Scorrano Light Show 2015
Every year, the town of Scorrano, near Otranto in Puglia, Italy stages an amazing display of lights. This is to mark their Patron Saint's day. Santa Domenica.
The town has become known for its lights, and the companies that make them compete to produce the most spectacular show. They are huge structures running the length of streets and fitted with hundreds of thousands of computer controlled lights.
The July evenings finish with firework displays that add to the spectacle.
It seems that few people outside Italy have discovered this phenomenon - yet. There were very few non-Italians in a crowd of thousands that was growing as we had to leave.

Epson Printer

It wouldn't be so bad if this was the first time an Epson printer had misbehaved but after years of brand loyalty this is the second one to turn bad on me in the space of a few months. There was only one thing to do - get even. Fortunately there was a nice,solid, stone wall to hand.

That clock was part of my childhood growing up in Nottingham. It’s so lovely to remember that tune and all the animals twirling round. I used to stand and watch it, fascinated for ages. As I became a teenager, it was the perfect meeting place. Glad it was restored but very short sited to have it upstairs at the back of the Vic Centre. Looks so much more dramatic when you look at it from the upper floor as well.
I wish I could see more of his machines !
Loved the place.... While Studying at NTU...Only weekend destination❤ I had... Want it back ❤🙏
I was in Nottingham for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago and went to finally seek put the clock and was so disappointed that it wasn’t working at all 😫 Maybe it doesn’t run on a Sunday?
Live action Wacky Races
Loved this and makes me miss my childhood home. If you just came to see the chime it’s about 4.25 in to see it start.
Cool
I haven't been in the Vic Centre for a few years, but last time I was in there this beautiful art timepiece had been shifted upstairs to the back end towards the bus station. Such a shame, because that part of the VC is the arse-end of nowhere to be frank. Its rightful place is downstairs near the front of the building at the heart of the footfall. Anyway thanks for the upload, brings back some happy memories from the 70's and 80's.
Fantastic √
I enjoyed driving Austin seven car all my life .I learnt driving on this car at the age of seven from my father Dr . T . Ramachandra Rao who was very fond of this car .He practically owned it and self driven it for almost 50 long years .I cannot never forget this wonderful dream car .
Wonderful!
Spoiler, they broke it.
the only Austin I have seen in USA is an A35. :)
Ever seen a Nash metropolitan? That has an Austin engine.
I wonder if my old Austin Ruby saloon is still around. Reg DXO 962.
Sadly no record with the DVLA or the Austin Seven Clubs' Association. There's always the possibility that it has been re-registered with another number plate, or exported.
replacing the water movement with an electric quartz one is not restoring it, it's ruining it.
Rather an unfair and inaccurate comment. When Emett built the clock the waterwheel was driven by an electric motor. At some time in the past the motor burnt out and, rather than replace it, someone decided it would be a good idea to bolt aerosol can caps into the flower heads and turn the water pressure up so that it would turn the wheel. The result was that water splashed everywhere causing a great deal of corrosion damage. When we restored the clock we replaced Emett's original motor and reversed all of the changes that others had made so that it was as close to the way Emett intended as possible. The only change is that we decided not to reinstate the water supply to the bouquet in the centre as this had also suffered badly with corrosion. 'Electric quartz'?
@@canonvela People usually leave a discussion once their points have been countered.
smh why they gotta do that
I remember this was exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum when it first opened in the mid 1970's. I am SO HAPPY I found this again..I was 11 years old at the time when I first experienced M.A.U.D. and I couldn't get enough! Thank you for posting this!
Before it was re-installed in the Victoria Centre, the clock was restored, replacing the parts that had been lost over the years and repainted in the way Emett had originally intended.
Tim Griffiths did u know there’s a myth that it went to derby
Needs more coaches to accomodate standard class

Hi, Can I please use this video in the Notts TV News bulletin this evening?
Enchanting & gorgeous!
I remember seeing this as a kid and it left such a strong impression on me. I love the squirrels! I also recall it playing music called Pieces de Clavecin : Suite in E minor : IV Gigue en Rondeau by Jean-Phillipe Rameau.Thanks for the upload.
What fun! Wish we could get our 1901 Olds there someday.
Great enjoyable video. Left wondering why so many of the cars had registration numbers starting BS
Congratulations!!.. great video!
so many Curved Dash Oldsmobiles!
Each one sounds unique
