  1. It can't be doing that yet B-K, It starts after the 21st and that's nearly a year a way...
  2. My (First car) 105e was Light Blue / white, also with added rust, but not enough to fail the "hit the chassis with a hammer MOT Test" of the time.
  3. Yes to the Capri https://uk.corgi.co.uk/products/ford-consul-capri-335-109e-lime-green-ermine-white-va03407?gclid=CjwKCAiAtouOBhA6EiwA2nLKH186zVEO0s4WkBVNeusTySjaLQsfscl5QwoTDXtKnmyYFI6dNzg8eRoCrv8QAvD_BwE
  4. Unless both have bad memories. Searching for Hillcrest Garage brings up a business at Northern Court Vernon road AND still the Hucknall road address.?? EDIT They've moved
  5. The HIll Crest Garage has been various businesses since car sales. There used to be a Social club upstairs. I think the cars sales was called Le Marinel and the servicing Hillcrest Building is still there, just on the left after Perry Rd City bound https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9832634,-1.1580854,3a,75y,102.31h,87.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqs5wFNhkHWPPv51j4KvqaQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Hillcrest were still around the back till a few years ago. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9829841,-1.1572399,3a,75y,313.52h,86.4t/data=!3m7
  6. Yes, thanks Paolo it's always good to have more acurate information.
  7. Edited,, The Cinema site does not have approval. New application would be required. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.980824,-1.1314613,50a,35y,122.67h,58.56t/data=!3m1!1e3 The corner plot has had planning for a while, must be that that's starting (re-starting) as it had previous work done probably to preserve the planning. Does not include the the takeaway building
  8. And here's a Dido from Big Kris's site, link below with loads of other Dido pics. Replaced by a bus service in Sept 1956 https://bigkris21.tripod.com/id8.html
  9. There was a planning application in 2018 to demolish all the industrial buildings and erect housing, however no decision made over it. The Station Masters or Signalmans house, whichever it was, shown in black was to be renovated. Application by Kendon Packaging Group Plc
  10. No, Virgin is still not fixed, well mine and loads locally on NEXTDOOR. Last Estimate was 9.00pm tonight. I've got channels 1 to 4, usually have about 300,, mostly variations of the same channels. Broadband is O.K
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-59431130
  12. (Drat, messed up the edit,) Looks like that place was open in 2008 as the New Station Road Club, but dilapidated in 2012 (Google street view old views) Might have been replaced by the Crossing Social Club (LMRCA) just down the road towards the Crossing which seems to have appeared as a new build 2015 / 16 or is that the replacement for the old one at the Retail park? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9660861,-1.0790356,3a,75y,124.54h,88.84t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1somnhXbANLiJmldUptSdxww!2e0!5s20080801T000000!7i13312!8i6656

  14. Cant see Alberts link but I'll guess at it being something like this; "Can I have the one 3rd row from the top, looks nice and plump"
  15. Arnold Working Mens club, the empty building, is still there, but the club closed down in 2015. I went in a couple of times and in Gedling Miners as my Father Law was at Gedling Pit. There's still Liberal Club, Conservative Club and Labour Club. Also Brititsh Legion and Ex Servicemens Club all in Arnold. I suspect the rise of other venues started to attract the younger generation who would normally have frequented the old MIners / Railway / Working mens clubs. There was also the Larger Company Clubs as well like Boots, Plessey and General Social Clubs.
  16. As C-T opposite the bottom of Shakespeare St, roughly where Costa is now. (Not that I knew anything about it till now) Old photo by George L Roberts, identified as L shaped room. Subtle labelling by myself..
  17. 44 Bulwell Hall (Hucknall LANE ) to Colwick road? (photos David Bradley Trolleybus net)
  18. Got my text this morning, 4th Nov. 6 month anniversary was on the 2nd Nov. I'd pre-empted and booked yesterday for the earliest I could get locally on the 13th Nov. Got a text from my G.P Medical Centre this afternoon. The earliest I can get in there is 3hrs after the appointment I've already got elsewhere. I'm sticking.
  19. My Danfoss Thermostat auto changes for Summer Winter but does have a disable in the advanced settings
  20. The Daylight saving clock change was due to stop this year under Euro Legislation, todays change would have been the last. The plan was to have 3 fixed Euro timezones GMT, GMT+1, GMT+2 running West to east. However due to the Pandemic and internal E.U disagreements the final date has not been settled.
  21. And it's a 28 day wait after a Positive Covid test before you can have the booster (plus the 6 months from original double jabs). It appears Booster bookings are being done via the NHS website and not Swiftqueue (unless it redirects to there) and subject to having been invited to book. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/book-or-manage-a-booster-dose-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine/
  22. RH and MARK are on this one https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9810157,-1.1273292,3a,15y,280.58h,80.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sP8Enbv-fvh7z3WZAAQWTyw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en
