As kids we used to hire a rowing boat from The Embankment and row as far as Wilford Bridge. No life jackets then. I think we're 11/12. No way could that be done now without serious questions being asked!

I agree - their web site is a shambles. I did launch a Mirror dinghy at Hazleford back in the late 60's with no problem. It's used by the Trent Power and Ski Boat Club for launching speedboats but I don't think they are very active these days. Most days there's nobody down there. It was more active when the Star and Garter was a pub but it's an old folk's home now so very quiet.

Good luck! Don't forget, if you launch at Hazleford Ferry, there are 3 locks to pass through on the way to Nottingham. I'm a Britannia man myself but that was in my sixth form days many years ago.

I think you will need a "short term visitor's licence". Canal and River Trust" site gives details.

Try Hazelford Ferry at Bleasby. There is a public slipway. Don't forget your river licence which also requires insurance - or just risk it!

There used to be a "proper" butchers shop in Hoveringham back in the 60's/70's called Mrs Clark's. They were good butchers but I remember the flies buzzing round the carcasses in the summertime. I also rember the old slaughterhouse in Epperstone where blood would run down the gutter on Main st.

Don't fancy a ride out that far!

Also Bailey's at Upper Broughton if you fancy a ride out. Prizewinning Melton pork pies!

Southwell has two. Goffs and Pitchfords.

It looks like a Danish billionaire is now interested in buying Notts County. That could save their bacon!

I remember back in 1959 going to a protest demonstration in the Market Square to get Popkess reinstated after he had been suspended by the watch committee. He had launched an investigation into corruption by labour councilors. His suspension became a national scandal and he was subsequently reinstated. He retired not long afterwards and never set foot in Nottingham again. Details can be found on the Internet.

Corbyn is an unalloyed disaster. If he were any good, the fact that he looks like bag of washing would be accepted as eccentricity. This is not a political view - I've no brief for Cameron either but he does dress smartly! As for the Scottish fish woman - let's not go there!

Just discovered the asking price is Eight to Ten million!
I do like a chap with a sense of humour.

..... or you could buy Notts County.

Forgot to mention I did have a Defender some 20 years ago. That was stolen due to the inadequate security system.

My wife had a LR Discovery some years ago. It knew its own way to the Lincoln dealership for all the recalls. In my company Range Rover you could see daylight through the driver's door seal.

Look at the tv footage. The jacket and trousers are not of the same colour. Personally I don't really care but I am a pedant!

He wasn't even wearing a suit - just a scruffy brown jacket and grey trousers. He still hasn't mastered the art of wearing a tie. I think his dress sense shows lack of respect to the House of Commons. Most of the time I'm more than happy to be scruffy but there are occasions when one has to make an effort.
We always dress for dinner here at Mayfield Towers!

Does anyone know the asking price? Trew bought it for £1 with around 1.5 million debt. That's considerably more now under his stewardship. Say around 30p? Tempting isn't it?
-
As a potential statesman he needs to smarten himself up. I don't want to be represented by a scruffy erk like Corben. However he does ask sensible questions of Cameron but fails to get a proper reply. Cameron should not be using question time to pass insults.
Not impressed by either of them.

Well, according to the most recent accounts, the net worth of the company is minus £4,119,676. I believe the ground is owned by the City Council. Is there money to be made by investing here?
There are people who enjoy the kudos of owning a football club so someone of wealth may step forward. Good luck to them.

Bumping into old friend's trousers???

Well he bought the club for £1. Offer him £2 and it could be yours!

At least it should push the valuation down!
