I will not use a machine when buying a rail ticket either as I can't use my senior citizens rail card on said machine & I do pay £30 for the right to discounted tickets

Bulwell ? you can always use spoons

Now that Shipstone's is brewed at the Fox & Crown the beer is very good The IPA is wonderful

What the hell is this pushchair a VW Golf

I know there is a (green)plaque to George Brough on a house on Arnold Road but how about a plaque on the houses built on the sire of the Brough factory on Vernon Road?

Point taken

Not only me Mick

Talking pubs in general I have a list of Nottingham pubs in 1950 & there were over 350 pubs in the city area at that time

I am biased though: Firstly I don't drive(my wife does) so if I go anywhere alone I use public transport. Secondly David Lane tram stop is only five minuets walk away & the tram is the fastest way to the city for me. I wish Basford Vernon railway station was still open I would then use the train more depending on where I was going.

But trans carry at least three times the passengers that a bus does & in normal circumstances faster And a bus usually diesel pollutes the cities air

As you "refuse" to use the tram how would you know? I use the tram almost every day & to me it is always well used. And are the buses always full?

Yet you say the trams are unreliable Mick

Try looking about at 8am(ish) & 4 .30 pm

How do you know Mick you never use the tram in fact you hate the tram

I was born Highbury vale hospital in 1949 & lived in Carlton/Gedling till 1967 I moved back to Nottingham in June last year & now live less than a mile from where I was born I will be 69 in February

Happens on the tram too Mick
