  1. When are people going to realise that Reform UK are as Fascist as Moseley's Black Shirts from the 1930s. They need to be stopped at all costs.
  2. Back in the seventies, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Roger Whittaker, although it wasn't cool for a young teenager to admit it. Now I appreciate his work even more. As well as his rich, mellow voice his gift as a lyricist to be able to paint pictures with his words is up there with the best. RIP.
  3. Rog, the blue and cream Daimler CVG6 in BK's photo is from Rotherham, rather than Sheffield
  4. Roger, whilst not wishing to decry your efforts, which are far better than anything I could manage, the destination layout is incorrect for an NCT Leyland Titan PD2/40. NCT never used "lazy blinds" and the Titans had T-shaped displays, with the destination mounted above the two numeral blinds. Red wheels would also add more athenticity.
  5. Why do vegetarians and vegans think they have a right to go into a resturant and expect to have a non-meat meal. I bet I wouldn't be able to have a steak if I went into a vegetarian/vegan resturant
  6. Notts and Deby Traction ran the trolleybuses. Both N & D and MGO were part of the Balfour Beaty group
  7. Police and Crime Commissioner. The post is a totally bureaucratic waste of time, just another job for the "boys/girls". Scrap it now and save some money.
  8. Colin Slater, the voice of Notts County has passed away at the age of 87. Along with Jimmy Sirrel and Jack Wheeler, Colin will be forever remembered by all of us who "worship" at Meadow Lane.
  9. I can't understand why vegans want their food to look like meat. If your vegan, fine, but don't pretend you're not by tarting your food up as something that its not. You wouldn't want us meat eaters disguisung a steak as a carrot.
  10. Lizzie M, the Nottingham Chamber of Commerce should be able to notarise any documents that you need.
  11. Trolleybuses were certainly exempt from road tax
  12. It was never taxed/licenced as 73RTO, so the registration was surrendered. Its first use on public roads was in 1964 so it did not need taxing until that date and it was thus eligible for the B suffix registration, ATO73B
  13. Fleetline 73 did not eneter service until 1964 as it was used to develop a new and improved heating system, hence its B suffix registration.
  14. LIzzie, it was where my Mam and Dad met in 1962, so without the Palais, in all probability, I wouldn't be here now.
