    Tradesmen turning down work? Isn't there a recession on?

    May i put forward another point of view in this conversation. I work for a builders merchant who does kitchens amongst other things. I mention kitchens because thats the side of the business i work in. We find that the client often loses the builders interest in various ways. Firstly, we get a...

    Is there anything left to privatise?

    Is there anything left to privatise? What about humans? Branding babies. 'This baby was brought to you by Stella Artois. Up against a Biffa bin.'

    Best place for the weekly shop.

    I shop at Sainsburys for two reasons. I don't drive so its easier to get to being the closest to me. The second reason is for the nectar points. I only have one critism i'd like to share. The tills. Whenever i go in the tills are often four deep. When they realise things are a bit daft they put...

    More Council stupidity over ancient signs.

    I'm aware of the sign. I don't see any harm in it being there. It seems sturdy enough. I've never seen it fall over. I guess the council operate on a different level to the rest of us. A level that is way, way out there.

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    Speaking personally. Stafford provides me with all the shops i need. I like to think i'm an average consumer. I spend my money fairly evenly between big name shops, independents and online. I'm someone who values the in stock factor. I'm willing to pay a little bit more something compared to...

    Coin mystery - Stafford

    Knowing some of the builders in and around stafford, they were probably trying to pay their bill! I thought i heard a loud creaking sound on my way in to work.

    Coin mystery - Stafford

    I have my own coin mystery. Went to work (a builders merchant) and had to wait outside as i arrived early. Look down and see that someone has thrown lots of coins all over our door step. The coins were all old farthings, shillings, six pences, half pennies and stuff like that. I scooped them up...

    Stafford Ale House

    The staff of the Ale House can kiss their money goodbye. My information is that two of the owners owe a silent partner a lot of money. The figure i've been told is around 30 grand. His hopes of seeing that money are fading with every passing day. Sad. So much for 'we're nothing like the last...

    J 14 Link Road closed next week.

    Well hang on a minute. I didn't say nottingham had fixed it problems. But they at least tried to do something about it. Traffic was worse before the changes they made, i can testify to that myself. But no where did i say that they fixed their problems. Staffordians seem content to moan about...

    J 14 Link Road closed next week.

    Well to make my position clear, i'm from Nottingham. About 10 years ago the council decided to completely over haul the entire road system in the city centre. Now yes, there was chaos. But even with every road in the city centre (a road layout that was based on an old system going back to when...

    J 14 Link Road closed next week.

    Lets face it. Congestion in stafford is not news. It's the status quo. Now if anyone decided to actually do something about our congestion problems that would be news.

    Is Fur Fair?

    I know someone will correct if i'm wrong and would expect nothing less. But i believe that the leather trade is a byproduct of the meat trade. However others may know whether or not live stock is reared just for their hide.

    Stafford Ale House

    I was one of the people who got ripped off when the pie and ale house shut down. The manager, i believe, took over the business with a friend of mine, Chris and reopened with the new name. Problem is the damage was done. I didn't get my money back along with a lot of other people. So maybe me...

    Gary McKinnon not to be extradited?

    This just highlights the problem of enforcing laws in an ever shrinking world. When you can commit a crime in America but actually be in Britain under whose jurisdiction does it fall under? But also does this case not set a worrying precedent? If you are facing trial just threaten to kill...

    Sports Direct Stafford - Stunned (in a bad way)

    I have witnessed shoddy customer service invloving my wife and Gamestation. I used to be a regular at Gamestation, went in weekly and was a recognised face. The guys who worked there knew that i own a lot of consoles including all of the current gen. Went in with my wife who wanted to play a...

    Home births in Stafford

    After my wife had our first child at the hospital we were told that she is a prime candidate for home birth. So i can only assume that they do home births. However we haven't gotten around to taking them up on that offer yet.

    Stafford Hospital, Council Tax

    Don't get me wrong. If my job is not done by the time my shift ends i am more than happy to stay behind and get the job done. But all of my responsibilities are fulfilled by and more often than not before my shift ends, at which point i help out in other areas of the business (often sales). But...
