MargieH 7,617 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 No snow at all here!  It’s just very cold.  Maybe - as my mum often said - it’s too cold to snow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 It will freeze tonight and I should be able to see the tracks of who is eating the food I put out. Hedgehog or fox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,794 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Plenty of snow in Woodthorpe Park today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 827 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Is Leabrooks still there i went to Alfreton High School the MGO C5 bus went through Leabrooks the bus stop was at 'Doctors Corner' next stop was Somercotes. It took about 45 minutes from the 3 Ponds pub at Nuthall to the Aertex factory at Alfreton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yes, Leabrooks and Somercotes are still there. Somercotes cordoned off last week due to a serious assault in, of all places, the Co-op! Someone pinched someone else's Divi number, I think. Sadly, one person has died of their injuries so it is now a murder enquiry.  Somercotes has changed. The factories, including Viyella, are gone and replaced with the ubiquitous and predictable McDonald's, Aldi and The Range. Probably looks better when it's covered in snow! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 827 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Nothing seems the same anymore Jill i just can not imagine getting assaulted let alone dying over Divi number. That is all they need is Mcdonalds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,462 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I think the divi number was a somewhat facetious remark, well below JS usual quality postings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,386 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Facetious? Me? Come now, I wouldn't know the meaning of the word. I don't honestly know what the incident was about except that it involved four men in the Co-op and one later died of injuries sustained.  Somercotes, sadly, is no stranger to murders. Some years ago, a young woman of oriental connections was brutally murdered on what had been the site of the Viyella factory, standing derelict and overgrown at the time. I believe someone was brought to book for that but it took some time to track him down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
