    William Coltman V.C.

    We are shocked at the museum to hear about the vandalism, but we were reassured by the Victoria Cross Trust that it was a simple thing to fix so hopefully it has been sorted. Bill Coltman was an extraordinary man and I'm very proud to tell his story at the museum.

    Band practice

    According to a local source, yes it was oakridge and something called oakfest. Apparently it stopped earlier as 18 local residents had complained. I'm not surprised, it must have been really loud if we could hear it over here.

    Relocating to Staffordshire

    Hi, I current live on wildwood and do the daily journey to lichfield, 30 mins is quite usual though it's a bit longer with the Milford road closed but that should be opening in June. It's quite a pleasant journey too. Weeping cross/walton or even Brockton/milford are nice areas . I would come...

    Light brown labrador dog loose on Wildwood

    Estate Agent Recommendations needed

    Yep to being on rightmove. We have had approx 20 viewings so far, but my main problem with dbroberts is that they appear to be really not matching people well enough so the majority of viewings have almost been time wasters. We said that we were looking at moving quickly yet they sent people...

    Staffies! Is it the Dog? Or the Owner

    I am of the opinion that it is solely down to the owner, perfect example of this is I volunteer at the Staffordshire Regiment Musuem and the Staffords mascot is a Staffy. He is currently Watchman V and i had the pleasure of meeting him and his handler when i was in one day. He was such a lovely...

    Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

    I travel from stafford to lichfield everyday and I have on a number of occasions seen people turning left out of The Crescent (at the crossroad traffic lights by the vauxhall garage) whilst my lights have been on green so they definitely are coming though on red.
