Fan of Big Tone

I haven’t seen all the video but I get the jist, indeed shopping in actual shops seems to be a dying thing nowadays, even I’m guilty of buying stuff online at Amazon etc., and getting groceries delivered by Tesco. As a boy I used to go with my mam to Victoria Centre and get fresh veg, meat and fish from the market, if I’d been good mam would buy me an apple or banana. I also remember our local beer off, for youngsters who don’t know what a beer off is, it’s a shop that would sell normal groceries but also licensed to sell beer and liquor for consumption off the premises, our corner shop even had a hand pump, my dad used to take a jug and the shopkeeper would fill it with beer for him to take home. Other shops I remember are MFI which was a shop that sold flat pack furniture (similar to IKEA), the big coop store on Parliament street sold everything, they had lifts to different floors with a lift operator who would ask you which floor and push the button for you, Woolworths of course was a favourite, especially the sweet counter, Redmayne and Todd’s was on the corner of canal street and Carrington Street and sold Sports equipment, our street had a sweet shop run by a dear old lady called Mrs. Wright, she lived in the back room and would come into the shop when someone opened the door which rang a bell, we used to beg a penny off our parents and get a penny mix of sweets. There was a shop that sold school uniforms of all the Nottingham Schools and jackets with the school badge on, I think it was called Price and Beale, it was the only place you could get school uniforms in those days. When I grew up I had to get a suit and my dad took me to Burtons Tailors shop where was measured and got a suit for an interview, I paid with an account into which I paid 5 shilling a week (25p in todays money). I’m sure there are lots more I can remember, I may come back to this topic.

It’s interesting that Dan Crowley highlights one of the reasons he signed is our style of play, other new signings have said the same thing along with the fact that Notts are on an upward trend, it’s great to hear, I’m looking forward to seeing Dan play for us.

Wordle 732 2/6 ⬜????????????⬜ ???????????????????? Two again, lucky guess.

You’ve no chance against me Only joking go for it @liampie Excuses, excuses. “Oh I was watching the test match” You know when you’re beat @super_ram admit it.

Thanks for helping me relive our National League journey @Magpie Bill that’s a great article which I enjoyed immensely.

Yay! A point clear at the top of the league!

I don’t know much about Dan but judging by the reaction on here and elsewhere to the news of his signing it’s sounds like he could be a great addition to the squad.

I had to look up Bowling for Soup, interesting group.

Yesterdays word was Kazoo @cheeky~k8

Wordle 731 2/6 ⬜????⬜????⬜ ???????????????????? @Piethagoram Snap!

@CliftonMagpie is it Darren Ward?

@CliftonMagpie is it Gary Birtles?

Sigh. @CliftonMagpie did this player play for Florist?

Am I allowed to ask if he played for Florist?

Hang on it can’t be him he’s got no connection to Notts. Back to the drawing board.

@super_ram I’m watching England but I can multi task.

@CliftonMagpie Jake Buxton thank you another point please.

I think because he is the only player left who was with us for relegation he knows the pain felt by the players, fans and everyone connected to he club. It’s great he’s here to see us return to the league.

Wordle 730 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜????⬜ ⬜????⬜⬜???? ⬜????⬜⬜???? ⬜????⬜⬜???? ???????????????????? Very hard today

Followed you back Joshua. ????

Wordle 729 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜???? ????????⬜⬜???? ???????????????????? Interesting ???? and I agree @super_ram very sneaky.

It’s easy once you get into it @cheeky~k8 just guess a word, use the keyboard to fill in the letters, if a letter turns green it’s correct and in the right place, if it’s yellow its a correct letter but in the wrong place, if it remains grey then that letter is not in the word at all. Got it? ????
