bamber 128 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well they dropped the Evening a while back which is fair enough as the paper is now printed first thing in the morning with no later editions, so it's always yesterday's news. The new nottinghampost.com website is something awesome in its awfulness. The design reminds me of very early attempts at HTML coding, when website designers were still getting to grips with the medium's possibilities, circa 1995. If this is the best the Nottingham Evening Post can come-up with I give them a couple of years before the whole enterprise is consigned to history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 The thisis... brand seems to be on the way out. The Leicester Mercury and The Derby Evening Telegraph have both switched to new web addresses but with the same rubbish templet as the NEP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just had a look at the new site. It looks by the size sf the script and images, it is for those who cannot see too well.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,681 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I would forgive them everything if they put all the old Bygones supplements on line (for free) but doubt that will happen ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,681 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thought there was no news in Notts this past weekend ? ....well you missed this dramatic story . http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Couple-return-holiday-grass-street-cut-different/story-19155350-detail/story.html#axzz2V9qJLiLZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,504 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Isn't that so pathetic David?!! Really scraping the barrel to fill the pages. But Andy Smart wrote a good review of the Rod Stewart concert on Saturday night at the Arena. We were there and he was brilliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would forgive them everything if they put all the old Bygones supplements on line (for free) but doubt that will happen !

LizzieM 9,504 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Carni, it's published by the Evening Post and comes out about once a month, think it's 70p. There are often some very good articles in it, together with letters and old photos that people send in. It is possible that you could get a subscription I suppose because just looking at one I have here it states that it is 'registered as a newspaper with the Post Office'. You could contact them at Bygones, Nottingham Post, City Gate, Tollhouse Hill, Nottingham NG1 5 FS. The editor is Andy Smart, e.mail address Andy.smart@nottinghampostgroup.co.uk. DavidW had a letter printed a little while ago, he'd sent it in months before. I noticed that this letter was from a David W in Cornwall and asked if it was him! David was coming to Nottingham anyway and managed to get hold of the copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you so much for you'r help LizzieM,It sounds really brilliant,i can't wait to read one,i will definitely contact them tomorrow,I had an aunt who i used to visit at Clifton who used to save the Evening Post for me,sadly she passed away 2yrs ago,and i miss her very much,and i haven't been able to read any Notts news since.

mick2me 3,033 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I wonder if Notts Police and the Post could give any further tips, such as easy ways to steal vehicles? Burglars push out key to steal cash BURGLARS searched a house and stole cash after opening a door by pushing a key out of a lock.Police said thieves used a stick in the keyhole.

bamber 128 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Well I have finally given up on the Evening Post's nottinghampost.com website. It is impossible to navigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,450 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 You're not the only one. The biggest irritation for me is that everything is so big and in-yer-face that it's almost impossible to read anything there. It's like a simplified version of The Sun. Which I didn't think would be possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,450 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 That's intelligent compared to a lot of the stuff they print. Â It's usually stories about women not being allowed in a Gregg's shop because their kids were making too much noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,302 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Why is that in the news at all? What's newsworthy about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,450 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 That's one reason I don't pay much attention to the NEP website. Their idea of what constitutes 'news' is certainly different to mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
