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

I’ve just read online that the Nottingham accent has been voted the 34th. sexiest in the U.K! Personally I don’t have have one but for those who do I envy you!

That’s right Compo! My mistake, I used to shop there so I should have known. Where was Hopes then, Trinity Square?

I’ve just been talking to the guys at Sherwood Restorations, our local classic car dealer in Southwell. I often go in for a chat and to kick a few tyres. They’ve got a Sunbeam Alpine in for a complete restoration and they have just sold a fully restored Sunbeam Tiger of 1965 vintage which was advertised at £84,995!

I remember, many years ago, whilst I was out on the Henry Mellish games field in Bulwell they were testing the Rolls Royce engines on the P1 Lightning jet out of Hucknall airfield. The pilot, using the engines’ contrails traced out a magnificent ‘testicular’ design in the sky!

What make is it Rog? Will be from China - but then everything is!

If you’ve got that for £20 then you’ve got real a bargain. I’ve got a similar Stihl setup and it cost considerably more than that!

It might be worth me asking some of the ladies in Newark if they remember you then perhaps they could direct me to the building

A man on a trike with his parts just 4" above the ground asking the ladies of Newark where Marsden's used to be. You're a brave man Rog!

He was probably calling for divine intervention. Dermatology appears to be more of an art than a science.

A wee Scottish boy goes into a cake shop and says to the baker ‘is that a cake in the window or a meringue?’ ‘You’re right’ says the baker, ‘it’s a cake’.

Speak Nottinghamese
in Nottingham Lingo

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!
