We took our lad there once so he could watch the banger racing. The thing I recall most was the car parking. There was no lines or organised runs, it was one car behind another till the feild was full. One big mass of cars. When the event finished I had absolutely no idea where my car was, so had to wait until nearly every bugger had gone home before I could get to my car. Good job our son had his wheelchair to sit on.

Should I send my begging letter now ?

Talking of Christmas past, I vividly remember when I was a lad I worked at a butchers on Ilkeston road, from the age of 11 to 14, ( when we moved to Kennington road). At the run up to Christmas the butchèr took orders for chickens and then a week or so before the 25th, we got the delivery of the birds, which seemed to me to be hundreds and then after school I would nip home , get my tea and back to the shop to start 'dressing' the chickens', ie, feet off heads off and then the dubious delight of gutting the birds. One of my jobs was to sort out the entails and separate the heart, liver, gizza

Just checked and my payment was made on thursday 30th. 'Er indoors paid on the same day. Can buy some petrol now to come up to Nottingham in 11 days.

And here's me thinking I'd buy it to keep me coal in.

Been munching em since September.

@MRS B, enjoy your break and remember to bring me back summat nice and not common.x

MrsB, it sounds like your'e the same age as my sister in law. Did you attend Manning school by any chance?

Alright little miss, don't milk it. Like CT says, your'e still one of the youngest.

But she's old enough to be my little sister.

Never mind Mrs Buttercup, you meant well. We still luv ya.x

To My Friend Jill. xx

Trogg, let me be the first to wish you 'Happy Easter'!

That's true Phil., but I've got meself a nice little inflatable to cross the Trent though Depends if the Notts border patrol are watching.

Can someone tell me. Are you notified when a payment is made, or does it just appear in your account unannounced?

Listen to the words of the song "Dashing away with a smoothing iron". Twas on a Monday morning, when I beheld my darlin' etc.

Probably gone to the same place as mine Trogg. Anywhere but here !

That's a great second link Siddha. Just had a flip through and listened to all the different dialects. Took me raight back to when Ah were a lad. Thank you !

Notts County captain, Gerry Carver came to our wedding as a guest, way back in 1965. That's my total knowledge of football. edit..Just had a look on t'internet. Well done Seagulls.

Sorry I asked !

So how did the Forest v Brighton and Hove match go? What was the result?

Got to be honest, but I've never heard of mixed classes in senior school. At Radford blvd., we were two seperate schools with our own access. Boys entrance was on Salibury street and the girls and infants was on Ilkeston road, where the 39 bus stop was. Ours was just a gate and steps up to the playground. Now, on Google it's shown as a car ramp.

@MRS B, does that mean the coffees are on you, when you visit?

@mary1947, I think I might have to send you a canvas print of one of my paintings. Signed of course.
