That pub is just up the road from where we stayed on our visit to the UK recently Phil. Shame about all these old public houses going to rack & ruin. Once gone that's it, we have lost all that was good about the pub enviroment & it is never coming back.

Nah you are wrong Den. I love blueberries & Vanilla yoghurt on mine. As a child I remember we used to have just jam some of the time along with the traditional orange juice & sugar the times we had an orange in the larder.

Hi Limey Bex is one & I am reliably informed Vincent is another ,did the same job as Alka Seltzer I reckon?

I remember all of the above as well as Barley water what was that for ??? & sulphur tablets, again I have no idea what they were for but we chomped them like sweets,they were different colors & tasted like sulphur,what a surprise!

Hi Sis I was just going to post the archived material you sent me today,it was fascinating . I always heard the story but had never seen anything relating to it. I think the members on this site might find it interesting too me duck Vintage Skegness News is where you will find it the year was 1963. The poor man who died tragically in this fire was mine & Smithylass's uncle. He was once a publican in Nottm. Caz

I loved narna & jam sandwiches,& I loved it on Jacobs cream crackers too yummo! I also remember having what Katy calls pobs,though we called it flummity,I absolutely loved the flavour of the crusts in the milk,& you know why it tasted so good don't you,apart from the fact we were starving? it was made with full fat milk not that mazzy watter we all drink now. !hungry!

How about a vat full of good old mushy peas Alison,that's sure to give you some propulsion !faint!

Poor old Britney all that money & fame & nothing better to do with it,if I had the time I would shed a tear..........................not !tony!

And it's till there let me tell you. Just as grubby & dingy as it ever was. There's a retro shop in the arcade,not sure how long it's been there,it's filled to bursting with heaps of old stuff.

Sounds like one for you Mick

You never know what might happen in the big smoke Alison. I have been to Sydney a couple of times but don't know it too well. Are there any other Notts people you know in Steak & Kidney?

Hi Alison I'm in North East Vic luv

A few of the above & Jackie was my fave,full of fashion & pop stars. I also have a couple of Rupert Annuals,one in great condition the other a bit of writing on,wonder how much they are worth ?

Anyone remember Star bars?? they were a fudgy, peanutty & chocolatey,absolutely yummy.

Guess what,bet you can't guess ? It's RAINING!!!!!!!!!................. quite heavily at the moment & as far as I know it wasn't even fore cast,funny thing is the temp has dropped dramatically & it feels quite fresh,mmmmm what a lovely birthday present B)

G'day Tony Where are you living now?

Yeah we had lots of rammel in the bogey ole too Katy. Had to keep it inside because we were too nesh to goo owt in the backyard. My mum always used to say she cud eat a hoss with it's saddle on, mind I never saw her do it

Trouble is Craig we are all so politically correct & anal that we can't see the trees for the forest. I remember that song really well. When in the 60's was it out do you know? There was another song I remember that had risque lyrics too,can't remember it at the moment it's on the tip of my tongue i know Does anyone remember Judge Dredd,boy could he make up a rhyme.............Not !!!

Same here Ayup works well,does anyone use Thunderbird for email?

Sorry for the delay Katy been tied up I left for the same reasons all of us Expats did I suppose a better way oflife for my kids & myself,which we have certainly had living in OZ no argument. My eldest son is back in UK & has been for a lot of years,but at least he has dual citizenship !bravo!

Ayup Rog Where in Lincs do you live me duck?
