    There was always a cartoon type advert in the NEP for Shipsides, drawn by a guy named Keith Armstrong, He signed his cartoons "KARM"

    Very nice chap, he was in the NEP a few years back for having a "pet" fox. I believe he lived in the Bestwood lodge area.

    Would be nice to see those cartoons again if anyone has a picture or copy of the NEP from the 60s/70's

    Nottingham City Police had used Standard Ensigns and Vanguards before the company's merger with Triumph.

     

    Nottingham City (as usual!) had cars that were unique. They were the only force to put their city coat of arms on the doors and while every other force in Britain was happy with tinkling bells they specified American style sirens.
