You need to peruse this urgently. There will be paint transfer from the car that hit you and visa versa so this can be proved forensically. Also the glass fragments can be matched. I would demand to speak immedeately to the duty Inspector for your area and get an answer. If they still refuse to cooperate then you should make a complaint to the Professional Standards department at Nottinghamshire Police HQ. They can do something about this. Their replies to you so far are negligent and failing and frankly bull sh1t. Please do not let this drop and do it urgently. Time is of the essence and they

I know. I married one.

I caught the train from Nottm to Newark a few years ago. I became aware that a woman was starring at me and when I went to get off she said, it is you isn't it. Who Your on Coronation Street aren't you No sorry you're mistaken. This conversation went on with her insisting I was ' him' off Corro whose name she couldn't recall and me saying I wasn't. She got off the train even though I don't think it was her stop and followed me down the road. In the end she became very abusive saying I was a right stuck up bas!!rd and she wouldn't watch me again and stomped off. In retrospect I wish I'd

Does anyone remember the 'nit nurse' coming to Berridge. Lined up and she'd run a comb through your hair then dip it in a bowel of disinfectant and move to the next.

There is a pleasure boat that does river trips, moored along side the castle at Newark. I noticed the other day that the business is for sale.

My Grandfather was originally from St Ann's and went away with the South Staffordshire regiment to fight in the war. His family that's my Grandmother and father who was a baby at the time were bombed out from their house in Mapperley, September 1916 by a Zeppelin and were rehoused at Hazlewood Road Radford. My grandfather was subsequently killed on 21st March 1918 in the big German offensive near Cambrai. No body no grave but his name is on a memorial in Arras which I have visited.

I think you're opening a can of worms here. The appearance of Nottingham City centre and the immediate surrounding area is dreadful.Total planning incompetence.

My my thinks the Rev Catchpole blotted his copy book somehow but can't recall the circumstances. I met him in my professional capacity once and he was okay.

This is interesting. I remember the flats well. http://www.macearchive.org/Archive/Title/atv-today-04051978-hyson-green-nottingham/MediaEntry/28722.html What ever happened to the Reverend Roy Catchpole.

Me and the wife used to go most Fridays to the Rock N Roll 50's n 60's disco there in the early 90's. Little Elvis performing Chantilly Lace. Oh happy days. Later John? Took over. He was a jobbing builder from Bulwell. It was packed every Friday. I can't remember when we stopped going. Probably about 1997 when I had an accident and was laid up.

Well. No wonder Players is going. I can't ge it away. In the bin then.

I used to smoke StBruno but got sick of all those women chasing me. (Remember the ad) Then I wake up!

I have 25g of Condor original. Well probably 23g now. If any wants it they can have it. Free. I bought it in a moment of weakness but want it out of my way. Seems a shame to bin it.

There is evidence that virus's targeting Linux systems are emerging. However free antivirus protection is available. If you are worried about the end of support for windows XP then look at Linux. It's free, faster than windows, does not need an immensely powerful pc and tons of RAM to run it, is both stable and secure and some versions are very XP like so there is no steep learning curve. What is there not to like.

I'm with you on this one. The mushroom ones were always known as window breakers to me.

Perhaps I live a sheltered life but this afternoon shopping in Waitrose I came across and I quote 'vintage basmati rice - 2006 harvest'. Is it me!

If you walk under the subway at this location there are still some stone pillars, parts of the old canal visible.

I used to work shifts and one of the gaffers had upset my mate. Many times through the night he rang the said boss and asked to speak to Pete. He was told no Pete here. This went on and on through the night with the reply getting ever more irate. I've f@@@ing told you there's no f@@@ing Pete here. Etc. just before going off shift he rang again and said, This is Pete. Any messages for me.

I remember when Diana Dors came to open the papershop. It wasn't new of course but taken over and revamped by a chap who I think was called Paul Taylor. Big Forest fan. Miss Dors came in a big pink American car. There was a huge crowd came to see her. I am sure you must remember the CoOp in the shop row. I used to go with my mum for the main weekly shop. I can still remember the white plastic shopping baskets with red handles and our CoOp number. Used to pick my own cerial with the best free gift. Further along towards the Stork Club was the fishmongers and I believe there was a CoOp fish dept

I went to a 'do' last year and Shirley Ann Field was there. We sat next to her and she was very charming. No airs and graces just a normal pleasant interesting lady.

When we were kids 1965 ish we would go under the arch and around the back to the Stork club (or whatever it may have been called) as it was a 'gentleman's' club with exotic dancers. They would have a sandwich board outside with posters of who was appearing that week. They often had bows or rosettes covering their nipples and I wondered for ages how the hell they fastened these on. Never thought of glue. The doorman would often shoo us away with cry's of you dirty little boggers.

Been there many many times in the 60's.

It is a small world. I lived on Truro Crescent for 18 years, until 14 years ago when we moved to the sticks. I am trying to place the chippy. Was it the one under the Stork Club. The bottom of Churchfield Lane was a sweet type shop on one side near the Cappo and the other was a petrol station.

Thanks katyjay. I re read the post and realised I had miss interpreted Jill's comment. I feel silly now. I lived off Churchfield Lane and other than Players Factory having gone the immediate area it is much as it was. But the wider picture is all change.

What do you mean Jill. The school has not been razed. It's still there and apart from the huts gone and minor changes it's still pretty much how it was 50 years ago.
