I just did a search under Danstar as I thought the Nottingham rang a bell.There are a couple of members here that use Youngs yeast, they've said it either was or had very similar characteristics to Nottingham yeast. IMO this yeast is excellent. (Not quite so good in bottles as it doesnt compact as well as some but if you pour carefully that's no big deal).
It's also apparently sold as Gervin English Ale Yeast, which I used pretty much as a standard dried yeast ti'll moving to ag.

When drinking the latter bottles is the usual procedure to leave (waste) a bit of beer in the bottom of the bottle to avoid transfering the sediment to your pint glass?

Pour clean what you can into the glass. Then take the bottle, swizz up the dregs, and it knock back yeast and all. It's good beer, and good yeast. Why waste it? It makes a grand tonic, full of B vitamins. Then drink the beer. In a certain Belgian bar, which happens to be the DeKoninck 'brewery tap', they serve the beer together with a shot glass of the brewery yeast. Knock back the yeast, drink the beer.
