    Andy's Driving videos around Derbyshire, UK :
    Are you an ex-pat of Derbyshire, feeling homesick? Or perhaps you just want a clear way of giving someone directions to a location in Derbyshire or just want to show people your village. Well in this video and the many others I have made, you will be able to take a virtual drive around the streets as though you were in the driving seat. I use a dash-mounted camera, Traffic lights and heavy traffic have been edited out.

    Lived there as a kid, so much has changed. There no no metal shutters on shops, no KFC and less "to let" signs. Our towns and cities change, that's inevitable but a lot of the change is for the worse and we let it happen. Thanks for the video, watched it at 1/4 speed.....DA.

    Thanks for that. I enjoyed your trip though felt uneasy passing through junctions as I couldn't check that there was no traffic coming in from your right hand side. This must have been a Bank Holiday as your description says it was a Monday but there are no cars parked on the left hand side of Derby Road outside the Moore's Dental Practice. Good work. Well done.

    Hey, good video! It's funny how I've lived in Derby all this time and never been to Long Eaton until we went to see the fireworks at West Park. It's bigger than I thought it would be as well

  • @comedyhunter
    @comedyhunter  15 лет назад

    Yes people often think that, Wikipedia says....
    It is a common misconception that Long Eaton is part of Nottinghamshire. The reason for the NG prefix in the postal code is that all mail for Long Eaton first goes to the Royal Mail's Nottingham sorting office in Beeston.
    Long Eaton borders Nottinghamshire but is actually situated in the County of Derbyshire. Most residences however have a Nottingham address with the Nottingham postcode prefix NG, and use the Nottingham telephone area code 0115.

    Interesting video I spent a lot of my youth in Long Eaton, don't think I could live there again though. I have always been abit of a grass is greener kind of person. Better to go somewhere new to shake things up abit. Many memories nevertheless

    Damn. So much has changed since then. The Royal Oak pub no longer exists, neither does that petrol station that was next to it, there's now a Sainsbury's, the Victoria inn is no longer an inn, the cinema is shut down and is all boarded up. Quite sad now I think about it 😂😂

    Derbyshire can also be used in the postal address in place of the Posttown Nottingham, if the Postcode is used. Some good videos, backed by a good choice of music.

    Yes its odd when you see someone else drive a route as they don't turn when you expect them to. Do you understand those back to front speed cameras?
