If you like going back in time have a look at the 'gifts' at Lakeland. See link below for a record player storage tin. http://www.lakeland.co.uk/44956/Record-Player-Storage-Tin

I had a message left on my answering machine selling a service for cleaning ovens,

Welcome Wooliesgirl I'm sure you will enjoy the info and friendliness on the site.

Welcome to Nottsalgia Summer

Jill wasn't that the corner of Ilkeston Road and Radford Boulevard?

I remember before I had a 45 record player my parents had an old 78 radiogram and apart from their 'old' records I used to buy up-to-date copies of new records on Embassy 78's from Woolworths

Yes you're right Jill they were on the corner of Maid Marion Way and Friar Lane. I think next door to them was a hi-fi shop.

Welcome to Nottsalgia deebird. I'm sure you'll find lots of items that will interest you together with new friends,

Oh you've made me wonder now!

I remember when I was at FFGS if the PE. teacher (can't remember his name) couldn't see over your head you didn't have to wear a cap and He couldn't see over mine so no cap for me! Just thought his name was Gibson.

Yes certainly Nottingham Road. I used to work at the building on the left which belonged to Courtaulds housing Walker Reid, Luvisca and Chaffinch clothing wholesalers

This morning on BBC 1's Breakfast show the male presenter said "See you in a sec".

The bank at the corner of Beech Avenue was a Westminster.

The No 37 used to turn round at Nottingham Road/Haydn Road junction

If you look in the Oxford Dictionary of English Chulla, each of those three hyphenated words you have mentioned are listed as two words.

The standard of the BBC English has deteriorated over the years not just with the pronunciation but also the phrases that they use. The local weather presenters on the BBC really use some strange phrases especially from the male one.

#4 Yes I agree with your "houses" at FFGS and I was in Rufford too!

There's a programme on BBC 1 tonight at 9.30pm looking back at his life.
