Yeah proper appreciate the invite and being able to give the city a fair look round 👍

@@wanderingturnip Great video, David. Delighted to meet you at the Olde Trip. Rob's parents

You Should be a tour guide, you're great.

Great video David,glad you gave Nottingham another look over,well done Rob for the tour guide, it's nice to see someone who is obviously passionate about their heritage and where they live, beautiful church 😊 it's amazing what a bit of tlc and sandblasting can do 😂 I love stained glass so the news that a video about it is going to be on made my day! Thanks David and Rob 👍💜

you did a great job showing the beauty of our city and explaining some of the history!! cheapest houses in Nottingham sounds like a fascinating topic, let me know if you want to do that with me sometime!

Thanks Maria. That's actually St Mary's Church, High Pavement, and our diocese cathedral is in Southwell about 10-15 miles NE of Nottingham. That's also well worth a visit.

@@Arctic_Fox_NFFC St Mary's is a 'big' church ;) l'm sure the Cathedral is impressive.

@@mariadange06 As mentioned I was in the choir for the best part of 10 years, the church started off black then turned brown. Rather proud of the old thing.

Nottingham does have a Catholic cathedral just outside the city centre on Derby Road.

I'm pretty sure Nottingham's Cathedral is by Playhouse mate!! It's not much to look at even compared to the one shown in the video but it is still our Cathedral.

I think security in the Victoria centre shot themselves in the foot. How stupid of them to throw him out rather than accept the free publicity. It doesn't sound very welcoming. If I'm ever in Nottingham I won't be going there.

Always look forward to your videos ❤

​@@KenFullmanThe Vic Centre is a shit shopping centre anyway, just another generic Intu.

Since the Tory government cut funding for councils, its led to the general decay of city centres. Excellent channel though which serves to highlights the many issues

Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Yeah absolutely I always try to be fair so glad I got invited back

It was kinda funny... Watching him get SO close but yet so far from what I consider Nottingham's good bits...!!!

@@RamblesBrambles you cant just go to some closed shops and say this is what this city is like, to be balanced you should show whats actually there.

He knew there were great parts of Nottingham, he chose to omit them. Really poor on his part.

@@RamblesBrambles mate I see this sort of thing everywhere, even in supposedly affluent areas. If you don’t think the High Street and brick and mortar retail in general is in decline, maybe you should look around more.

Don't go using word like eloqent! Kidding. :) Aint milk, brilliant!

Plenty more handsome men like that here too :)

Ah fellow man of culture I see.👍 I'm so glad someone else knows this classical Greek factoid about our Lions 🦁

Ah this is brilliant. I didn't know this about our lions! Thank you for teaching me :)

Its a great pity that they both appear so dirty. I remember the days when they were pristine and we had a Council House that was the envy of the country. Nottingham then lived up to the Title "Queen of the Midlands" Born and bred in The Old Meadows and still here .

One of the places you could have visited 15 mins walk out the city is greens windmill. 217 year old building with so much history.

@@royhardy407 I taught for a year at Trent Bridge School in the Meadows. I ran a cycling club and exhausted the boys so much that they did not have the energy to cause any trouble. I also taught at Lowdham Grange borstal institution.

Sheffield is the same

Not forgetting the 1 Billion(yes,1 Billion) cut in funding from central government under the Tory government!…….

@@vanzandt8809 Sheffield is a lovely city with great locals once you get away from the city centre high street.

Nottingham Labour city council are quite possibly the most incompetent in the country. Now literally bankrupt after so many bad decisions. I would trust them to run a bath never mind a city.

BEST EFFORTS OF THE COUNCIL NOTTINGHAM COUNCIL ARE THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF CLOWNS IN THE WORLD

Spot on. I love how understated the people are. They just get on with business as usual

Hahahahahahahahahaha

So true, I grew up in Nottingham and now live in Derby, for my sins...most of the time I go out I hop over to Nottingham anyway!

Grew up in Derbyshire, and Derby was 'the city' we went to. As an adult, I always think Derby squandered every opportunity to be another Nottingham/York. A flat, historic city, surrounded by gods country on all sides. It has the bones for it. It's already a transport hub, basically every train ever goes through Derby station - but all for naught, because its all charity shops, barbers and shitty chain bars. Living in Nottingham, I can go to 10 bars and not have been in a single chain pub/green king etc. In derby, that might be impossible. I don't know what the Derby city council are smoking but it's some bad shit for the last 30 years. Then the racists.... My god. Went there with some friends, never before seen the abuse they got for being 'foreigners'.

Born in Derby and moved to Nottingham when I was 10. Best move we ever made! I still work in Derby and it still has a place in my heart but compared to Nottingham...

Well said, Lynda! 👏

Absolutely agree, well said.

'Highlighting the ruination of our high streets'? Wandering around saying "there's an empty shop" and "there's another empty shop" isn't going to bring any of them back. Hats off to him for making a go of it but it's pretty empty content.

@@dalefc9331 Huh. How is it empty? If so, why are you watching?

Brilliant, it's videos like urs that bring awareness to the masses! The state of the country is a horrible shame! Always great content 👍 hope you're well in mind body soul 🙏🏻

All shops buy as cheaply around the world as they can.

@@davidscott3292 only to a certain extent

Debenhams and primark coexisted on the same high street for many many years.

@laurengurpreet You could say that about any shop vs primark it's means nothing

Primark did not do the same things as Debenhams, Debenhams made clothes for old people and overpriced dipping oils let’s be real.

You legend. Hat tip o7

As teenagers we used to drive from London to Nottingham at the weekends just to party. I know Rock City well. Had great pubs too as you say. But it ain't the best place to see a band. You obviously never went to the Marquee. That was my favourite place anywhere to see a band. Rock City was good though. But it still ain't the Marquee...

@@topcatdog-bq1uy You're right, mate, never went there. I just saw many great gigs at Rockers that it's difficult to dislodge it from my heart as my favourite. All down to personal experiences, eh? For the record I used to travel down from the North to gigs at the Astoria, now there's a venue I miss... 🙃

@@eugeneshadwell6596 I also used to go to the Astoria a lot back in the day. The Marquee, the most famous music club in the UK, was only a few doors down from it.

@@topcatdog-bq1uy Isn't it now a Wetherspoons? Or is that a different incarnation, I believe the Marquee name had a couple of different addresses?

@@eugeneshadwell6596 I don't know what it is now. But it really wouldn't surprise me if it was a Wetherspoons. That's how far this country has sunk! But it was in several places yeah. I only knew it from the time it was on that street. And I can't believe I've forgotten the sodding name of it! At the very end of Oxford St. Charring Cross Rd? Tottenham Court Rd? Whatever. I think I only like it really cos I saw my fave gig ever while being able to drink a beer. That and the history I guess? Even though this place weren't the original it was still a great place. After that it moved a few doors down from Springfellows. Can't even remember where that is but I did pop my head in briefly and take a walk around when it was closed. It looked OK. But at the end of the day it's the music that does the talking and I never saw any gigs there.

@Paxanglorum depends on what you want I guess! the barrel drop is a fav, though it is tiny and quiet. Lots of very good beer, though. :) The Pit and Pendulum, Horn in Hand, Ye Olde Trip, Kean's Head...

The pit and pendulum and horn in hand what memories 😂😂😂

Trip+salutation +bell Inn go back around 800yrs,the Cosy Club is huge victorian deluxe pub&in the 60s was HQ for lord aitken who owned many pubs,properties& clubs in Nottingham& who with other landlords stopped the Krays taking over Notts night life etc. Angel microbrewery is a victorian ex chapel-pub fair priced allround independent pub+ castle rock brewery has 60 real ale live music pubs locally&a big brewery-live venue at the vat& fiddle pub nr the train station& ironically next door to the HMRC tax HQ.You havent made it in the UK as a major chef unless you have a restaurant here& our vgood nightlife all attracts students& stag-hen parties from across the east mids+many visitors from Texas. Beside the universities & nightlife, boots still has a huge factory that sprawls along the canal-riverside in between many trees,boots& lace meant more women who were often the bread winner, thou male female demographics are more balanced these days

​@samoc235 pit and pendulum is the go to for my group.

The tradition still stands to this day.

Yes, met a few young ladies either at the lions or the water clock in the Vick Centre in my day, before going to the old Flying Horse or the Palais De Dance.

@@comicmania2008 It is so sad that the Palais de Dance which in my day had been renamed Ritzys and later became the Palais again , then Oceana and finally Pryzm recently closed down . Such a big building lying unused .

​@@ChrisCrossEatsSomeMossMmmmmm....I don't think so, it's too easy to be running late nowadays with the invention of the mobile phone. If you weren't at "Left Lion" on time we'd all gone 👋🏻

Which ground are we taking him to? PS He is from Rugby League country

@@Arctic_Fox_NFFC Toton... lol

But its not really celebrated properly other than a statue so tourists have nothing to really see

@earlbee3196 he still has family members employed at the local council building - goes by the name of robin bastards!

@@muckle8lol 🙂

@@JoolsUK got it. thanks.

Nottingham Council never did anything to bring Tourists in..(Brian Clough Did !! ). All the Hollywood Films of Robin Hood....and Nothing in Nottingham about him...A Legend as he and Promoted Worldwide....would bring in Millions of much needed cash..

What band were you in, if you don't mind my asking? Might've seen you play live....

I hope you have a great time on your next trip to Blighty. As I am sure you realise there is great deal to see and so much history and variety in what is a relatively tiny island that has had a big impact on the world.

@@neilboulton9813 Thanks! I'm over evry year and this time I'll bring the full force with wife and kids.

Hi James. Hope you keeping well. Will be in The Roebuck on St James Street (A Spoons) this weekend lol!

@@royhardy407 Hey Roy,thanks for your message,have a pint for me mate

I'm on @ForestFanTV if you really want more 🙂

Aha, yup just as I did too the other day - does make me feel bad for Derby mind! We can't have nice things...

I remembered Selectadisc but remember Arcades Records - they had some great stuff back in the 80s and 90s

Great shout. If Turnip is really into records he should have gone to Rob's record shop.

​@jasonclifford925 Wow, Rob still has his shop? Is it still in Hurt's Yard? He must be getting on a bit now lol. I used to go there quite a lot in the mid- to late-'90s. Rob used to hook me up with some rare electro and hip-hop joints!

@@linndrumfan1959 yep, still there, saw him about a month ago. A proper legend.

@@jasonclifford9252 Thanks for the reply. That's good to know.

In theory the Guild Hall is intended to be sold off as a luxury hotel. Plans seem to be in early stages.

You can catch more of him if you don't mind Forest content, on Forest Fan TV, usually on the Grumpy Old Reds segment. Rob'sa good 'un.
