letsavagoo 963 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Yesterday while in Southwell about 10am, I noticed a lad waiting at the bus stop. I kid you not he was wearing shorts, a tee shirt and flip flops. I was freezing in my heavy coat, hat and gloves. I was going to take a photo but it seemed intrusive. He seemed perfectly happy on his phone. I’ll admit to being nesh but it was freezing. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Even stranger, yesterday in Newark Waitrose I saw a male staff member wearing a kilt. ‘Ah, it’s St. Andrews’s day!’ I said. ‘I don’t think so’ he replied. ‘Well you should know’ I said. ‘I’m not Scottish’ he replied. I shrugged and walked off. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I’ve just seen an advert in The Times today for a house in Nottingham City priced at £1,000,000. Further investigations shows it’s on Burn’s St. If you know the area you wouldn’t want to pay a million to live round there!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 It's that strange phenomena - a really nice, original house in excellent condition, but in an area populated by all manner of dubious people. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/86664183#/?channel=RES_BUY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,140 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 £1,000,000 for a semi! This isn’t Kensington. Potential student flats or a house of ill-repute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 It is a beautiful house though! Don't think it's quite in our budget mind! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not the white bit to the right on Burns St, that's the other bit that it's semi with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I kid you not he was wearing shorts, a tee shirt and flip flops. We went into Nottingham City Centre on a very cold Wednesday night this week and witnessed youngsters dressed in a similar way …… one lad running around in just a pair of short shorts and no top. The town was full of very noisy students, out celebrating the approaching end of term, so raucous that it would have frightened many older citizens of a more feeble disposition. Mind you, it reminded me of my youth, but I did wear a ‘coney fur’ coat over my hot pants! In recent years when we had Wednesday evening meet-ups in town it was normal to see hundreds of students off partying at the clubs. Chulla loved watching them, bless him! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
