Hi Chris, Lincoln has certainly changed a lot especially since the university arrive, Don't know whether that has been a good idea or not, I think the only thing that had improved is the night life, more pubs and clubs (when I was working on C.C.T.V.) and should think the same still applies, I have never ventured into to city in the evenings or even during the day as we tend to shop at the bigger stores where parking is plentiful. Yes, Lincoln has changed.My brother lives in Lincoln and he also has had some significant health challenges recently (is it a Lincoln thing). I visited him recently (staying at Hartsholme camping site); our first trip to Lincoln in a while - it's changed a bit!
Just now wondering what is going to happen when 2,000 odd illegal immigrant's come to Scampton, they will be able to roam where they like and I know from TV interviews that many people especially those living nearby the camp are not happy and even some have spoken out that they don't want them to be hanging about in Lincoln City Centre.
Thanks Allan and Ben, thought I would quickly drop in and see what is happening.All the best for a successful outcome, and that you both stay in good health afterwards.
Hope all goes well for you Nigel and you make a full recovery

Regards
Nigel.
