serrie 9 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Serrie here. I've been knocking about this city since 1950, lived everywhere from St Anne's and Radford in the fifties, to Clifton in the sixties, West Bridgford in the seventies, left and came back in the nineties, and settled around Mapperley area. Worked everywhere from a tiny engineering workshop in an ex stable on Union Rd, through Boots Beeston and Station St, Plessy, Raleigh and since coming back in the nineties, various colleges and Universities. It's been a very varied and interesting journey with lots of memories of a city which seems to have changed beyond recognition from the sooty buildings, raincoat and snap bag, bike clips, headscarves and woollen swimming trunks, Armour Star corn beef dinners and chips in newspaper, open or wrapped. Happy to help with gaps in your memories, or personal experiences of places and past trends. Old haunts include The Dungeon, Ad Lib, Beachcomber, Union, Boat, Brit, Flying Horse, Bell, Yates, Playhouse Bar. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

serrie 9 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Wow! I certainly feel welcome here. What a great gang to be in. Cliff, Serrie or Serry comes from Sirrah, which is quite a derogatory term used to hail a man of low birth or reputation, or for a young-un who has not yet made much of himself. In my youth, Serrie or Serreh was a greeting between lads of a certain demeanor. Substitute alreet Serreh, for yo bro, and you'll get the idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
