Well done Albert..

I knew one of them had to be wrong..

If I have my bearing right the up arrow is the frontage of Pearson Bros and Farmers Piano shops. The alley then runs all the way through to Pearsons loading bay. As a van lad I've run up the steps and through to despatch hundreds of times - don't remember the dog leg though so may be wrong with the location.

The Beeb says 76 yrs old and born in '44. Someone can't do sums!

It would cure something, they could only climb to 18000...

And wan't it just a great job when it was freezing cold and your fingers were cracked and raw from coiling icy ropes...

If you lot are not seeing the problems I've described then it must be something I did, or didn't do. I've just googled 'stop notifications on Facebook'. According to FB support you can't turn off notifications entirely. Being a dinosaur any programme that foists their dross on me is always going in the bin

Ah bless.....

I know the school but never heard the 'four nations' description of the area. You have a very good memory BK. Ask me about any classmates names and I'll struggle to name more than four and they were all in my last year, I have a terrible memory for names.

There's a memory for you, schooners of Australian sherry from Yates Wine Lodge, god that was awful stuff

Probably won't do the neighbours BP much good though and perhaps best not to do it in the middle of Walmart ,,,

Like nonna I find it strange to take tablets for something that results show to be within normal parameters. I've herad of preventative measures but this seems a tablet too far... I have (mostly forget to take) the same tablets for a cholesterol reading that is slightly high. My doc said it's optional, taking them won't make that much difference and changing my diet would be far more effective.

That's her.. thnx as I said I wonder where she is now..

Could well be RR, I though her name was Alice but could be wrong...

Brilliant!!

I remember being quite upset at school after reading a book about the first battle of the Somme. I calculated it there were over 160 killed or injured for every square yard of ground gained... I've not thought of that for sixty years... put quite a damper on my day that has...

lol, not for long if she reads his post about breakfast!

Seriously! Crikey now look what you've started BK they're coming out of the woodwork now! Well done Margie that's very good. So we have painters, musicians, inventors, miniaturists and restorers... I'm feeling a bit like a failure here, not a creative bone in my body. Anyone else got hidden talents?

Hells teeth and I thought a thousand miles a week was pushing, they did more than that in a day - every day!

It's good but it looks like it's drawn on a cloth not chalked on the floor. There was a lass named Alice who used to actually draw on the pavement in Nottingham near St Peters, she was also brilliant... wonder what became of her..

That's nearly a thousand miles a week.!

BK this forum is ostensibly about our memories of Nottingham but it would quickly pall if that was all that was allowed. It has, whether we like the term or not, morphed into a social media site, a localised version of Facebook if you will. Here we can laugh, tease, cry, commiserate and even teach each other something occasionally The spelling, grammar and syntax is not always perfect, the subjects not always interesting but conversely that’s what makes it interesting. Posters post what they like, the pity is some get all mardy arsed when they don’t get the reaction they seem to t

OK..

I'm actually quite good at them, what would you like me to look at?

The Skye Boat song? Clementine? Early one morning?, like that one one, Greensleeves and not a school song but loved it when my Mam sang 'My grandfathers clock' for me
