DJ360 6,393 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 That stretch of Main Street Ian between Tesco & the Market Place ought to be re-named GERRERRNAAH STREET, the times I hear screaming teenage chav mothers (usually single parents) bawling that at their mis-behaving out of control ADHD infected brats is reaching epidemic proportions, they have usually left Wetherspoons & on the way back to the bus station to get the 79 bus back to Aspleh ! How do you know they're single parents? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,393 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Chaps. I have been to Bulwell many times in the last few years and I don't like what it has turned into. However. Just because a young girl is out and about with a baby in a pram is no indication whatever of whether she is single or not. And chavviness is definitely not restricted to single mums, or any colour of skin. Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,393 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Catfan # 550. I was getting a bit breathless walking up a steep cobbled alley on the way back from our local shops, so I stopped for a moment. A very attractive woman of about 40 ish passing by asked was I OK and could she carry my shopping! I thanked her but declined the offer and she went on her way. It was only as she disappeared round the corner ahead that I realised she was probably tryiing to pull me. Col 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,782 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 On a recent jaunt to Skeg, Mrs Catfan bought a magazine to read on the treat, half way into reading the mag was a page with a few ads in there. BTW the mag was some woman's mag I won't name but been around for generations. One ad was for a certain toy that some women would have ? Mrs C was disgusted ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RGR 218 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Great video of trains in Bulwell,brought back lots of good memories. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,393 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Excellent video. Especially like the earlier bit with shots of a new looking Golden Ball pub. Not so familiar with the later shoots. Is that the Midland line to Bulwell Market? Lots of tanks which I rarely if eer saw on the Great Central. ( According to my increasingly hazy memory.) Col 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
notty ash 347 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Yes, the last few trains were on the Midland line - apart from the Austerity running past on the embankment, which was on the GN line from Bulwell Common towards Bestwood, on the opposite side of the road. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
