    Leave or Remain?

    What I heard It’s the French company Gemalto. (Their headoffice is in Amsterdam but their Dutch as Camembert is Dutch). The British firm De La Rue (sounds really British...) lost the order. haven’t heard where they print the Passports. note: I think that this was the first and last time Bill...

    Water Level Monitoring Device

    The ten minutes interval is dictated by the available powersupply and the way electricity is produced. Live feedback and an interval of 5 seconds would be nice but will need a constant external powersupply. Or do they have both live feed and solarcells?

    Stafford is on FIRE! SP Fireworks factory ablaze on Baswich

    They will have been very busy preparing for bonfire night, and thus stocks would have been higher than usual.

    North Stafford Development.

    Just a smal question. Wouldn't the proposed route of HS2 interfere with these redevelopments? Or is the proposed route of HS2 the boundary? What about noise?

    Overgrown hedges in Forebridge

    It would be a very good idea to find out who owns that land. The metal fence still looks alright but without any maintenance it will rust, start hanging over and become a danger for people using that back lane. I would also like to point out that there is also some green hanging over the road...

    How CONTROVERSIAL (as mentioned by the staffordshire newsletter) was this debate? We all know the result before hand... We only get to hear their excuse...

    Staffordshire CC – Faulty Towers is now sinking?

    Also had a guided tour of the CC Offices. I did like the shower facilities for the employees who cycle to work. I didn't like the wedding chamber. Remembered me more like being a crematorium than somewhere to get married...although there was not enough room to fit a coffin.

    Apple iPad 3 with Retina Display

    With 3G you will have the option to have internet on the fly. Although it could be a pricy option depending on the mobile telephone provider you have. But there are also specific sim-only internet providers. And you will have one big smart phone... Without 3G you don't have this option and you...

    Beer....

    Isn't Guiness also known as Nigerian lager? Having tasted almost all Cornish beers in the last 12 years we have been on holiday there, I must say that Sharp's Doom Bar is one of the best. Although Sharp's have been taken over by Molson so it isn't actually real Cornish anymore. The nastiest I...

    Apple iPad 3 with Retina Display

    As I and my brother (Fonzie-NL) have had both iPad1 and iPad2, and now have an ipad3 each, we can say that we do not look at them as a gadget but as an handheld computer. The lack of Flash can be a downer. That's why you always need a proper computer to access flash sites. The retina display on...
