I haven't decided yet whether to stand, but it is certain something to think about. I have a lot to offer, it's a matter of whether I have the time to do it.

What did they do for the people of Stafford with all the money from this sale?

I think (but I'm not completely sure) that as part of the deal, the new leisure centre was built by the developers who bought the land the old Riverside Centre stood on.

People like you are exactly the reason why Stafford is in the state it is in. No pride in the town , no ambition for it, happy to settle for second or third best.

Of course the county town should be the best. Otherwise what right has it got to be the county town?

So what are you doing about it?

(other than bitching on here, which achieves feck all)

I wont vote, because although Stafford born and bred, I don't live there anymore. (You have to go where the work is people.) But this seems to have got a bit nasty, so I made a New Years Resolution (about 11 months and 31 days late) not to get involved. But HAH HAH, it's 2017, that resolution is down the crapper, so I will comment. I got pretty much slagged out of Stafford Remembered because everybody thought I had negative views of Stafford, but in all fairness, at my age, I'm comparing the town of today with the town I knew (full of factories, working day and night !!) and I do get a bit depressed when I see the town centre these days (I get up that way a couple of times a year) but I see many people posting on here with positive views so I'll go with that. Hell, after 2016 a bit of positivity is much in need. So I wish the town well, and the New Year and stuff.

(However, bear in mind, it's still my pylon, and I will be taking it away at some time in the future. Think of that as me reducing your electricity bill.) :lolsmash:

As you said yourself, you are talking crap, and you know it. No-one from London wouldcever be interested in a wasteland like Stafford, and they do think it is a 'dump up north' (your words). I would never show anyone around Stafford, there is nothing to show anyway. I am ashamed of Stafford, and when I talk to

You clearly think he's a tosser, but you really should be attacking the meaning rather than the mechanics. That's a bit too easy, and not really honourable. You should fight ideas, not grammar. Grammar is for pedants, not idealists. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with much of what he says, but ... everybody get's a shout, and you shouldn't try and dis-assemble that shout with mechanics, far better to do that with better ideas.. Mechanics is for gear boxes and science, (although I can't deny it works for both of those.)
