OrphanAnnie 296 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 #73 - Just remembered Ian there was another one on Radford Road, there was a laundrette close by and I think it was more or less opposite The Cricketers. Which one did you frequent? I used to call the bingo and was working on News Year Day after an all nighter and fell asleep during one game, and fell off my stool! Luckily I was the manager so only got a telling off from myself... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Waitresses here will often call you "hon" or "sweety". Seems to be a Southern thing. I guess I'm just old fasioned. Or was well indoctrinated in the 50s. It just seems we have become too familiar in these days. I even get selling letters from the phone/tv companies. David this and David that. I did not give permission to use my first name. They are not my friends and they don't care about my welfare. Just trying to up their take from me. A general lack of respect marks a step in the decline of civilization. Time will tell. End of growl for today! :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Agree with you loopylugs, I hate being called by my first name by complete strangers, when she was in hospital my dear mum hated being called by her first name especially when it was mispronounced to boot!! I hate having my first name on bills/mail shots for all the world to see, as if we don't already have enough risk of identity theft grrr 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 "Monty" won't be seeing many of his teeth after tomorrow, he had quite a few extracted a few years ago & after a visit to the vet today it looks like the last few may be taken out tomorrow. Took him for a MOT type check up this afternoon & he has a bit of imflamation of his gums, good news was that his blood results show that he is in very good condition for a sixteen year old cat, so he gets a general anesthetic in the morning ! Vet checked him out & apart from his teeth he is in better shape than me ! Called in at Kennelgate on the way home & bought him a new comb thing to look after his coat .................................£24.95p !!! 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Chulla (#62), you may find it hard to believe but happy, loving families do kiss and hug each other. Also, hugging is something that people do in all parts of the World, not just in America. It's a shame you missed out on it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not so much don't see it much anymore as never seen it. After finding a car park in Ely yesterday we looked for somewhere to pay and found this notice. ' Parking here is free. Enjoy your day and tell your friends'. It seemed to apply for the other car parks we saw and certainly seemed to work. They were packed and the town was full of tourists. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Tescos in Bulwell, that's my favourite, and it's free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,473 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 #91 Yes,you got a point,.....just wondering though,are there any other areas in Nottm.city where parking is free ? Depends on how long you want to stay there. There are places where you can legally park for 2 hours free. The one I use a lot is North Sherwood Street; it's 2 mins walk into Vic Centre from there.

benjamin1945 16,166 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yes 2 hours free is good cliff ton espcially that close to Town,..........but what i was saying is in Bulwell its free all day,i can't think of another small town where this is the case.
