What is happening to the world? A moment of silence for Istanbul. On a lighter note post #2 from Ashley is comedy gold sometimes missed on here?

There really is no excuse to dress scruffily these days at all. Most High Streets have a Charity Shop or two (Bulwell, eight at the last count) some great bargains to be had. I've bought M&S cotton shirts brand new with labels still attached for the princely sum of £2. Mrs Catfan has a Laura Ashley frock (new) £4 ! A frock by "Monsoon" £5 ! (I once bought her a "Monsoon" frock from the "Monsoon" shop in Nottingham" for £85.) You don't need mega bucks to dress smartly these days.

I know I had originally said Cornwall, and whilst I still love the place it's proved too expensive for us, so our house came off the market and we resigned our selves to staying here a while longer. I was chatting with my neurologist and telling her I was off to Tenerife for a break shortly, she has suggested it would be better for my condition to move somewhere warm. I jokingly mentioned it to SWMBO and she immediately got the ball rolling, no kidding, straight home and on the internet ! We have agreed on the Costa Del Azahar, (The Orange Blossom Coast, and it truly is!) It's between the C

I don't think that making this a 'European' issue is particularly relevant. Mike Ashley and his ilk would be treating people like shit regardless of whether we were in the EU or not. Zero-hour contracts, paying below the minimum wage, searching employees before they go home. All symptomatic of contempt for both customers and staff. They think that wealth excludes them from morality and simple common decency.

You dont often see Mike Ashley and integrity in the same sentence very often. I wonder if it was something to do with him having to go to parliament or to jail? Tough choice fat Mike.

Most unusual reg I saw was on a Rolls Royce at the cattle market, just one number, I think it was 8, had a look at the tax disc and that too said 8 so no joke or whatever, I always fancied a private no. plate but so expensive, it's far cheaper to change your name by deed poll, Ashley YV06CYA

Still trying to locate a copy of your book on Bulwell & Basford railways Ashley, but no luck. Can you remember the exact title?
-
#13 Oh yes Carni please do that. I have so many brilliant memories "down the Keller," As mentioned above, Chris Ashley (the mouth) but underneath that exterior a great bloke, Karl, just the perfect "showman", and the rest of the crew. Great times never to be repeated.

A slight assault on the ears by the boys, featuring Chris (The Mouth) Ashley.

Ashley re#156. I wonder if you are talking about my cousins. I had an aunt and uncle who had a chippy on Berridge Rd, they had 2 sons Billy and Jimmy Whitlam. -
Thanks guys, that's the one. But I still can't track down Ken Smith who used to live there in the 1980s. I was given one location that he may be at, from what Ashley said a while back. But unfortunately I've not been able to find Ken yet.. Although I will pop back over to the residential home this week and ask one of the wardens, as the people who live there don't know of any Ken Smith's living there. I know that the flat above the cafe, was his last known address in 1985. But all I have is this info, Ken Smith 1+3 Bentinck Road (Then he's gone over the D, with a B or vice versa)?. Radfo

Your right Ashley Durnford Street was of Zulu Road. That chip shop was as quoted Egypt Road Ekowe St. The camera man has his back to Nottinham Road and is facing downhill toward Radford Road. Welcome Merlin but I think your mixing up some road names. Not Eland Rd but Eland St and I think you are on Zulu Rd not Egypt Road. The cobblers on the corner in a dark brown wooden shed was actually on the corner of Zulu Rd and Pearson St. As you say on the corner of Zulu Rd and Eland St was a phone box, do you remember the red and white soft top parked the that belonged to the barber who's shop was j -
Hang in there Ashley. Get yourself well.... and keep yourself mobile !

Ashley, don't forget to let me know the title of your book on the railways of Bulwell and Basford. I looked in Bulwell library ages ago to no avail.
-
You've had a tough time, Ashley but you're coming through it with your sense of humour intact. I wish you well.

Sorry about your mis-fortunes Ashley always enjoyed your Posts..........things can only get better mate...............

Welcome back Ashley, hope you are soon back to normal and fighting fit. You have had a rough time of it.
-
Sorry to hear that you've had a rough time in recent years Ashley, I thought you'd just gone off us. Get posting regularly again and take it easy on that new bike.
-
By the way Ashley, I tried to PM you to tell you I'd moved this post, but I got a message saying "Ashley is unable to receive messages". You might need to delete a few old PMs to make some space.
-
At least you've still got your sense of humour Ashley. Don't ever lose that. Hopefully everything is ok in RoT.
-
Ashley, so sorry to hear what you've been through over the last few years but pleased to see that you are coping and fighting back. I really do wish you all the best. Keep on keeping on mate.
-
Well done Ashley, keep battling on mate.
-
Ashley, you certainly have had a tough time over the last few years. Very sorry to read that your wife passed away. We wish you well for the future and congratulations on your 70th year.
