Yes, definitely a Miura but if still living it must be on a private plate by now. I did once spot Chick doing a deal on a piece of exotica at Trowel Services. A bit strange I thought - but what do I know about second hand car dealers?

It's when you come to take the plug out that the problems start!

I had an eczema rash on my right ankle for about 4 weeks and it was driving me mad especially at night. I tried E45 cream to no avail. I was recommended Eumovate cream which I got from the pharmacist at Boots. It appeared to work right from the first application on Tuesday; the rash is disappearing and there's no itchiness. It is available on prescription but you can buy it over the counter if you can prove you're of sound mind!

It’s a feast every December to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Originally a pagan festival but stolen by the Christians. (Thou shalt not steal, so they say)

My mum used to send me to the grocer’s for a loaf of bread which he called ‘a policeman’s foot’.

I remember Mr. Grain’s Jag back in the ‘80’s. I parked my own identical model (without a private plate!) behind it when I went to discuss buying shrink wrapping machinery which he made in his factory on High Cross St. at the side of the model shop.

We were so poor that on a Sunday we used to go and visit my rich uncle at the workhouse.

When I was at primary school some of the rich kids had elocution lessons to learn them ow to talk propper. We couldn’t afford those so I just copied the way the posh kids spoke and got elocuted for free!

In many ways 'Nottinghamese' is not so much an accent as a 'lazy' way of speaking. That should spark some controversy!
Both my parents were born in the Meadows and ultimately moved to the Sneinton Dale/Greenwood Road area before marrying. Neither of them had a Nottingham accent. Perhaps living in Woodthorpe cured that!

Apparently the sexiest accent is 'Essex' - so God help us!

The Firs maternity was on Mansfield Rd in Sherwood, just up from Woodthorpe Park. The Childrens’ Hospital was also on Mansfield Rd but set back and was opposite the Forest and cemetery. I had my tonsils removed there many years ago. Like so many similar places I think it’s now a Muslim girl’s boarding school.
