katyjay 5,091 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Teenagers dressing warmly in the winter! We stayed in the middle of Nottingham on one of our trips over, [it was December] and walked round the town at night. All the teen girls were in strappy tops etc, and not a coat or cardi to be seen. I guess when you go clubbing, a coat is the last thing you want to be lumbered with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 That reminds me of the recent "Platex" conference where one of the 'Boffins' revealed he had invented a new type of bra , which not only stopped the breasts from wobbling, it also stopped protruding nipples, even in the coldest of weathers. The rest of the conference members took him outside and kicked his head in ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 #35 Exchange Arcade was never of any interest after the demise of Burton's. My dad's all time favourite shop. It was worth going in just for the aromas of so many different exotic spices, products and coffees. My mother always said the smell didn't compare with The Oriental Cafe but I'm too young to remember that. Nice to know there are still some things I'm too young for....as well as my pension! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
