replied on: 9/15/2005 10:07:13 AM The Queens Head hasn't changed exterior wise, but it has been an Indian Restaurant for quite a few months-supposedly quite good too. The chip shop on Roper Ave was known as Scotch Corner for at least 15 years -it was run by a Scotsman-and eventually a sign was put up officially calling it Scotch Corner-a really good chippy, but it only opened a few nights a week.It closed a while ago-pizzas and chinese food seem to be more "British" now than the good old chippy. |

replied on: 9/16/2005 11:33:05 AM I don't know, Ice. As soon as us ex-pats vacate the area, you let it go to pot. Start a petition in the name of real chips being for sale once again. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/16/2005 9:41:11 PM I honestly didn't know that buses from Heanor don't run through Marlpool to Nottingham anymore. Pathetic. It sounds like a case of all change at Ilson? Azzabuv. |
