LizzieM 9,281 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I’ve just watched Bargain Hunt on iPlayer.  The Subbuteo set was bought by a friend of ours who has a very strong interest in football, (he’s Chairman of a Club) but it was my husband who was doing the bidding for him as he didn’t want to be on the telly.  To be honest, Charles Hanson is such a brilliant auctioneer, he works the room so well and you’ve got no chance, you end up with so much unwanted stuff and an empty wallet, just by nodding your head!  It was a fun day out and interesting how they put these tv programmes together.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,531 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 A chap I know in our village, Ian Hall, works part time as a consultant and valuer for Charles Hanson. He also has his own family antiques business on King St. in Southwell. Hall Fine Art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,423 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Phil, ask Ian Hall if he lived in Wollaton as a teenager.  About how old is he? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 5,531 Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I would put him mid 50's. He came here fairly recently from near Bourne in Lincs but he said he was originally from Notts in the Greenwood Rd. Sneinton Dale area. If you view the Hall Fine Art website you will see his photograph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 1,911 Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Just spoke to my brother, who lives in Germany, they have had there first snowfall of the season, and it's bitterly cold. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,766 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 It’s cold here too Mary. Snow on the mountains on the Lombardy side but none on the Piemonte side where we are but it’s still very cold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,911 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hi nonnaB hope you are well apart from the weather. It makes you wonder though if we have a really cold winter and we all have to have our heating on? what will happen? Can you remember the jokes how many elephants can you get in a mini, the new joke will be how many folk will you get in a prison cell who can't afford to pay there electric bill. I do feel it for the younger one's who have a morgatge and a couple of small children I remember what it was like when we had to younsters, we worked all the hours possible just so we live and have a yearly holiday.

nonnaB 4,766 Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 My husband during the summer ordered some pellets. We heat with a pellet stove for hot water and CH Last year for a 25 kg pack we paid €6 now they cost €11. So it was a good move but at least we have enough for at least 2yrs. When they are finished we will have to go back on gas . In that we are lucky because we don’t have city gas we have GPL and the price hasn’t increased as yet but it is economical.At the moment the stove is on only an hour in the morning and evening. Once the house is warm with very thick walls it stays warm until the really cold weather sets in, which I hope won’t be in a hurry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,011 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I've donated to - and bought from - charity shops an increasing amount in recent years. I usually buy something I never knew I wanted or needed. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,219 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Just back from picking Mrs P up from Lincoln, traffic was horrendous took nearly an hour to cover the ten mile trip, we have two bypasses and still the traffic backs up while driving through the city, what next a third bypass? at least the traffic keeps moving in Nottingham albeit a bit slow, never mind back home now for some dinner and a nice cuppa  Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,281 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 @benjamin1945there’ll be some smart geezers walking around Bulwell now then.  Well done.  I take stuff to Cancer Research regularly and do Gift Aid so they write to me every year and tell me how much they’ve made on my donations, it’s very satisfying to know I’m helping the Charity and their customers.  I started donating when my Mum passed away 34 years ago and she’d got some nice clothes, including 3 Aquascutum coats, someone would have got a bargain there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
