  1. Midland General also had Bristol LD6's with the same arrangement. Regularly used on B1 for no apparent reason.
  2. No, I didn't look inside it - I just took the pictures! If it had the long seats upstairs I assume it is a lowbridge bus.
  3. That is the one glaring fault on that model that really annoys me is the bonnet top. It should be maroon not cream.
  4. I walked down St James's Street yesterday. Would have had the same effect there! Never seen any area of Nottingham look so bad.
  5. I thought Clarendon had been demolished. May be wrong tho'
  6. I have had a bottle (glass) bin for a long time and don't have to pay for it. Anyone requesting a bottle bin now to replace the yellow bag we were originally provided with has to pay for it. I suspect that I will have to pay for it at some point, in which case they can have it back. Broxtowe Council.
  7. This just popped up on my Facebook feed https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/news/people/meet-the-man-taking-care-of-victoria-centres-emett-clock-for-over-ten-years-4539915?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR16UGeOOqAf3icny4KEgRNRvG5HWNkv9ULvnfthUsKwqbWKeGUkN3kyRWg#Echobox=1709314407
  8. Yes that is correct. They moved onto Huntingdon Street at some point. But then I often confuse Huntingdon Street with Wollaton Street or even Talbot Street. They all seem to have the same 'feel' to them.
  9. Thanks, I'll go with that. Am I right in thinking that it would not be Truman's old place. I don't remember that being on a corner.
  10. Does anyone know where this is? I think it is Sytners current place on Lenton Lane - or at least that is my best guess. The person who is asking me where it is thinks it is Truman Mitchells old place on Triumph Corner/Derby Road. I'm saying definitely not!
  11. I knew someone named Porter on Sneinton Dale. Further up in the council houses. Worked with my father at the ROF. Can't for the life of me remember his first name. Probably not relevant anyway.
  12. Trent/Barton buses are being cancelled right left and centre. The latest excuse - 'demisters not working'
  13. Not keen on the Horse & Groom, Moorgreen. Its one of these places where they put a gravy boat or similar one one side of the plate rather than filling the plate with food. Puts me off instantly.
  14. The Range at Somercotes had Wilko stuff in before Christmas. Seeds were among the items, so I don't think it was old stock. Wilko usually sell seeds off minus 70% at the end of the gardening season and I am pretty sure that had done that before they went pop.
  15. I sampled a teaspoon yesterday, it tasted fine and I got out of bed alive this morning so I intend to carry on and use it.
