Having read the posts from Fynger I'll just state that if Nottstalgia was an info Site only I wouldn't be logging in every day. In fact, I'd rarely log in at all. The previous posts have mostly agreed

While I largely agree with you. There is only so much Nottingham talk you can do. In my case based on a 25 year history. I can only say so much about Netherfield, Carlton, and Gedling along with my

Its great that future generations will learn much about the Nottingham of our day, I had'nt realised that from its inception thats all it was about,its obviously developed into what it is today by the

It's ironic that Fynger/Kevin's point rings..for me very true!!

Alas my Nottingham 'story' is over,I've shot from the hip,remarked off the cuff but always told the truth from my heart( hence no avatar) just me!

Not wishing to fall on my sword.. just to the chosen 'few' SLAN ABHAILE!!.

Fynger has a point. If a future researcher is faced with a mountain of waffle, with

say 4% useful information diffused among it, he`ll go elsewhere.

That's what Search Engines are for! Anyway who's to say what's waffle. And is the site only about developing a database of facts?

Waffle to one person is a mine of information to another. Someone's so called ultra intelligent writings can be totally boring to someone else. That's life. We've just got to get on with it.

I was born 1949.

The world got meaner.

Govt's got meaner.

People got meaner and more self centred.

Thatcher was mean, and encouraged meanness.

See wot I mean...?

Voltage is still around 240V. When we harmonised with Europe (much of which uses 220V), we agreed to say it's 230V with a tolerance of +10% and -6%. This means that we (UK) can still generate at 240V. The actual voltage will vary with overall network demands and the load on your 'leg' of the distribution system.

On the other hand, the national grid voltage may have changed in your lifetime. It was 132kV to start with in 1933, was upgraded to 275kV in 1950 and then to 400kV in 1965.
