bamber 128 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Call me a cynic but does Nottingham need yet another hotel. appartment and retail development? And this time in the middle of downtown nowhere. Just up the road is the old Sneinton Wholesale Market. When that was refurbished the promoters claimed it would become Nottingham's equivalent of Covent Garden. Mmmmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Why lets have another waste of money venture this is to distract what is proposed for the banks of the Trent on the embankment. While travelling the world more or less every city I have been to has it’s own city tower so why don’t we then? Still time to make some adjustments to the planes to stick a revolving restaurant up there, now that would be worth the £2-50 bus fare to see. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZZER 10 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Evening Post ????? Are they still going ? Over the past 24 months, I've sent 14 e-mails and 4 faxes to various departments. Not one was ever replied to. I wrote to the editor to complain and he/she said that it must be a 'one-off' as they always reply (or acknowledge) correspondence. Both just before my recent visit & just after, I have again sent e-mails,,,, but again,,,, no reply,,,, (must be another one-off !?) Most of this was to enquire about advertising, in various sections, to which I thought they'd jump at the chance for a few quids worth of business. Obviously a waste of time,,,,, won't bother again.

bamber 128 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Millionaire Chek Whyte fights bankruptcy amid £30m debt crisis !! Barred for ten years from being a company director in 1999 and all kinds of allegations about his business activities. A google search quickly reveals allegations of further links with companies operating property frauds and other scams. And a quick google of Evening Post articles about the man also reveals a lot of extremely positive coverage - which may or may not have something to do with paper's advertising links with the city's property sector. My hunch is that there could be a lot of fall out from the collapse his tower of cards; involving politicians (he was on City's promotional yacht in the south of France) and the local media.
