"Click Chat !”

-
For all those who Want to.. Need to.. Like to.. Chat to and discuss with others within our 3 villages - on any topic - serious, amusing or contentious,
-
Come on all of you join your ONLINE community, for if you are reading this "blog" you have already begun the process, so continue and “Click Chat !” with others within this “Burton Joyce Online” website
-
Please spread the word to everyone who may be interested in chatting and gossiping ( local subjects, history, incidents etc) and improving the lifestyle of our community, particularly that of the "mature and silver heads" amongst us. There is also the ongoing opportunity for submitting regular guest articles
-
It is a fact that quite frequently, as we all get older, we find we become less mobile and lack the personal " get-up and go" to socialise with others of our generation. We loose contact and become more isolated and withdraw within ourselves. A regular "Click Chat !" on this website will begin to change this frame of mind and help with making new friends and socialising again.
-
“Burton Joyce Online” can in fact “kick start" a new and enjoyable interest in your life, more so for those who are house bound and less mobile. Of course a computer and internet service is vital to “Click Chat !“, however, for those who are mobile there is always the free access to computers and the internet (together with instruction) at the B J Library in Meadow Lane.

So “Click Chat !” and participate in your community via this your local website http://www.burtonjoyce.blogspot.com/

Another UFO ?

Did anyone see the Low flying bright trangular light passing over BJ from the NE to SW last night about 7.15pm .
-
The strange thing about this particular sighting, which appeared to be flying, soundlessly and relatively slowly over BJ village, Stoke Bardolph and then over the Trent towards Gamston, was that there were no intermittanat flashing navigation lights ( there was a totally constant yellow/orange bright light, similar to cabin lights, but much brighter).
-
At the same time as this "UFO" was in the sky there was also a passenger jet on an incoming circuit somewhere SW of Nottingham heading into Donnington. This object was not on any collision course and appear to take avasive action it just simply faded away somewhere in the Stanton in the Wolds area.

Funny what ?.. ..

Village centre congestion

“Manners maketh the man“ ! !-
A saw an nice act of respect and gallantry, by an elderly gentleman, in B J village centre the other day. There was a young mother having a little difficulty with her shopping and her youngster, probably 3 years old or so, crossing across a busy Main St.. There were several cars around and others parked nearby restricting all pedestrians vision. Plus a "Southwell bound" bus, parked and off loading passengers in front of the Post Office
-
This mature gentleman, who had just crossed Main St from the Co-op Car Park , realised the situation and immediately went to the lady's assistance - then taking the hand of the youngster he guided them both, back across the road, navigating the traffic which was passing both ways, and into the Co-op Car park (from where he had just come). He then crossed Main St for the third time, to get back on his own way to the Post office

- .. gallantry and consideration for others .. par excellance!
-
It was this example of courtesy and respect for others that prompted me to begin to compile a list both serious and amusing, which exemplifies just what makes someone a "Gentleman".
-
Keep a look out for this in future reports
