FLY2 10,096 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 3,593 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 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 9,041 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 14,521 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 9,041 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
taxi ray 170 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 It reminds me of windows 7 or 10 with all the different sized tiles. I check the public notices, now and again, just being nosey. Checking them today I got all the notices for the country, you now have to pick that you are in The East midlands region, and then you have to pick which councils notices that you want to view. Before you just got all the notices for the Nottinghamshire area. Which was a lot more relevant. How long before they change the format again? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,521 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Tile sizes can be changed in Windoze Ray ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 #35 I try not to alter the settings in windows, I know what to do but it never seems to work out easy. I use windows 10 and I find it ok for what I need. I much preferred XP, and vista was ok for what I needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alan west 0 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 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 1,497 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 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
