mercurydancer 1,104 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think its lies, lies and damned statistics. I work in Middlesbrough which is a really deprived area. I think its how you calculate the jobless. Frankly when I come to Nottingham I dont see anywhere near the levels of deprivation, violence, joblessness, crime or drug addiction that I am very well acquainted with in Teesside. Nottingham is a nice city! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 #24. Bilbraborn. I'll tell you where all the lockstitchers, machinists and overlockers went to. They all got the sack when Marks & Spencer decided to get its clothing made overseas, and the local factories went out of business. That's why you will never find me in M & S.

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What about all the other shops that sell foreign goods that were once made in the UK ? It's not just M & S. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 If we ever go to war with China the pound shops would be out of business in a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 It,s not just China but all the other countries in the far east where this country imports it's "stuff" from. And we are all to blame for this because we all want something on the cheap. None of my electrical stuff I have in my house was made in the UK except my coffee peculator which is now 16 years old Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,703 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Well I'm off to Nottingham on Monday to meet up with a mate,going on the train from Newark to Nottingham midland,looking forward to that, usual tourist stuff as Rob comes from Leicester so I'm going to be his guide, a case of the blind leading the partially sighted because I've not been back for a few years now, can you still get through that tunnel in the park area? if so how do I access it? I would like to take Rob there after a trip around the castle, can't do the caves with him because he suffers from claustrophobia, (typical Leicestershire) Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
