Re the bus colours, don't you think a better idea would be to give each route a number and then put that on the buses? say 36 from Basford to town. 43 Bulwell to Trent Bridge etc? I'm sure it would catch on and give a more accurate service? true it would mean teaching kids to read or at least recognize numbers but if a problem they could always go to college when 17 to learn? It would also mean that if say a bus broke down they could replace it with ANY bus with just a simple number change? maybe even have a "roll of numbers and termini" that the driver could change? and not have to run a purp

Found this little cutie in a corner of my front lawn this evening - fast asleep and totally oblivious to me mowing the lawn. Definitely very much alive!

Been away from the pc for a while and missed my daily visits to Nottstalgia! I grew up in Nottm and spent the first 39 years of my life there, my kids were all born there, I'm an ozzy now, but will always have a spot in my heart for my home town, hence why I visit this site. One of my daughters is currently in the uk and has spent 2 weeks in Nottm and loved it ! albeit she left there 25 years ago. Don't think I could live full time there again, the cold would kill me ! but love to visit even though things are changing and not for the best in some cases. There are worse places in the UK to

Nice to see this. In the 1960s I was at Clarendon College with Dick Beckinsale before he went off to RADA. He was a great bloke and a terrific actor in the making. I had a motor scooter in those days and recall him persuading me to give him lifts back to Chilwell when he had missed the last bus!

Great news , glad all seems to have gone well for them. Opening a bottle of four year old vintage Elderflower Champagne to celebrate. Good on yer Maam

Have to admit that I'm pleased the Elf and Safety tw*ts can't get at me over this one. It's mine, on my land and not for public use - so they can all feck off and be sad tw*ts elsewhere!

The best playground us kids in Langar had, was the old airfield when it closed and before industry moved in, the RCAF left lots of things behind, that we played with from old lorry's and cars, bits of uniform, and equipment, some of the buildings were still full of furniture, it was a great place to play war in, until the salvage companies, striped the airfield.

Loads - at least once every 20yrs

And don't even mention the idea of a railway tunnel into the city centre from the south.

I used to have a straight stick for my rifle. A small piece of branch sufficed for a pistol or reveolver Tommy guns were totally imaginary and always fired from the hip.

I know there are others sites but with the clear skies over the last few weeks I have been watching various jets flying over here and you can track them .This site tells you what the plane is, its route , how fast its flying ,eta and altitude . Just click on which plane is passing over your area . I suppose its only scheduled flights . http://www.crondallweather.co.uk/flighttracker.html#.Ue0ldNJgSSp Screen shot here , not in my sight but the there were two planes flying in tandem up from the south towards Exeter at the bottom of the screen for quite a long time (one 5000 feet higher !) .On

Could never take to Robert Shaw, think he reminded me of a teacher at school. Can't stand Ray Winston, he really thinks he is an East End hard man, just like Bob Hoskins previously. Nesbit looks like an inbred with his eyebrows meeting. Sean Connery, self opinionated. My favourites are IMHO Ernest Borgnine, versatile and rugged. James Stewart, utterly convincing. Gary Cooper, dependable. Lee van Cleef, wouldn't appear in films if he had to hit women. Gene Hackman, formidable. Robert Duvall, real hard man. L Q Jones, likeable rogue. James Coburn, suave but a hint of danger. William

Looks lovely, the equal of Bourton on the water!
