ah, yes that was an imposing sight that prison.

Rampton is or was a high security prison with mostly hospital wings, mind you that was a few years ago now.

Yep that's the type of criminal they used to house. That and serial killers etc. That's why we were told if the alarm goes, someone has escaped so get back home.

I like Lincoln Expecially at xmas.........when they have their old fashioned fares and stalls on in the streets and all the stall holders dress up in old fashioned cloths, very hilly cobbled streets AWE!!!

I can't remembe going into Lincoln but I suppose we did at some time. I remember Newark that is a pretty place and my last trip before we came home. They moved after that and I got older so didn't want to go on hols with my parents

I dont think i have ever been into Newark usually bypass it on the way to London, bit ignorant really of the sth side

I used to work with the head pysh lead at rampton.

Rampton is a Medium - high security psyh hospital prison. Only psych inmates allowed.

yes thay have ad somebad transfer over the past few years. But they are very good at keeping the inmates in. Unlike low to medium security psych hospitals....i could tell you a few stories lol!!!

It was about 35 years ago that I was there last, I think they used to say about the siren to get us home early in the night

Just had a quote off Foxes removals in the Uk to ship my stuff back, and for 700cubic ft they have quoted me £4800 groupage..........My problem is i used them to ship to Canada and for the same 700cubic ft groupage they charged me £2300

Their excuse when i queried this was the fuel prices :curse:

I know exactly where Norton Disney is. I have been there a few times.

Love Lincoln, I live there for 2.5 years. I met my husband there.

PS Lincoln is much nicer than Newark.

I can remember que's as far down the A15 as Caenby Corner, with people heading to the Xmas markets in Lincoln

busterboy

It always shocked me how many people will killed in car accidents around there. There wasn't a lot ot have an accident with.

sans

Its a very long single lane rd with lots of bends, with that and impatient drivers, and lots of lorries coming off the M18 heading into Lincoln........its a recipe for accidents.

busterboy

Maybe I was too sensible a driver to contemplate disaster.

I used to joke that there must be a magnet attached to my bumper because in Lincolnshire there was always some ass attached to the back of my car.

I worked for LCC and travelled to Horncastle and Louth a lot and Skeg occasionally. I used to love the trip to Skeg, cue maniac overtaking, extra points if blind bend or summit and extra extra points if in the fog or wet.
