My favourite was Helena Rubenstien Heaven sent, l was lucky enough to work at Boots as a saturday girl, so got a good discount of the price of already reduced gift boxes after Christmas, so l stocked up for the year!

I tried to buy a copy from a online perfume shop recently, but it was nothing like the original. A lot of perfumes changed or became discontinued when they stoped using real musk as a fixative ingredient.

For a one off special occasion, ie wedding anniversary, Mum and Dad used to go for "A steak meal" at the local Bernie Inn. I think the above choices were actually compulsory, if you wanted to show a bit of class!

AS above for starters and main, but followed by a knicker bocker glory. I only liked the strawberry at the bottom of the long glass, so had to eat the rest to get at it.

Then the walk home, avoiding the pavement pizza`s.

I can remember taking my grandad to Derby's first Chinese restaurant, not knowing or wishing to try Chinese food, he ordered the Scampi and Chips, only to cover it witn Soy sauce instead of vinegar from the condiment tray on the table. He never went back there again, complaining that the food was too salty for his liking!

I haven't read all these comments!!! How many are there ?
But as a Native of Notingham when the city was a very nice place(it's not bad now)but we had the old market where there was a stall selling hot mushy peas. There was also a stall in Skegness doing the same. If only........to die for. My grandad dragged me their every Saturday. Wonderful.
