There as a great tramp who played xylophone in the market square in the 90s. Although he only played 'Oh when the saints' and never made it to the last note- got annoying after a while!!!

Absolute legend.

The good beer is up around Canning Circus.  

Room with a Brew on the way up Derby Road, the Sir John Borlase Warren at the top, the Falcon next door, and the Organ Grinder (Blue Monkey pub)just 50m down Alfreton Road. Follow it with a brilliant kebab at Tipoo further down on the right, proper sit down job and posh for a kebab joint. 

There  are loads of poncey craftbeer places charging an arm and a leg for just 2/3 of a pint of gassy too cold 'so called' craft beer. This grumpy old git usually avoids them 

If you are into real ale you owe it to yourself to visit the King William IV in Sneinton. Owned by the guy who started the real ale scene in Nottingham nearly 20 years ago.

Sounds good @hywelg depending what free time I get in the evenings. Tonight is certainly a homework night in the hotel.

Well I saw absolutely nothing of Nottingham except from my hotel (The Belfry) and the commute to the course!
Got bored of the hotel menu after a few nights so I did take a quick drive out to Kimberley to get a Hot Shot pizza from Mansouri's which was rather tasty. 

I should work for Lonely Planet.

Is he the one who checked my Scottish £20 note to see if it was real money?

Was he a tall guy with glasses, quite well built? If so it could well be lol.
