Bender Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I had a really loud horn on my Triumph Trophy 250 that was inscribed with the name Reliable Hooters of Wolverhampton. Coincidentally , according to TripAdvisor, the only remaining Hooters restaurant in the UK is in Wolverhampton. Before I moved from St Albans to Brighton I was considering Nottingham - the wife had gone to uni there and it had a good night life (shootings notwithstanding). We looked at a few places online, one of which was in a nice converted warehouse (as lots of the buildings there are) - had a nice shared pool etc. Anyway, we chose Brighton in the end, and a few years back at my late mate's stag (RIP Millsey - killed himself in a cbr125) we were in Nottingham, and went, inevitably, to Hooters. I thought I recognised the red brick block it resided in, and turns out I did - it was the same block I had considered moving to years ago!! Quite why they hadn't advertised the hooters below the apartment was beyond me - I'd have moved there in a flash and probably be living up north now.Anyway, unless something has changed I think there's still a Hooters in Nottingham. You're absolutely right , Nottingham is listed as the UK's only remaining Hooters . So where I got the idea that it was Wolverhampton I can't recall.Bet you feel like a tit now.Sorry couldn't resist.

Tankbag Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 The main prevention is don't sit so close to someone that you cannot see, and be seen, by their wing mirrors. I can confirm that an angry shouting scot makes them stop too however To be fair my mate was a car length ( ish) from the van & in panic was pressing his cancel indicators button so it was actually my Stebel that saved him. A car length behind a van with limited visibility isn't far enough. I agree, but, he who hasn't sinned cast the 1st stone I was a car length & a bike length away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
