catfan 14,793 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sure do Oz, NEP were always arrogant sods,now bombard everyone with pop up ads, tears ago it was unsolicited phone calls day & night to get us to sign up for paper deliveries, anyone else remember that ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody 549 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Oh yes. They didn't respond to the polite refusal so in the end a more forceful answer was needed. The website is pathetic in so much as the pop ups are over the top, the page jumps about as you navigate and stories are not updated regularly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I never thought that the NEP's website could get any worse... but it has. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 With reference to #884, whereby I mentioned greedy and unscrupulous record companies have released an absolute deluge of inferior stuff by the Allman Brothers, and Gregg himself since his tragic death a couple of months ago. I now notice that EBay is becoming swamped with people trying to make a killing on CD's , T shirts, and other assorted memorabilia. T Shirts that several weeks ago were a few pounds, people are now asking between £400-600. Cd'sthat were under a tenner are now offered at £20+. I'm so glad I purchased an old Gregg A T shirt for £12,and a Brothers one for £13 a week before Greggs death. As for CD's I've virtually got them all unless something 'new' has been released in the last few minutes. Someone once told me when I first started work that 'Nothing should stand in the way of making money '. On the whole, I agree, but there is a limit ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 #911 these t-shirts maybe £400 quid but is anyone buying them at that price? The highest price sold t-shirt was £58 most sold around the £13.99 mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Too often I have seen large photos of clothing items displayed in department stores but the item shown in the photo is nowhere to be found in the shop. This week saw the photo of very smart jacket. Could not find it on the rails so I asked an assistant (yes I did manage to find one) who was very helpful and looked for the jacket on the computer. It was not there in the stock lists! No record of the jacket so it could not even be ordered online! It is little wonder that this particular store is reporting falling profits. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Noticed at the Toton tram terminus this afternoon, that there are about 20 very large travellers / pikeys / gyppo's caravans parked on the NET car park. Now let's not hear any hand wringing crap about these poor folks being homeless. They have large 4x4's, massive pick-ups, and luxury cars. No bangers there. All expensive stuff, yet they constantly bleat on about being deprived and penniless. Utter twaddle. I sincerely hope that first thing on Monday morning, the Broxtowe Council bulldozers are suitably deployed ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 No, no children, this is not being politically correct. Don't forget these poor under represented itinerant people who have to lie, steal & cheat to make ends meet every day. Need all the help they can get. ! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 These travellers were parked on Lenton Abbey park, last week, they just seem to move from 1 site to another. The park is still closed due to the clean up operation. It is about time that the government, sorted this problem out, as well as squatting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Exactly Ray..... They pay absolutely zilch into the running and upkeep of the country, so why the hell should they believe that they are entitled any subsidies, handouts or free facilities. Turn the water cannons on them.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just been on the post website, travellers have pitched up in a park in Gedling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 It amazes me they all have caravans or motor homes, there are plenty of caravan sites all over the country, why don't they use them? I would like to see what happens when a law abiding citizen parks his touring caravan, on a public park, the pcsos would have a field day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 There'd be police back up, the Civil Defence, The SAS, the marines, a couple of tanks, the Texas Rangers, Canadian Mounties, the French Foreign Legion, Mossad. Every misguided buffoon who's ever shown concern for them. As you say, it should be the Governments responsibility. Confiscate their goods if at all possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Had a run in with some travelers a couple of years ago in morrisons car park bulwell, they were threatning to run me down on the zebra crossing, so naturally stood my ground on the crossing,and held everone up, the idiot driving the 4x4 kept reving the engine and shouting he was going to beat me up,or words to that effect, lol, Went to his half open door and told him, I'll be having breakfast in the cafe,so please come to me and we'll discuss your problems mate, he roared off shouting and threatening to park his 4x4, i saw 2 or 3 coppers going into the store for their breakfast in the staff canteen,so i related what had occured, cut a long story short,they threatened to arrest me for racial language, i had referred to them as gypos, says it all really don't it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 They always have large modern caravans and expensive 4x4's. I don't know how they earn a living if they're always travelling. I think the police are wary of confronting them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wonder if they would challenge the law, if they had to pay for the solicitors instead of using legal aid. Do you think that I am daft or stupid, by camping on a public park, what harm am I doing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
