I have a jukebox to sell (almost give away) £50 .it needs fixing but it was working till I moved it 2weeks ago.it is a nsm festival.I am sure someone could tinker with it and bring it back to life.,but I don't have a clue about these things.it will not come with any records.it will need two strong men with a van ,it is heavy.
Check on eBay they are not cheap even if not working.

When I was a kid we lived next to a family who had a son called Bernard,I think that's pretty rare nowadays.

I used to really fancy one of the big houses there but went off the idea when travelling to work when I worked nights as a carer,saw all the prostitutes strolling along looking at every car that passed in case anyone wanted 'business'

I used to be a carer for a lady called Dorothea,I think that's a nice name,and I've never met anyone else with this name.

Marks and spencer used to have cardigans and jumpers folded nicely on a wooden counter,if you fancied one they would look in a drawer for your size.So much nicer,I think and they don't all get mucky and out of shape like they do on hangers.A lot of shops were like this .Now some of them resemble jumble sales,stuff on the floor,make up on the clothes,bring back the old ways ,some of us would like that.
P.S, went in marks the other week and walked by a trolley with reduced bakery items in,saw a woman opening the bags of buns/cobs and handling them then putting them back in the bags.yuk.You wouldn't have seen that in an old shop where you had to ask for what you wanted (like open all hours)

Not sure if the spellings correct,did anyone buy anything from here,I think it was on clumber street,.Anyway I saved for ages and bought a fur coat from there,wouldn't be allowed to wear it now though,my god it was so warm.I wonder how many of you have one lurking at the back of the wardrobe.

Even though I live on a main road,I get up in the morning ,look out of the window and see people on the way to work,I look across the field and see trains and green fields.On the back garden ,the birds are singing,often see squirrels and other wildlife,even have a badger visiting at night.If I want to go into town it's not too far away.If I left I know I would regret it.Wonderful Nottingham.
