You should be able to edit it, you may have to sign up but it only takes seconds.

Some of the Beckinsales, it may have been Richard, lived at the high road end of Corporation Road Beeston by the bus stop. I used to see him now and again when I was waiting for buses.

Back to Jimmy Saville - he was the first man to beat match two records on different decks, he did have his moments.

These liberties don't like the cold.
I had a load of money plants in pots and left all but one outside last winter. You wouldn't expect a South African succulent to last a British winter, they got covered in snow as well, but all of them did and thrived through the summer. I have plants I still can't get to grow properly in the UK so how can these little devils do it? It does get chilly in parts of SA but not to our standards.

Yes, it was the White Hart.
Quite a few of us ROF apprentices used to go there and the DJ, a black guy called Charlie Brown of all things, was a mate of one of them. It was a proper soul club. Do you remember the stabbings that went on there? It was a rough place I seem to remember.
If someone asked you what car you drove and you said "I have an NSU", like I had, you'd get whisked off to the special clinic
Not an anti-social disease!! -
Glasshouse Street was the place I started proper clubbing at "The Room At The Top", I can't remember the name of the pub it was above though. There was also a clinic for anti-social diseases in Glasshouse Street which I never got to visit.

I'm talking about the 50's/60's so longer than that.

Car radio? You must have been posh!

What I would do in a flash in get rid of all parent & toddler spaces.
Agreed, my old Mum used to say "if they've got the energy to make kids they can bleddy well walk to the shop".
And, how come these spaces are always close to the shop, these mothers are young and fit and healthy, let 'em walk n'all.

I lived in Papplewick for fourteen years or so and only ever ventured to the Lido once and never went near the place again. It had icebergs in it! We had many many more better things to be doing in Papplewick than being flash frozen

Pikelets and pancakes were all seasonal food in our house, who knows why?

Do you remember it when it was a normal white house on the side of the road in the '50's? I remember the home made stuff often had chunks of ice in it which we used to think was pretty special when we were kids, as you do.
Another place in the area for us when we had bike rides was "bunstump" and I see that's now turned in to a restaurant as well that goes by the name of Burnt Stump strangely enough. I went clay pigeon shooting up there a few years ago but there was no restaurant last time I looked.
All my old haunts seem to be restaurants now, what's going on?
