proper characters..........Lennie...Barry...Ronnie...Jimmy.....Pete...Len...Ray...Col....and many more..........Anyone who frequented the 'Heathfield' and 'Park Tavern''old Basford back in the 60s and 70s will know who i;m talking about........ My self was never a Ted (too young)..or a 'Mod' or even a 'Rocker''....but nicked a bit of all their styles..........still do......

Too true @Oztalgian it hurts just looking at the picture..........

This is very like my lovely Granddaughter.......who dances where ever she is...

Proper boogie shoes wish i still had em

Do you watch Rumpole of the Bailey Jill'? he quotes Shakespeare all the time''' Didn't do much in the way of 'Shakespeare'' at Padstow school......but i do remember our Drama Teacher....who was always reading the works of him'''' He was on the school stage giving the old 'Bard;'' plenty... When he fell from the Stage bounced off the ;Piano'' on to the floor whilst breaking Wind......so funny.. my class of about 35 didnt stop laughing about it for weeks....

Forced mesen out this morning...sunny but very cold....needed one or two bits...........so went into Bulwell for a change........ Whilst i was only in Tesco probably 15 minutes i saw 3 seperat males ''Shoplifting''''''''''' Then whilst getting in my car in their car park...parked only 2 feet in front of me....witnessed a Drug deal.....two cars side by side one passing a small bag to the other......then receiving some notes in return....they like the shoplifters seemed completely unperurbed by my close presence......... Sign of the t

No nicer place than sitting in the Park.......having a moan....and making no sense....

Many Wars there Brew..................but not all at the same time......

It nearly has been lots of times Louis....................

The future doesnt look bright i m afraid..............I worry about it for the sake of my children and Grandchildren and of course other peoples.........through-out my life the world has never been perfect...but even with-out any 'Rose tinted glasses'' it was better than today...........i'm sure there have never been so many 'Wars''......... And as for having a second Personality....reckon we all need one...to escape all the wrongs in the world... ''' Laugh and the world laughs with you.........weep and you weep alone''' Quote from

Slight differences to todays problems OZ.....But only slight..........even though one of my sons is now an Aussie......ive never fancied the country....don't like the accent...the heat...and when i see shots of it on TV......It looks as crowded as England (i know its not)....... If was a lot younger i would definitely leave our not so ''Green and pleasant Land''.........with Spain being my favourite destination.. Mind you i still fancy ''KYLIE''......

I wear shorts only in the summer....for cycling and being on the Garden....would'nt dream of wearing them any other times.....except on the Beach.....If i ever get to Spain again..........
