Good one.Slightly off topic, but I wonder if the council ever fined the guy who owns Foxearth for cutting that tree down illegally.
Good one.
Have they actually had enforcement over the tree though? That’s a separate, much more significant issueCar dealership on old Frankie and Benny's site faces council enforcement action

Called in tonight and had the Pad Thai and Thai Green curry. Huge portions and absolutely delicious.Not quite a shop but a pop up Thai on a drive on First Avenue just by the turning for Gordon Avenue.
They were only doing Pad Thai noodles and spring rolls today as a bit of a trial for their new van.
They weren't sure which days they'd be opening yet as they're still testing things on the van.
The food was really good and good value and worth calling in if the flags are up when you're passing.

That reminds me of the food in the Bartons Arms.Called in tonight and had the Pad Thai and Thai Green curry. Huge portions and absolutely delicious.
The menu is limited but they explained that they didn't like wasting food.
They said that they're usually open on First Avenue on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays then do venues on Fridays and over the weekend.
Opening hours and that day's menu are on Facebook but I don't use it so can't confirm.

I was going to look at joining in the new year depending on reviews. I would join sooner but I realised I'm really busy in December.The Gym Group gym next to TK Maxx was due to open at midday today, not 100% if it has as the app says no one is in there, but it might be slow updating. I had a look around last week and it looked OK, good range of apparatus and I will give it at least a month to see if it is for me, me being lardy and that.
Gosh years since I heard that expressionLardy Da

The new KFC in Stafford
The new restaurant – which is KFC’s first little drive-thru in the UK – has opened at the Beacon Business Park in Weston Road.
It has created around 35 new jobs and the fast food giant is still welcoming applications from those keen to join the team.
Acky Khan, chairman and CEO, gastronomy restaurants said: “We’re delighted to be able to open our second restaurant in Stafford, a town we love, providing the area with more of their favourite fried chicken.
"It's been particularly exciting to innovate with our new little-drive thru design, which we hope you’ll love.

"We want to thank everyone that’s helped make the restaurant a reality, and we can’t wait to welcome people through the doors.”
Earlier this year, KFC expanded its new employability programme, Hatch, to the region, helping over 100 young people who have faced barriers to employment to build their work skills, confidence and get their first job.
The new little drive-thru model was designed, constructed and deployed by manufacturer Modular 500 under instruction from the developer, Espleys and with the design support and input from project managers, Bladon & Kirkham and architect consultancy, Franks Belshaws.
