FLY2 10,108 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Now don't you remember..... motorists are way down the list of priorities with the City Council. What about being stuck behind a truck vainly trying to negotiate a left hand turn at various junctions and having to take three attempts at it because it's so tight. I'm just glad I don't drive for a living nowadays. Truckers have my utmost sympathy these days. Just look at the news...... Oo ooh pile up in the M1...... Trucks involved. Must be their fault. Rubbish, it's invariably stupid inconsiderate motorists ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I often wonder where these people think the electricity to charge the batteries comes from, Oh I forgot it all comes from those 'windmill' thingy's.............. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can run various Ad-block programmes, but there is now a possibly decent alternative. Notts TV (the local station) have got a local news section on their website. I'm not guaranteeing it's perfect, but it can't be worse than the NEP. http://news.nottstv.com That's a refreshing news website. Thanks for the heads up. I may live miles away now, out in the land of carrot crunchers and Poles but I still like to see what's happening where I still call 'local' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Evening Post site have redesigned their format. At first glance the adverts aren't as annoying as they used to be; although it may be that I didn't get far enough. I'm not sure I like the new style; a bit too in-yer-face. http://www.nottinghampost.com/news/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tabbyoddsocks 28 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Can't say I'm very impressed with the new style Nottingham Post site either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 The NEP website is getting unusable, when will they ever learn that people will go elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Just looked at the new version again. I've now decided it's even more annoying than the old version. Everything being larger makes it even more difficult to navigate. I'll stick with Notts TV for local stuff, at least it's readable. https://nottstv.com/category/news/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alan west 0 Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Wouldn’t mind reading the old archives from the Nottingham Evening Post are they available anywhere to view other than the local history library trawling through tons of microfilm fills me with dread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Alan West you can view online old copies of Nottinghamshire papers here but the City newspapers only go up to the early 1950s at present . You can enter a search term here and get snippets but to read the full article you need a subscription . https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I can't guarantee it's good or interesting, but I recently came across this new website for local news. So far, I can't decide what I think of it. https://www.nottinghamworld.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 C-T, If they can spell and proof read and post new news then they're in with half a chance to beat the competition. Of course it could be Russian, Chinese or other similar controlled fake / distorted news or maybe an A.I text generator, we'll have to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Who proof reads, these days? Come to that, who can spell correctly? I'm appalled by the basic mistakes to be found on the BBC website nowadays. Clearly, no one proof reads their work. Spelling is abysmal. Often, the writer doesn't know the difference between there and their or as and has. A major culprit is 'benefitted' which is always being trotted out. As for the correct use of an apostrophe... No cha'nce. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
