catfan replied to freckles's topic in Nottingham Companies Then and Now
I was going to give my reply but plantfit beat me to it. Also my point was about me liking the quality of their men's clothing NOT the mechanics of production costs etc. Talking of greedy companies how many have moved production to the EU with EU grants that we pay in to ? The reason being cheap labour only & no other reason. I'll start off with Imperial Tobacco moving to Poland. -
Bulwell Wether's back yard Rog ?

Parliament Street Depot. Which at the time was getting a bit full. Central Market was only a temporary depot, I think they were planning the tram back then. Trent buses pulled out of Manvers Street which was owned by the council & NCT expanded there
-
Also became a bus depot. Buses operating the Beeston & St Anns routes were based there. Named NCT Central Market Depot. Did some there myself.

The simple answer nonnaB is then don't read what doesn't interest you, there are many topics I'm not keen on so I keep clear, it really is that simple ! Many on here never contribute a thing to this site, nostalgia or otherwise. Those posters are more suited to Facebook.

Ask me nicely & I might tell you ! Oh go on then, Google Photo's ! Does a lot more than PI with no upload limits except keep images below 16mb & you're good to go til the cows come home. Works on loads of platforms, Windows, IOS, Android, Kindle, Linux. In fact I'm struggling to find what it doesn't work on. If you can run Google then it will work ! Don't cost owt either !

Some people have never really lived at the bottom end of society, going to bed on an empty belly. !

I'm inclined to disagree Mary, I lived in St Anns in the '60s & although life was hard with poor housing conditions, outside khasi's with no bathroom or central heating etc, people just got on with it cos they had no choice !
