FLY2 10,108 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Anyway, let's get back to the original post. Wollaton nowadays definitely isn't the quiet, select, and pleasant place it was previously. It's been over developed, over populated, and is now over rated. I left in the mid 80's, and I could see the direction it was heading even then ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's all that about? I don't understand that either but it's not compulsory to walk around with it. We do the shop grab a FREE coffee and paper then sit and relax and enjoy it in the cafe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds a lot more civilised than the local Lidl where for some reason shoppers think it perfectly OK to open boxes, look at the contents and then just walk away and leave them lying around.

Guilty as charged your honor, but I have to defend the sunglasses on head at night, I often leave the house in my Ray Bans around 2pm & if your still out at 10/11pm where do you put them?
