  1. Mr Engineer, do you mean in the slabs on the left, looks like there's a V mid picture? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.9482784,-1.1399968,3a,30y,80.06h,68.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGEfHkhYVL9amiZmJFT2RXw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en And a III and IIII in this one https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.948285,-1.1400246,3a,15y,96h,57.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suJU7e3I0k6lxCHjtlDGlvw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en The numbers may have been stonemasons marks. I suspect the bridge has been rebuilt in the past and the slabs got moved around, looking at the ramp on
  2. Google's pretty good at finding answers, but I don't think it can answer the Skills, Bartons or Train question. I'd guess Skills, I seem to remember they went everywhere
  3. I got it from this map, click on the location and it brings up a picture. I went along the East Coast first then over to North Wales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lighthouses_in_England
  4. New Brighton, Liverpool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Brighton_Lighthouse#/media/File:New_Brighton_Lighthouse_2018.jpg
  5. As long as they don't include trips home at the weekends.
  6. The only good thing for the City to come out of this is managing to get reportedly over £20m (but reports seem to have disappeared now) for the RHE customer list. If RHE had gone bust Ofgem would have transfered the customers to other suppliers who would not have had to pay RHE anything. At around £200 per customer name it seems a high price to pay but B.G will easily recoup that. Even with the thousands if not 10's of thousands of RHE customers like me who will either not transfer or will not renew at the end of their current deal. They will be trying and in
  7. Still available today, for a bargain £12; Or if Your Stately home needs one a slightly more expensive one;
  8. From the articles I've seen U.K Gov aren't paying him He's classed as an unpaid advisor to the Board of Trade. So it shouldn't cost anything to get rid of him if he proves to be a problem
  9. There a quite a few ex City Transport bus drivers about. I'm sure at least one will know, but you know what it's like, you don't see one for ages then they all turn up together.
  10. From the Lister Gate side, walk forward with what was Boots and the large open area on the right (now closed), down the corridor and out onto Collin Street behind the Bus stops. It wasn't a tunnel but has now been covered over due to insecure structures and missing roof above. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.94962,-1.1487565,3a,75y,44.46h,91.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXfaQc89Mi6PIlkLLxapASw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
  11. O.K sorry then It was described as an AR15 style semi automatic. Presumably that's a gun that holds more ammunition than a normal gun and although legal for Open carry in some States is not a suitable weapon to be parading within a group of people the majority of whom are legally protesting. The 17 year old has been charged by the Police First degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon First degree recklessly endangering safety, use of a dangerous weapon (two counts) First degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon Att
  12. The 17 year old, who was illegally in possession of the automatic rifle (underage), had already shot someone who threw a plastic bag at him before the person with the skate board was trying to disarm him and was killed. There was phone video of this which was taken off Youtube while I was watching. It didn't show what led up to the bag throwing or suggest what was in the bag.
  13. According to google translate Cockroaches in German is Kakerlakes so maybe with a German accent it would sound like blackclocks
  14. It's the way NHS Scotland , NHS N.I and NHS Wales have done since the start, and many other Countries as well I suspect. There could be people who have tested positive and died within 28days but not from Covid or any related issues, just the same as there may have people who died after 28days from Covid related issues. How the numbers compare we will probably never know. My Mothers cause of death (7 years ago) on the certificate is Old Age,. If she'd been alive this year and had had tested positive for Covid and died, would the cause be Covid, Old Age or Old
  15. Another who DIDN'T go to Berridge, although the thread is interesting anyway. I went to ArnoVale, so that looks like 2 3 in the "I went to ArnoVale and not Berridge" section of the non-Berridge old boys/girls association!
  16. As it's an N.E.P quiz thread, What was the connection with the Evening Post, a Celebrity and Elephants? No Bonus points for the actual wording.
  17. Markets seem to have been on the decline for years. It's probably online, £1 shops and the likes of B&M and the Range that have killed them off. However it's not putting Gedling Borough off spending up to £4million on revamping Arnold Market. https://www.gedlingeye.co.uk/news/video-see-how-the-revamped-arnold-market-will-look-in-this-new-flythrough-video/
  18. I've been on some of those sites, 1st Ammendment Auditors some of them like to call themselves. Right to Open Carry (weapons) seems to cause a few incidents. I accept they have gun laws but why you'd need to open carry a loaded AK47 is a real mystery to me. There are some horrific events with the Police Wellness / Welfare check ending in fatality quite often. It seems U.S Police spend 26 weeks training, the majority of that time is use of weapons, self defence and tactical driving. Then they're given a Badge, (that used to give them full immunity to prose
  19. Yep. https://cropwellbishopstilton.co.uk/our-range/
  20. Slight variation of misleading, available from Morrisons
  21. Did anyone go on a Pubcrawl in Ilkeston, including Weatherspoons, the weekend before last, there's been a Virus issue; https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/council/news-events/news-updates/news/ilkeston-coronavirus-appeal-get-tested.aspx?fbclid=IwAR09Hx1hFd1ab6DDn_nqnYJrsZJ6ll6agwLAFM0F8-SDXtt_3BhFgmeebdk#
  22. The equipment in the Police "Hi Tech" Control room is all telephone call routing equipment and switches. The panel has an Ericsson (later Plessey, of Beeston ) nameplate on it. I'd guess that as Ericsson used to manufacture and install telephone equipment, they'd probably developed this alarm and were using Nottingham to test it before it was rolled out across other Police Forces. As it used the GPO phone network it may have been a joint development with Post Office Research.
  23. Nonna, I think the Fairies may have moved with the times and now look for Self contained fully fitted residences. Dancing around outside in all weathers on toadstools is a thing of the past.
  24. Think I was wrong about the numbers made. They'd made 16 million by 1900, then changed to letters and numbers for the serial numbers; https://www.contrado.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Singer-Sewing-Machine-Numbers-compressed.pdf Just checked my Mums singer serial number and it dates as 1934, so her Dad must have bought it when completed her apprenticeship at age 19 not when she started at 16. Possibly my confusion, I've got an oil painting of her done by her Dad at age 16.
  25. C.T. My Mum's is a very similar head to that if not identical but is a full cabinet with doors and was originally treadle powered. (treadle thrown away years ago) I fitted a motor convertion on it in the 70's or maybe earlier, which is still on and still works. Regards the value, you won't buy a bag of peanuts for what they're worth. Something to do do with millions being made and thousands of them still around. If its' still got the treadle you might get 2 bags of peanuts. One of my Daughters in law has 20 or 30 machine heads of various ages, she us
