I do like a traditional steak and kidney pie though! La Bucca was my restaurant of choice on a Saturday night all those years ago! Yes I knew you were kidding and so do I like a steak and kidney pie . My daughter made a Guinness and steak pie. When she first put out her takeaway menu she thought very few would choose it because of the reputation Italians have of British cooking. If anyone says that to me I tell "them it depends where you go. If you go to a greasy cafe you can expect bad food. Choose your restaurants and snack bars well." Anyway she's had loads of compliments so it may have persuaded them to think again. To night we are have Cornish pasties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No more inter-actions with each other...or even friendly hello's...it'll be a sad old world... By then everyone will be talking to each other only via phones and texts and forums. Buying something - any item - will increasingly be an impersonal activity. The only personal contact you'll have will be with the van driver who bings it to your door.

Stavertongirl 1,723 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Just walked Kai round the block today, he’s not impressed with the snow it won’t make proper snowballs they just disintegrate when thrown. Obviously the “wrong” kind of snow. It was quite entertaining watching the cars on the side roads, the back ends were all over the place made sure we kept our distance. Cars still having a bit of difficulty getting up the hill in front of my house, luckily there are council workmen at the top doing something or other where it is steep who have helped out a bit.

Jill Sparrow 10,381 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Must have been lucky yesterday as no snow here but snowed heavily less than one mile away. I also heard that Bulwell and surrounding areas were heavily covered. It was too cold here. I did see a couple of tiny flakes mid afternoon but no more than that.

philmayfield 6,232 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 We’re almost in the south here. Just half a mile north of the Trent so we don’t get the bad weather that you lot get up north! I’m looking at the palm trees gently waving in the light breeze as the sun beats down.

We had quite a lot a mile out of the city centre but a friend in Mansfield (where it’s always colder than Nottingham and more likely to snow) didn’t get any. A friend in Sutton-in-Ashfield did though. Friends in Farnsfield and Oxton did not get any. Just been out for a walk and it’s getting a bit slushy and could be a bit dodgy getting around tomorrow as we’ll be below freezing overnight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,521 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 There seems to have been a lot in the east (Gedling/Sherwood etc) and south of the river around West Bridgford and beyond. It's the most I've seen for several years, although at the moment it's thawing rapidly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 497 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Philmayfield are you within reach of Netherfield retail park, it may have been this for the Air Ambulance. If you're further out, maybe they were hanging around in case needed https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/air-ambulance-called-victoria-retail-4771898?int_source=taboola&int_medium=display&int_campaign=organic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
