LizzieM 8,710 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 No I didn't damn it. We'll be in there before the week's out though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,095 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Good, you tell em. That'll put the fear of God into them. Don't upset them or you'll get duff service in future! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 846 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 #52 If it's anything like the original one in Bramcote you will be in there on a regular basis. Best chippy in Nottingham. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,710 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 We've just had excellent Fish n Chips from Cods Scallops in Carrington. Everything is cooked to order and is certainly a cut above the rest. Can't see rubbish Panchos (just along the road) surviving much longer!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 And yet Pancho's years ago was very good they opened up a second branch on the corner of Chatham st. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,710 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I heard they were good once upon a time, must have been before we moved back to Nottingham because they are really terrible these days, a change of owner but same name I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jem 1 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Does anyone remember the fish and chip shop, run by Mr. and Mrs. Craft,in the 40s and maybe early 50s, at the side of the old canal. Just off the Derby Road. The canal is long gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kj792 21 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Jem, I don,t recall that shop. My Dad had a fish and chip shop at 30 Nuthall Road. Anyone remember that one,would have been early 50,s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don,t recall "Pinketts" His shop was next to the then Post Office, corner of Albert Ave. My Dad also made "crisps" in his shop which he delivered to the local pub,s. I also believe he made the first flavoured crisps. Also a fire broke out in the shop,attended by the local brigade. The story goes that he put on the beer for the guy,s after they put the fire out !!!. I would have been about 10 at the time and went to Whitemoor primary school. How,s your golf going?.

katyjay 4,562 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Pinketts was the newsagents, first shop after crossing Bar Lane going to town. I can't remember where the post office was. Actually, thinking about it, I don't know where the numbers started on Nuthall Rd and I went along there for years. Golf game OK, thanks. Soon be too hot to play here, then we escape for 3 months.

katyjay 4,562 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 You are lucky enough to live near the coast, BK. Lovely area. kj, I did a street view of your old address to see where it was. Totally lost looking at the buildings around there. It has changed so much. Have you looked? Your old shop is flats now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,342 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 I’ve had to come indoors it was so hot. I am wearing a thick sweater and a gillet but still sticking to the maxim of not casting a clout ‘till May be out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's here on Streetview. https://goo.gl/maps/3W41kLkdmJ9RjXAb8 Looks like the Post Office has only recently closed down - or the windows have only recently been boarded up.

Willow wilson 655 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Re the above CT street view: The Post Office was in the premises on the corner (Nuthall Rd/Albert ave) where the black car is parked off road. The PO closed about 15 or more years ago, the red/white shop has had a few uses over the years, the last I remember was a cafe/bap takeaway until a few years ago. That would be kt792's old shop.
