Hi Can anyone remember where Browns Subway was please? Thanks

Agree with the end scenes of Railway Children and Coming Home, filling up just thinking about them! Love the scene in Die Hard 2 (I think) where John (Bruce Willis) takes a fax from a female airport staff person behind a desk. She is flirting with him and he shows her his wedding ring, twiddling it on his finger, and says "just the fax ma'am, just the fax". A play on words from the phrase "just the facts ma'am" often said by the police. Like the scene in Total Recall when the Arnie character is disguised as a woman at an airport or something similar and his speech goes all funny and his face

Hi I am looking for my old friend Debbie from Bilborough. She worked as a Saturday girl at Woolworths in Clifton roughly 1974 when she was about 14. It was unusual to have a Saturday job so far from where you lived but I think it was because a of hers worked at the Clifton branch full time and she used to travel with her. Debbie and I had lots of great times and nights out when we were around 14-16. Unfortunately with my failing memory I can't remember her surname. I think she might have got a job at Bell Fruit when she left school. Does any of this ring any bells with anyone!

I know but there can't be many 14 year old girls that lived in Bilborough but had a Saturday job in Clifton!

Unfortunately I can't remember. It might have began with a C. A neighbour of hers worked at Clifton full time and they used to travel together on the Saturday. Debs and I were both 14 I think and it would have been about 1973.

Yes I think it was Boogaloo that I was thinking of as it suddenly popped into my head! Thanks

Hi Did anyone work at Clifton Woolies in the early or mid 70s? I am trying to trace my old friend Debs/Debbie who lived in Bilborough but worked as a Saturday girl with me there.

Hi, thanks for the replies. It could have been Roxanne but its not really jumping out at me. Does anyone remember a shop called Boogaloo? Not sure where it was. WG

Hi I visited a charity shop in Hockley the other day and when I went downstairs I got serious dejvu! Think it used to be a trendy girls boutique in 1970s. Not Ice Nine, although I would be interested to be reminded what that used to be too. It was a smaller shop on one of the other corners on the same side as Ice Nine. Anyone remember either shop in the 70s? WG

Hi all Just joined. Will post a few questions soon
