  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. Trent/Barton buses are being cancelled right left and centre. The latest excuse - 'demisters not working'
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Just found a jar of raspberry jam at the back of the cupboard. The date on it is Nov 2020. That date is neither use by or sell by. Will it be OK to use? I had another that was Jan 2020. That had been part used but even that hadn't got any of the usual white mould that you get on an opened jam jar that has been forgotten. I have binned that one in nay event.
  12. Bus pass! 18 months now since I last drove a car.
  13. Just got a bottle from Sainsbury's, Kimberley today. 75p cheaper than Morrisons and tastes just as good. Oh, and you will find with the Italian wines
  14. Just came onto Nottstalgia - page opens at 'All Activity' - thought it was slightly amusing that there was two subjects listed one after the other - 'Car Insurance' and 'It's a Scam.' I'll say no more.
  15. It just appears but you will have had a letter to tell you qualify to receive it.
  16. Reading this, I thought I had better look at mine. It was paid in today. Get me pension on Thursday as well. Whoopppeeeee £900 a year payrise next April. Best job in the world this retirement thing
  17. You don't need to be rich - it's not that expensive hic!
  18. @Jill Sparrow Well I bought a bottle. Very tasty. I would drink it in preference to a good many French wines. Problem is, the cork won't go back in the bottle and I wouldn't like it too evaporate!
  19. Not heard of it. It sounds like some type of medicine. If it's not dry I might well like it.
  20. Thanks. Can I just ask you to have a look if they actually stock Sandemans LBV at the moment please, if so, at what cost per bottle. Waitrose are not actually advertising any Sandemans at the moment, so they may no longer be stocking it.
  21. £16.49 a bottle. That's not bad. Free delivery before 25th November if over £25 - so buy two bottles
  22. There is a little Waitrose on Milton Street in Nottm. but they don't carry much stock. Certainly no Sandemann
