As usual Jill will follow with some details of this photo.

Posting for Jill who will add some detail.

The Bromley Arms at Fiskerton is opening again this Monday 11am.

Sorry, I see I’m late on parade with this one.

Posting this for Jill who will add the details below.

For some reason I have difficulty saying ‘repeat prescription’. I find myself practicing before I go to the pharmacy. One I’ve thought about it and said it a few times, it’s fine.

Posting this photo from 1953 on behalf of Jill who will give the details below. It has some damage which I’ve cleaned it up best I can.

Nottingham connection in that she was held captive at Newark. Free for the asking.

I’ve just read the book by Stephanie Slater, the estate agent kidnapped by Michael Sams and kept prisoner in his Newark workshop. The workshop in Swallow Yard is still there and much as it was then. It is now used by a small upholstery business which I visited recently. They were not very pleased when I mentioned Sams and the kidnapping and prefer to let it rest. I admire Ms Slater who was raped and lived in constant dread of being killed by Sams. She was released when a ransom was paid and faced her ordeal with great courage. She later went to live quietly on the Isle of White and sadly di

I’ve done with coronavirus vaccines. After the last one I had an horrendous reaction. Could barely move and was eventually diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica which is rather unpleasant to understate it 1000%. No one will attribute it directly to the vaccine but there is research that links it. Even when I was fully vaccinated I’ve had the virus twice. I’ll risk it from now on.

I disagreed as Col did say that to which you……… It seems you do you accept he did say that now. A difference is I’m sure those seeking tax avoidance pay their own legal fees and don’t use legal aid and aren’t encouraged or coached as to what to say. However I don’t think ‘morals’ and ‘lawyers’ fit in the same sentence very often. I think we are broadly in agreement. I wonder how many Ms Ali’s would work pro bono. I don’t watch GB news so I have no view of them one way or other. No desire to defend or criticise them. The story was run by several news outlets. Finally

Irony aside I disagree Brew. Col said “She's helping people to exploit loopholes. Tax accountants do that all the time and it's perfectly legal. It's called 'Tax Avoidance'.” I read that as comparing what Ms Ali is doing as no different to what lawyers do with tax avoidance. He may well be right. It’s the law that needs to change.

I just wrote a long reply then realised I’m being drawn into posting on the political thread again so deleted it. Comparing Ms Ali’s conduct to tax avoidance and then saying the motives of the report were racist. Really!

But the government are rather hampered by the left who thwart all attempts to do anything about the problem. An example of which is amply demonstrated in the Irim Ali video I posted. Just as well she was only being ‘a bit naughty’ I wonder if she was a Tory millionaire you’d be quite so forgiving. I’ll concede that the whole situation with the migrants is a total mess and the government have failed miserably.

The practical difference is the political ones go on the ‘political thread’. I can see this one getting close. There you go. I rest my case. Political.

(Well that’s assuming that dj continues to use a car. It would be even more commendable to give up using a car completely but I was speaking with the assumption that he was continuing with car use.) Agree but dj says he doesn’t do many miles in the car so it’s a balance between the environment cost of manufacturing a new vehicle or using the one he already has. I’ve no idea how much pollution is caused in extracting the raw materials, processing them to usable products, getting them to one site and then assembling them together into a vehicle which is then shipped to the end user as o

DJ. It’s worrying that I agree with most of what you say. I’ll be singing keep the red flag flying soon. (No offence intended) I think it’s commendable and sensible to keep your car running. If it ain’t broke. We have 2 cars as there is no practical public transport where I live. My wife’s car, an economical 1Litre, we had from new and is almost 9 years old with nearly 100k on it and we’ll keep it until it falls to bits or may go to one car soon. I have to change my car every 3 years due to the contract I have. Currently a hybrid doing 70 mpg and I’d keep it if I could. The new one w

I said I wouldn’t post in this thread again but I just could resist this. I think we all know that I rarely miss an opportunity to warn against the activities of the Labour lefties.

DJ. I rarely agree with you on many things but your post above was interesting. I see that the far right QUOTE ‘As usual, most of the 'deniers' are from the far Right of the political spectrum and are either working on behalf of 'vested interests' around Car manufacture, Oil/Gas Coal production etc or are just nuts’ gets a mention, no surprise there but I believe your final comment was valid and the similarity to the right to bare arms in America struck a chord. I would fight tooth and nail to keep my car but there may come a point when you have to ask yourself do we really need one or ra

I understand that the steering wheel is an optional extra on Mercs and BMW’s

The time I’m talking of Phil, car phones were not for the likes of a humble TV service engineer. Only James Bond and accountants had those.

My current car has inbuilt satnav which is very good but I’ve a new car on order which won’t have sat nav as it was a £1200 option. It will have Apple car play so I’ll use waze which I find pretty good when I’ve tried it or a stand alone Tom Tom or similar which will be considerably cheaper than £1200.

Once upon a time many (many many) years ago I worked as a tv service engineer. I’d get a list of addresses to attend. So trying to find a house in say Derby or Chesterfield. You’d get to the general area but ask someone who would um and arh and ‘let me think’ for 5 minutes before deciding either they didn’t know or send you in the wrong direction. I gave up the job partly for this reason. I could have finished in a fraction of the time with a sat nav and save countless arguments of map reading en route with my wife. Stress free driving with sat nav an£ as Phil mentions eta distance left etc. B

I agree in principle that many of us can look back at our much younger years with fondness as we didn’t have the responsibilities and awareness of what was happening around us. I love computers and tech and computers have provided me with employment, income and a hobby and benefits but have bought with them a lot of undesirable effects that the world could do without. Life expectancy, freedom to be open about sexuality etc all better but I look around the city and it’s not my imagination that the decline in humanity and infrastructure is palpable. I’d go back 50 years in a heartbeat if it were
