Several villages in South Notts, which will be part of the expanded Nottingham city, have LE postcodes and Loughborough or Melton Mowbray in their official postal address. It may be an expedient for mail sorting, but it's bloody annoying when all your official documents, utility bills etc. appear to place you somewhere you don't really live and don't affiliate to.

Worksop is in Notts but has its own dialling code, and a Sheffield postcode. Other areas near Retford are closer to Doncaster than anything else.

Neither of those places will be in the new Greater Nottingham authority though

 

[valspoodle]

Just joining in. Our little village which is in SW Norfolk, has always has Thetford as it's post town, even before post codes, though it's miles away and now, since post codes, the code is Ipswich, even further away.

Never said they would

You must have a very easy life if you find that 'bloody annoying'

I wasn't going to join in- but now I will. I live in a village between Sheffield and Rotherham. Sheffield post-code (but tbf ALL of Rotherham has an 'S'). 0114-Sheffield phone number BUT we pay Council tax to Rotherham. I swear I can't cope, I'm going to burn the f@cking house down- that'll show 'em.

Some nice areas that way like Treeton, Todwick and Ulley

Things I find annoying:
1 our village has a lot of grass verges, and it boils my piss when folks - locals and visitors alike - park on the verges, specially when it is wet and they churn up the grass;
2 litter louts
3 people that don't understand the country code
4 folk who don't say good morning or afternoon when you pass them in the street
5 village Facebook groups where the 2 main topics of conversation are dog mess and what colour bin is out today?

Is that the one that sets out who gets to pick from the bowl of car keys first?

We went to a wife swapping party once.
I got a new hammer drill and a firkin of real ale.

(There has to be a future for me in stand up!).

In this case people stand up and leave when you start your act

I’ve never understood how you cannot get a direct train from Nottingham to Retford when they’re in the same county, you have to change at either Newark or Worksop.

.. and changing at Newark often involves a walk across the town centre between the two stations.

Nottm - for a big city - is actually not particularly good railway speaking. There's the line out to Newark and Lincoln and a few others but the main lines go up the East and West coasts - Newark - Retford etc will be on the ECML which largely follows the historic route of the A1

And Derby was the historic "railway town" of the East Midlands.
To get to Cornwall you used to have to get the Nottingham to Derby train, change at Derby and get the Cornishman for one of those great railway journeys, before changing at St Erth for St Ives.
Me and my mates used to love the summer holidays when we would all head for St Ives

I remember when all this was nought but fields.

Have they removed the glass from the boxes in Clough?
If so have they added more seats or is it to just to let the prawn sandwich brigade see how the peasants behave for a couple of hours?

Friday evening overnight train - no seats, little sleep. It was interesting going through Dawlish Warren at 3.00am when the tide was high.

Closing the Great Central Mainline between Nottingham Victoria and London (Marylebone) was the worst decision for Nottingham.

Train journey down there dreaming of meeting a bird with a great big massive bush.

Here in Burton we have a Derby postcode, Tamworth has a Birmingham postcode. They mean absolutely nothing apart from where the old major postal hubs were.

I’m in Swadlincote and I see more and more young Forest fans as we continue in the premier league. It’s why I think the new stadium development is so important. Whilst I’m born in Nottingham life has meant I moved away. Not that far though. And the city is a big pull over leicester and derby in many ways in terms laves like south Derbyshire
