Hi Benj, had a nice letter from Baby Doris today. I had told her i had been in contact with you,and she told me lots about Aunty Joan.She said she was always at your Mams house,and when she married Uncle Ben she was one of her Bridemaids. She said when Uncle Ben was made redundant due to the train cuts, Aunty Joan said to her :wheres he going to get a job waving a flag all day; lol. But Baby Doris said Uncle Ben got work on the number 43 and 44 buses and would let her off paying when she got on his bus.

Washing, dolly tubs and mangles
frinton john replied to Michael Booth's topic in General Chat about Nottingham
I Remember the copper boilers in the 50s,and Mam getting the hoover twin tub,which must have been an absolute blessing for her with 11 children. Can remember Mam getting in the washing and sometimes it would be as stiff as a board does that still happen? -

Memories of Broxtowe / Player comprehensive School
frinton john replied to dandares's topic in General Chat about Nottingham
We practically lived in Broxtowe Woods in the 50s and early 60s, building dens,bird nesting,new nutting. Great in winter sledging down the big bank,if you didnt have a sledge an old bit of lino would do. It was particularly good in the winter of 62/63 when the snow stayed around for months -
Yes we used to do that with the black cotton Beefsteak we used to call it Spirit Tapping lol
