Woolite...can you still get it? Which reminds me of a woody Allen film where Gene Wilder drinks woolite because he's in love with a sheep.

broxtowlad. #1 I've had a look,it looks interesting,maybe a few of us could go on the next trip?

It may be nothing to do with what you are looking for but,I used to be a carer for a lady named Helen Marson ,she had one son Tony.Helen died a few years ago aged about 94 .She told me her mother got run over by a horse and cart ,I think on Mansfield road but not sure about this.

Has anyone seen the deliveroo cyclists?the way they weave in and out of traffic is unbelievable,I reckon it won't be long before they cause an accident.

I used to have a jaguar reg GBC (Gedling borough council) wish I never got rid of it ,best car I ever had.

In Carlton precinct there used to be a quicksave supermarket,I loved it,but it closed down ,I wonder what happened to them? The other day I was explaining to my daughter how we used to get 240pennies in a £1,now it's a hundred.I know they were too heavy but I still say we were done.

Compo. #1 I have been putting ash from my wood burner on the garden,I havnt seen many slugs for a while.

Now this is a strange one.My grandad used to say someone smelled like a pummad(not sure of spelling)if they had an unusual smell.,I have never heard anyone else say this .

Chulla. #81 Ugh! I feel sick

In the 70s I worked with a girl who married a bloke who was already married.His wife found out and killed him,I think he was stabbed. Anyone know of this ?

Not sure how to use find my past,I've put my name,email address,and a password in,what do I do now?

On 12th July 1969,went to a concert called '12 hours of happiness' it was on colwick race course.The compere was John Peel.Bands were,status quo,the nice,Edgar broughton band,idle race,juniors eyes,king crimson,I think there were more but I've forgotten.Tickets were 17/6 from the birdcage boutique in Nottingham.

The sherwood rooms! Saw Cliff Bennett and the rebel rousers there,it must have been late sixties/early seventies,fantastic.Saw him a few years ago when he was doing a free concert in the market square,along with a few other bands,he's still got it.

PeverilPeveril#3316 It sounds wonderful.

If someone had a snotty nose and didn't wipe it my mam would say they had candles hanging from their nose.

Cliiff Ton. #18 I think the house or shop behind the man on the right is still there,now painted white and minus it's chimneys. On the other side of the road is what used to be buds paper shop(before the alleyway)then another shop which I think changed hands a few times,at one time it sold bits of furniture ,my mam bought a black leatherette three piece which was trendy at the time....she was paying a bit each week as you did in those days.Well the shop shut and the man dissapeared so she got her three piece without finishing the payments,never found out what happened to the man.

carni. #19 I have my old identity card,the address on it is 49 main street,Carlton.This is now Carlton hill,but the house is long gone.I can't remember living at 49 and always assumed I was born at 114 Carlton hill,now demolished and replaced with flats.So they either changed the name of the road or changed the house numbers,Confused ? I certainly am.i have tried to find a picture of 114 Carlton hill with no luck it was next to the nags head pub in a row of 4houses which stood back . Further to cliftons pic,I think the man standing in the foreground of the tram is opposite st Paul's scho

Why do we have longer lasting low energy light bulbs for the home,but not for cars or motorbikes ect ?

Not one of my parents sayings...but my grandad had this little rhyme...has anyone else heard it? See all,hear all ,say nowt Eat all,sup all,pay nowt

So sad to hear about Lemmy,but at least I saw him and Motörhead twice.

nonnaB. #4 Yes I have made it at home before and it was lovely.When I got the takeaway I was starving and a bit lazy,but I wish I hadn't bothered.

Always makes me feel happy,and think of lovely summer days .....I was made to love her...Stevie Wonder

No it was an Italian restaurant in chapel village.I think it has new management now,it was much better before.

It has to be a carbonara in chapel st Leonard's.It was put in a sealed box for us to take back to the caravan.Well it looked like a pot noodle,awful.We have eaten there before and it's been ok,maybe they use leftovers for take aways.I should have made one myself.,or bought a pot noodle for a quid instead of £16.

My mam used to hide in the pantry with a glass of brandy till the storm was over.
