I think the phone calls I am getting are from other countries,they sound as if they are in a call centre. You can hear background noises,and they always have a foreign accent.

I must admit I don't clean mine too often,when I was at school we were shown how to clean them properly.My dad used to have his shoes cleaned by people you used to see doing shoe cleaning with their own little stands,mostly seaside places.

Has anyone else had this phone call?3times this past fortnight I've had the same one,it goes like this... Caller....hello mrs .......,you live at.........your postcode is.....you had mortgage many years back......you are aged between 20-74.... Me,yes...yes...yes....yes until the last one when I lied and said no,they then put the phone down on me.Whats behind this call I wonder.How do they know my details?

I was working the nightshift in a care home,just two of us on duty nobody else wanted to do it,we did get double time though.

What pees me off is (this is very common on woodborough rd) As a bus pulls into a stop,you have no chance to overtake it as its always too close to bollards,but you only have to wait about 1minute.Then some idiot behind you overtakes on the wrong side of the road! Hooting as they go,are they all on something?

Plant fit 107874,Ok,I know we are supposed to be talking notts,but they have one of those petrol filling stations where the pipes swing over the footpath at wainfleet,on the way to Skegness ,first time I've seen one,I reckon it was still in use about 3years ago,

Sunshine of your love........Cream Bend over Beethoven......Wizzard Oh well........Fleetwood Mac

Poohbear,mine is just the same,I just think its the way things are now.

Instead of trailing wires on electric items,why not have the socket on the item ,and have pull out cables with a plug on that you pull out from the wall ,and just plug in to the appliance,when finished it just winds back into the wall,sort of in reverse to what we have now,if you get what I mean?

My late grandparents used to live at prospect place.Not sure if it could have been in the house that is now for sale,all I know is they lived in 'rooms',that's what they called it years ago,not apartments as they do now.They later moved to a 'new' house one of which were being built on farnborogh road clifton.

Chulla,I have won one for ...wait for it...50p It's on VHS but I still have a video player so if I want I can make a copy onto a DVD,done this loads of times and it works fine.I never buy from America,got done years ago ,very dear postage on some headphones,never again.Cant wait for film to arrive.

Clifton?

I worked in a clothing factory ,it used to close down last week in July ,first week in August ,you had your holidays then same as everyone else who worked there.

The labels are worth more than the cheaply made garments that they are on

My granny used to say 'a farts a message from the brain,to say that sh#t is on the next train'

Also remember mam collected green shield stamps,I think you could choose a gift from a booklet?we had loads of the books full of the stamps.

But what did the shopper gain ? Gifts? Money ?

My mam drilled it into me. 89339

I used to go to this youth club with my friend,we were about 14 at the time,I think they had a jukebox? I can remember a lady who used to be 'on the door' to check who was going in.She used to talk to us girls about behaving ourselves and not to 'get up to mischief' with boys.I remember 2 older lads who used to hang about outside,showing off because they had a car.my friend and I were at Carlton girls school at the time.

Anyone been to this cafe yet? I read that you had to book!

When I lived with me parents on Carlton hill we had a row of 4 toilets for our houses,they were a good way from the house,if it was dark it was very scarey going to the loo ,no lights,sometimes there would be a drunken bloke lying in the passage (he was from next door)you nearly fell over him sometimes.Later on we all had toilets put in our back gardens ,but still no lights,my dad put a parrafin heater in ours cos it was always freezing up.We had to have a peepot at night,it was too scary to go outside.
