katyjay 5,091 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I'm sure Anne will thank you, Frank, but I will too. The latter pictures are all of my old stomping ground. I got married at Christ Church Cinderhill, and isn't that the Barleycorn in one picture? I don't remember Cinderhill park having a stone wall on Nuthall Rd, is that new? I see it's now called Stockhill Park. Before we got married, our vicar was killed 3 weeks before the ceremony. Thank goodness it wasn't an omen! We're just about to celebrate 39 yrs.

Guest Anne Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Oh Frank..of course I will thank you over and over and over. I know I probably sound OTT...but I am LOL What fantastic photo's of places I never thought I'd ever see again. The best part is nothing seems to have changed. It is almost midnight and I wanted to have a quick look before bedtime...now I am wide awake with tons of memories flooding into my mind. It's wonderful and I can't thank you enough. I too got married at Cinderhill Church... Stockhill Park we always called Cinderhill Park and I spent many hours playing there...I think I knew every single corner there. I'm surprised to see the bowling greens are still there after all these years. Sometimes I went bowling...couldn't play properly...but we had many a laugh. Thanks a million Frank...you're a good un! bighug Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The stone wall is only around the bowling green Kath and it's been there for as long as I can remember. Yes, that is the BarleyCorn - sadly now closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Congrats, Mr & Mrs Frank, and thanks for the images... I can't speak for Nott'm ,but there's no Wendy's /Aberdeen Angus steak house/Popyes Chicken Shack, or even Starbucks over here yet. Theres a Wendy' near Picadilly Circus, which is CR4p! There are Starbucks here though the Frapachino that I had at McArthur Glen was 95% ice, also CR4P. Sadly still no Popeye's here? Ian can you remember us at I Drive Popeye's eating 20 pieces of Chicken + Biscuits ( a bit like a dry dumpling?) Must be a record. When I go to LA. I am a regular at Popeye' North Hollywood Way, Burbank (on the way to Fry's Electronics) 2 pieces for $1.49. YUM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks all Yes it was 22 August 1970 when I said 'I Do' and I can honestly say that I have no regrets. 3 smashing kids who have all done well and 4 wonderful grandkids. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge...li=lmd&z=14&t=m Life is sweet at the mo. If you look closely Den at the top RH side of the fox picture you can just see the words - Home of the Alcazar Brewery. Should be out for a couple in the Poacher Saturday after the Bank Holiday.

Limey 242 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Mick - there is a Starbucks in Nottingham - on Clumber Street! As for Popeyes - around here they are regarded as a down-market KFC! Not good at all! (And impossible to find - same with Church's) Now lets talk about White Castle burgers - the worlds greatest cure for constipation! !hungry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 The greatest cure for constipation used to be 'Shipstones Bitter' "If you feel the bottom has fallen out of your world ,drink 'Shipstones Bitter and let the world fall out of your bottom" Unused advertising campaign cirrca 1977 !rotfl! Scroll back about a page Mick and you will see I was on about Popeyes Chicken Shack , it actually nearly started this thread (I know you were away so I forgive you)LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the contrary, I find Popeye's Jucier & tastier than the Generals. If only that the place is always full of Po'Boys? The worst chicken I ever had was Youve got to be some kind of 'Crazy Chicken' to eat there? Starbucks UK, Never ! nearly 5 quid for a coffee, whose conning who?

mick2me 3,033 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I recommend Fudds, 2/3lb 'The Works' Burger with all you care to eat Salad Buffet. Lots of Jalapino Peppers for me, and a large squirt of hot Jalapino cheese. Oh yes and a large Dr.Pepper (no ice) Ta' Heres the menu...(unlike mcD, it does look like the burger on the menu) http://www.fuddruckers.com/ See Burgers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 You sound like me Mick, when I ask for cold drinks I say 'no ice' and they look at me like I've got a screw loose. But by my reckoning, the drink is ice cold as it comes out the 'gun' and if you put ice in, it waters it down. [plus they put so much ice in, you hardly get any drink] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Exactly, How much of it is ice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Looking at that page , Mick, Mine would have to be a 1lb bacon cheddar (What's +American or +Swiss? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cheeses Ian Sadly my favorite Fudds at Sierra Madre Ca. is closed demolished and now a CVS Phamacy! They used to have a great Classic cruise every Saturday Night. Now the only one is Downtown Burbank. Ian Fudds in orlando is at the Festival Bay Mall at International Drive. Not the same Decor level as LA, There the walls are full of rare pop photographs, gold records and pop memorobelia. You can sit in an Elvis or beatles themed booth.
