Paddy Wheatfields 4 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Been on a few weeks now. Moved away from Nottm years ago for work, but back every 2 weeks at least for football and family. Would like to move back eventually, but you lose your bottle about moving as you get older. Oh well, 3 out of 4 grandchildren have been born within the sound of Little John. That is quite satisfying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bip 88 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Moved away, just to over the border in Lincs. Nowhere near as good as Nottingham, but they pay me............. Would the job be pulling Carots? I've heard it's dam good pay and the working conditions are great too. Four weeks a year paid holiday. Dental plan and as much veg as you can eat.. Also a shopping voucher worth five pounds to spend at your local farmers market once a fortnight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paddy Wheatfields 4 Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Don't need such as me to pick potaoes these days, they got busloads of em coming in to the area. Not easy to just up-sticks and move when you've got 30-odd years of stuff in your house. Not easy to find a house where you want one either. Also a major thing to do, move from the country back into the city, which is what we are thinking of. oh well, happy new year all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Paddy, I left the UK in 79 with a very large suitecase and a shoulder bag for the sunny climes of Tasmania. I bought me a large station waggon and moved north chasing the sun to NSW. In just a few months in Tassie, my suitecase had swollen! I settled in Wollongong, and of course my packrat instincts swelled my possesions to a large truck load, which I drove over " the hill" to Bathurst in NSW. I married a couple of years later and we decided renting was "for the birds" and bought a house. Jeeze!! where did all those things come from?? Now I live in the country, down in southern Missouri and we'd need a semi to move all our stuff! It's never ending mate...BUT I'd never move back to Nottingham if you offered me a huge house in a patrolled gated community! Plus a million quid! I escaped when Maggie grabbed power!

Bip 88 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 There’s a saying that say’s the rodents leave a sinking ship first and make no mistake this ship is sinking fast. I have a friend a young friend of thirty-two who has just past her Community Police exams, next week she starts a beat around the Sneinton area of Nottingham. I personally do fear for her life.
