I DON'T disagree with you 'bubblewrap' its just that i have all these books and very seldom read em any more, and i know i'll never part with em.

Rock house is correct,but now there is a Rock court just below off Stockhill lane

On cliff tons map where it says 'lodge' in Barkers wood,that was an old Bulwell stone' building which in the 50s and 60s was used as dressing rooms for the football pitches.

THINGS THAT ANNOY HER. Making casual conversation with complete strangers. speakin Spanish on holday.(when i can't really.) Fumbling with small change at check-outs Telling old jokes,that shes heard a million times. Wearing a Tie when its hot. Watching or listening to the news. Buying too many newspapers Going on holiday without her. the list goes on,whats up with the woman?

SINCE retiring and spending alot more time at home,ive noticed some annoying traits in the wife which in the previous 30 years i had'nt,mind you shes pointed out that even i have one or two.

Must go,ive got a Banana at home going black'........................Norman Clegg when bored with someones conversation,...........i use it often,much to the wifes annoyance.

Thats not the centre of England....

Books of which i have hundreds (mostly factual) are becoming obsolete are'nt they,everything you want to know is on the internet,my books now are more or less ornaments,the Grandkids say get rid' grandad,but i cant do it,even the wife now says it,. It brought it home again with bubblewraps previous post,my 'Little OXFORD dictionary of Quotations' dont need it do i?

Bummed miners...............the mind boggles

I LOVE quotations,...................a good one can say so much,with so few words..............................Benjamin 1945..

Small sorrows speak, great ones are silent...............Seneca

Could have been the big house,corner of Davids lane and Bagnal rd,backing onto Stockhill lane,seem to remember reading it.

BOUGHT my 1st car from Johnsons on Mansfield rd,.........going up on left hand side just before Forest rd,1964.still got reciept £150.

That has a 20s look about it.

GOT FRIENDS IN puckeridge,and ive done alot of work Haverhill.

I SAW that Michael,apart from his obviuos eccentricity he seemed a really nice intelligent bloke.

Phew,here we go again,xd picture cards , fugi md summats ,corrupted computers..................thought you were going for a drive carnie'

Or even earlier,i don't remember it and i go back to early 50s

I was the 'Granville' for 'Marsdens' up and the hills of old Bestwood est ,that also was hard work,and looking back i liken it to life ever since,thats had many ups and downs.

Basford ish then?

Sorry SIDDHA, never had any tools so never needed tool box

Just looked it up on 'google' cliff ton, don't even go there!

All those places are outside the City (i think carlton is) so east side of Forest would be St Andrews churchish,thats not far from Hyson Greenish
