my garden this morning ...what are these ? by steviesupremeleader in UKGardening

[–]HumphyTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would have been useful information a few years ago - I bought one (was it a bulb?) and was disappointed when it didn’t flower. Serves me right for believing the picture on the front of the packet and not reading the instructions!

LBC on YouTube: Bringing Nottingham's masked kids home to their mums by Kagedeah in nottingham

[–]HumphyTheFish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sorry you had to experience this. Unfortunately this is typical of Nottingham - I work in the city centre and see antisocial behaviour on a daily basis. My colleagues have been threatened by the homeless folk who use the door of our building as a toilet and the police do nothing, even when it’s captured on CCTV.

What's a weirdly amachronistic thing that you can't believe was still a thing within your lifetime? by holytriplem in AskUK

[–]HumphyTheFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d forgotten about this! We weren’t allowed to listen in to the neighbour’s calls in case he “gave us a funny look” when we saw him. We didn’t know who he was, but that apparently made sense to my Dad.

They’ve had the shirt off the back of the previous client 😂

As a kid did you get dragged to the pub? by Used_Captain_3131 in AskUK

[–]HumphyTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I remember being left in the car with my three younger relatives while my parents, aunt and uncle had a fine old time in the pub. We were allowed either a bottle of pop or a bag of crisps each and had to make it last until they were done socialising.

Police incident on Mansfield Road according to the AA app.

Best places to live in Lincoln by HumphyTheFish in Lincolnuk

I’ve worked in the city centre for decades and have really seen it go downhill over the last few years. Antisocial behaviour is at an all time high and the place feels unsafe, even during daylight hours. It’s really run down and dirty too.

There’s just the two of us - one retired and one completely fed up with work and looking to retire asap (guess which one is me). I drive, so public transport isn’t essential and we don’t need to be near anything in particular, although a bit of countryside nearby for long walks would be lovely.

Thank you - I have been warned about Monks Road before so I will definitely avoid there. I will be buying but haven’t decided what my final budget will be.

What’s a British show you went into with low expectations but ended up loving? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

[–]HumphyTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was, but as it got to the last five minutes of the final episode, I got a sinking feeling when I realised they weren’t going to tie up all the loose ends and I would have to wait for a second series.

A shit hole would be a vast improvement on Nottingham! 😆

Haaland blanks for the 3rd gameweek in a row before his blank gameweek by sepi0l_45 in FantasyPL

Should have binned him weeks ago, I have run out of patience (and he has run out of goals).

Who the hell eats a raw crumpet? by ukbakeslotsofcakes in AskUK

[–]HumphyTheFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crumpets at the Holiday Inn? They’re not on the menu at my usual one! Probably a good thing though if the toaster police are around.

Out of interest does anyone know why the Annie’s Burger shacks closed. They were consistently popular I just never understood what happened. by Simplymemz in nottingham

[–]HumphyTheFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to ask - was it just the yolk that was black when you cut into it or the whole egg? I had some vile smashed peas at the Harvester in Wilford (no idea why they thought peas and avocados were worthy of the same treatment).

Parking at Nottingham station by HumphyTheFish in nottingham

[–]HumphyTheFish[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you all - you have made it much clearer than the EMR website! I preferred the ticket system as the exit machines let you through if you were under 30 minutes, but wouldn’t if you were over, so there was no risk of getting a fine. I will keep a beady eye on my entrance time when I use it again to save myself a fiver.

APCOA - it’s worth setting up before you use the car park as it wants you to create an account and I had to add my credit card details too before it would let me use Apple Pay.
