    The Post House in Stafford

    In fact you could stop cooking and selling drinks and spend your time answering comments on forums, tripadvisors, twitter, facebook etc etc. Strange that because Posthouse don't comment they get slagged off. As if some are happy for a new business to fail. Then wll complain about 'empty buildings.'

    They were running public tours of the building some months ago i think. May be should have waited until it was all ok. Is there an update on when it will all be finished? Do you think contractors will go bust having to spend so much manpower, resources without getting any more money

    Just had another read of the online story. A whole story based around the 'mystery disappearance' of traffic wardens. then at the end there's a quote from council which says... "While the county council was investigating whether the signage met the guidelines we decided it wasn’t appropriate to...

    Strangely enough my cat was also put off by this poor quality reporting and has decided to poo elsewhere. I interchange litter tray with free Express and star and occasional Newsletter. I will let her be the judge...although she is worryingly comfortable with Jeremy Clarkson's column in The Sun

    Staffordshire Newsletter

    I read the front page story of the newsletter this week...then stumbled across this on their website. Surely either the paper or the rent a quote shopkeeper realise what was published just a few weeks before. Some of the quotes below - felt sorry for traffic wardens as seems they just can't win...

    I think it's looking worse than when I posted early last month. The other thing that occured to me is that although contractor is footing bill, how much money are SCC losing from not have let the shops that were supposed to be underneath. They must have put in a budget for that revenue and...

    Eat there last weekend early evening. Fine. Very quick service. Meal was ok. Beers were cheap. I was happy.

    Littleworth grass tennis courts closed - April 2012

    Were they actually being used though? I often find they are used by a few die-hards and not the 'potential' wimbledon champs (although for the couple of weeks of Wimbledon everyone wants a game.) Grass courts have such a limited season.....unless you can put a roof on them! I remember our school...

    the court of public opinion

    No problem with tough sentences but would like to see some consistency. Not just taking the hardline because the case is in national news. And get things in perspective. I might be old fashioned but if there were a choice, I'd rather someone racially insults me on twitter than thumps me. A...

    the court of public opinion

    I read / hear of many of cases of thefts, assaults, frauds, vandalism where those with plenty of previous offences get sentences other than prison. Then there is a stupid student who writes vile racist stuff on twitter about an injured footballer, a first offence I believe, and gets a couple of...
