  1. Also the flow for traffic has been reversed  where the white car and van are in the pic above to allow vehicles exiting the car park to go to the south, otherwise they'd have had to go up MMW to the roundabout and back down the other side.

  2. "very concerned for one of her children".

     

    That won't even get of the starting blocks as an acceptable reason.

    The only one that might is immediate threat to the drivers life, as in actually being chased by someone.

    And doing 35 / 38 in a 30 doesn't back that up, if you're in fear of your life you'd be doing at least 100mph.

  3. I've owned 21 cars plus 1 van plus 3 Lambretta scooters.

    Still got 3 of the cars.

    I also had around 15 company provided vans in my final 25 years of employment.

    I can remember about a third of the reg numbers and only have photos of the cars I've still got.

  4. It's dis-jointed as it's several buildings built on a slope all joined together, plus alterations.

     

    The Historic England listing below describes the array of buildings and internal features presumably most of which are covered by the listing.

    The listing is probably going to add more headaches to the nightmare job the architects for the the current owners will have been having over recent years trying to find an economic solution.

    It's not going to be such an easy solution as was found for the Queen St Post Office building, the back of which is visible in the picture below.

     

    Google image from above showing the array of buildings that make up the complex.

  5. I'd seen that, Engineer and thought,, I'll leave it a day or 2 and just drive up and down it, it'll be a lot quicker.

     

    Also to note for irregular visitors to the area, Arnold lane will be closed from Mapperley plains for 3 months, give or take, so they can divert Arnold Lane onto one of the new islands and replace the traffic lights and lane markings.

     

    Access will be down the new road then turn right at the junction after the first island to get back onto Arnold Lane.

  6. Caution distressed female heard on the soundtrack.

     

    On this video there is gunshot as the tank appears from the right.

    The tank veers to the centre line of the road, either the driver is avoiding gunshot or is hit or the tank lost traction on one track trying to get out of the way of the oncoming car

     

    On another video there is a military truck that had pulled up in front of the flats under the camera position maybe the shots came from there.

     

    There are also reports the Ukraines were chasing Russians who had seized Ukraine vehicles and were trying to get into the centre of the city.
