admin 21 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 You mean its NOT the Veritas Headquarters up in sunny Cotmanhay! Here is an account of the area prior to the arrival of Veritas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tutanic 8 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I was under the impression that the Veritas office was on Nottingham Road in Ilkeston. The shop has just been re-painted. I now know why he frequented a well known fish and chip shop in Ilkeston. Very secretive... A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest scooterboy Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Nah just go down there alot for hols. We got a bit of family down there. 4 maybe 5 times a year plus my work takes me that way a few times. Ilko i dont know what Kilboy thinks now they've taken the bollards away and relaced them with ramps so the peaked capped twokers can now jump further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ilkolad 9 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 :D Flipping ek, i've just read that report, and i thought Sawley was bad..LOL once you've got the razor wire adjusted right, and provided you only go out during the alloted hours then Cotmanay ain't such a bad place! it's those people that try to push the boat out and try be different, you know the type I mean, the ones with fancy double glazing, and well cut lawns, they're just asking for trouble! as long as you know the rules and keep your nose clean then the place has a certain charm and piquance, I was only saying the other day to Kilboy Smirk how the place had improved since the fitting of those no-go bollards on Church street, and how considerate it was of the council to think of the Cotmanhay residents in protecting them from those rude and often brash outsiders! ilko.

Tutanic 8 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Is it some sort of sea water reclaiming thingy that puts water into the agricultural land in Scotland? Anything to do with the Forth Bridge, when you get to the end there is a bit missing and you fall into a pond? A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
