Groovy vintage jazz near Gowlett road


Recommended Posts

I live on Gowlett road and for the past few days, someone within earshot of my room has been playing lots of 1930s-50s jazz: Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and right now, some soft cocktail bar sax 'n' piano. If this is you, I just want to say thank you and please keep it up! I've genuinely enjoyed it and it's far less intrusive than the constant lawn mower/leafblower/commercial dance music sounds I get from some of the other neighbors (no offence to those into those things, but every day? Really?). It makes me feel like I'm a character in a black and white film (I dress in vintage clothes and love pre-code cinema, so this is right up my ally). Also, maybe it's time for someone to set up a vintage jazz event locally once we're all allowed to roam freely again?

Nice one. Whilst I berate others for the amount of whinging, why you need a petrol mower/strimmer in this area defeats me. And the soft late 70s early 80s stuff coming from the house above is pretty dire, every so often there is one you want to dance to.


Hopefully others have some positive stories like this.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
