Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just a couple of very young pups there, Loppy! Nice photograph, lovely memories. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Eureka LL, Lovely photo,so glad you dug it out for us. NBL, You too, All dressed up for the Ball, great memories. Thank you both for sharing. Don't we all look so young, and yet when looking at the photographs it is easy to bring back the feelings we had as the photographer took the snap. In our case it was one of the photographers that used to roam around Skeggy, snapping people and thrusting a ticket in your hand to view the pic and decide to buy or not. We had only known each other for probably a couple of hours meeting the day before, so we were very shy, I do love the memories that the photo brings back of our holiday romance at Skeggy in the summer of 64. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trogg 2,016 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 what have I done wrong ,please help I have just press the little green heart at the bottom of post #481 and it turned red. Red to me means not liked and that is the last thing I meant. I thought it was rather cute and trusting to go to Skeggy after only knowing each other for a few hours . If I have done anything wrong and upset you sorry Carni and I will owe you a cream cake ( large). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 No problem trogg, Lol, I probably made it read as if we had actually gone on holiday together after just meeting. (Shock Horror) In reality, I still lived in Nottm and I was single and on holiday with my friends, one of them was SueB48 who is one of our NS members. On that holiday we met a group of Lads from W-ton, and the beginning of my 'Holiday Romance', started the next day, in the romantic setting of The Ship Bar. Cream Cake gratefully accepted if still on offer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankypig 457 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Oh dear! I have often pressed the heart,I thought it meant Like And I thought if the green arrow was pressed it means you gave a good mark Have I been getting it wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Press the green arrow to show you like the post. It will turn red to show that you have 'liked' it. If you click on the heart it tells you who else liked it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 #478 It's not the size you have to worry about Ben, it's them bloody spurs, play havoc when you doing the hokey cokey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 481. We were a bit like you,Carni. We had been dating for a year, but were not alone in Ireland. Janet's folks were going to Ireland that year. She was not happy about our being apart for a couple of weeks or so. I don't know what she said to them,. but the upshot of it was that I got invited to go as well. No complaints from me. Her folks always treated me like the son they didn't have. Great people! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 477. Great picture NBL. I hadn't noticed the Spurs. Did they issue you a hoss as well? Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I,ve just uploaded some photos to photobucket so will try to put them on here.

Didn't work so I'll try on the lap top 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 That worked so I'll try another one. This is was taken at the same time as the scooter photo! My friend and i were jiving at the amusements in Chapel St Leonards. Was it denshaw who said he remembered a certain nurse at Harlow Wood [sorry if my memory playing tricks] I think this is my friend in the photo... 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 825 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Margie , What terrific pictures! I posted something about a girlfriend I had had at Harlow Wood but it was not your friend. I wish it had been..................... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Pianoman 1,535 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 OK, I don't remember this incident but I just happen to think it is a good picture and it will never happen again. Christmas 1956. My fathers eldest sister, Edna Tyler with her daughter Sue (my cousin) and me aged approx 3 months. 25 Melbourne Road. If Aunt Edna were still alive she would now be 97. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Great photo's everyone. Margie I would love to have been at Chapel when you and your friend were there. I bet you had some laughs, love your little grass skirts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 #490 Sorry Loppy no hoss thank goodness, I love em to bits but every time I get on one I tend to fall off. About the only one I ever managed to stay on was 'King' a feisty heavy horse so the army gave me an 8 cylinder Rolls Royce... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Oh and I forgot in the army my nick name was 'mouth' because of my extremely loud voice on the parade ground and the firing range. I will leave you to guess what was said when someone (SWMBO) leaked this photo to them..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Great photos from y'all. They bring back some great memories of simpler times, don't they? Was it old Harold McMillan that said "You've never had it so good?" Sometimes I think he may have been right. I wonder if any future generation will have it quite so good as it seemed to be for us in the sixties? A time of relative peace. Pretty much full employment with a choice of jobs, and an improving standard of living. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I think you're right Loppy. I suppose every generation thinks their young days were better than their successors but if someone offered me the Crown Jewels, I wouldn't want to be a child now. Thank you, no! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Four generations of our family. Sitting, William Joseph Birch (b.1851), right, his son, our granddad William Joseph (b.1879), left, his son Leslie John (b.1904), and in his arms, his son Dennis (b.1931). The photo was taken in the back yard of 9 Bell Terrace, Cheltenham Street, Old Basford. Cheltenham Street can be seen in the background. The site is now a residential home. The occasion was the wedding of Evelyn Norah, sister of Les, in 1933. In her late life she was a resident in the home. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Wonderful photo, Chulla. Spans a great chunk of history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nostalgic age needn't be photos of people of course. From times on holidays my memories of seeing RMS Queen Mary are still as vivid today as they were then. Saw it many times. In the first photo it is in the Ocean Terminal at Southampton in 1966. (Year before it went to the US). I am on this picture as a 9/10 year old. Here is another picture taken from the beach at Hamble on Southamton Water, probably the day before the picture above. It is actually quite a long way off. This last picture taken in 1965 from the Ocean Terminal is the event I remember most. On this occasion it sailed and my lasting memory here is of the speed at which this enormous ship over 1000 feet long accelerated astern out of there helped only by a few tugs. The photo shows it out in Southampton Water after it has just done its reversing maneuver out of the Ocean Terminal. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
