The Engineer 614 Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 I was on Notts TV this evening. The schedule says it was Episode 448. It should be on again at 10pm tonight (my bit around 10:45pm) and repeated: Tomorrow 9:00am (my bit around 9:45am) Sunday 9:00am (my bit around 9:45am). Monday 7:00am (my bit around 7:45am) Monday 8:00am (my bit around 8:45am) The Vic Centre management surprised me by presenting me with a really nice acrylic painting by local artist Molly Moss of me standing aside the clock (explains the request for a photo of me last year on one of the days I was there to fix it!)

Beekay 5,143 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Just watched your piece on Notts tv., Mr.Engineer, or may I now call you Peter? A most interesting film for this exile to watch. Also now to be able to put a face to a post. Now I know a tv personality. Can I have your autograph? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Engineer 614 Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 I had a phone call yesterday from Sonia Kataria (BBC online content) to chat about my involvement with the clock and she's posted this article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-68512528 Separately, I had a phone call from BBC Radio Nottingham and recorded something that will go out in their weekend bulletins (I didn't think to ask what time to listen) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Engineer 614 Posted April 17 Author Report Share Posted April 17 https://online.fliphtml5.com/ayxew/httu/#p=10 Should open Issue 66 of Nottinghamshire Aspect with an article about the Clock and Yours Truly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 @The Engineer Just read the article about the clock - very interesting… When I first saw the clock i was very young and believed it was driven by the water - like a water wheel - but after I’d left Nottingham around 1960, and later visited it, I studied it more closely and decided it must have a motor. well done for maintaining it so well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,416 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 I always thought it looked a bit Heath Robinson and somewhat flaky in its construction so well done for keeping it going. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
