Brew 5,419 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Mary and her quiz set me thinking. Threatened to do this awhile back and never got around to it. The pictures are all clocks in and around Nottingham, you've all seen them - but where are they? Two easy ones to start... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 286 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks Mary1947, enjoyed the quiz, got about 14 correct, would have been about 9 prior to joining this site however. Wasn't Tommy Lawton renowned for his heading ability? certainly gave me a headache, that one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 That chip shop off Vernon Road & Vicky Centre clock, forgot it’s name? that mechanical one. Yesterday under that Zara/Boots clock was a young girl with all her belongings living in the doorway Mrs Red thought she had a baby with her, sad to see, still bothering me, can’t even look after our own. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 @radfordred Are there good support centres/churches/hostels in Nottingham who will help homeless people? I hope so for the sake of the young girl you saw yesterday.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,419 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 You're spot on again RR Re; the girl in the doorway I hope she goes to the council, I'm told Nottingham CC now has enough accommodation for all itinerants. Clocks again, sorry they are so small. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
