  1. Welcome ! FWIW I used to drive 1,7 & 22 buses in the mid seventies, can remember a bloke who lived at the Rosslyn Drive terminus & woe betide anyone who left the engine running at the terminus, he would be out like a flash !
  2. Their garage was not the NCT one but the garage at the bottom of Piccadilly/Highbury Vale, later became ATS tyres. That bus service was later operated by Skills.
  3. There's still is a nudist camp within the grounds of Newstead Abbey.
  4. Prior to 1986, before de-regulation, only NCT could pick up & drop off within the city boundary.

  11. No Ashley, The scumbags in Wollaton are your upper class scumbags ! That lot will fiddle their tax & vat etc not forgetting fiddling the expense account. A scumbag is a scumbag !! no matter where you live.
  12. That wouldn't surprise me at all Stephen.
  13. Other day got the house contents insurance reminder come through the post. After Mrs Catfan lifted me off the floor I decided to have a look around on the net for a few comparison quotes. Most of em were a lot cheaper than my existing insurer (Llyoyds TSB). Eventually chose Saga, better cover as well. Lloyds TSB £223.96. Saga £88.68. Strangely enough when I checked online with Lloyds TSB I could have the same cover for £96. 87 ! Now looking at these figures it doesn't need a degree in maths to see that this is a blatant rip off. Just come off the phone with Lloyds TSB, them making
  14. Bulwell is no better or worse than any other area of Nottm. It has it's fair share of "Scumbags" like any where else.
  15. Yes I remember him ! From a dental point of view of course ! As well as having a surgery at Netherfield he worked part time at a practice in Bulwell as well. I was a patient of his about ten or twelve years ago & remember him being stabbed by his boyfriend. The boyfriend got two years for manslaughter if memory serves me right. The dentist's name was Michael Lymn, an absolutely first class dentist as well.
