    Roy Hodgson - England Manager as of Tue 1st May 2012

    Once a barrow boy, allways a barrow boy. Didn't Venables quit in order to clear his name in connection with dodgy business deals and financial irregularities? It was a London press led campaign for "Sir Harry", Gawd bless him, and as Withnail says, when things (inevitably) turned sour the...

    Shakespeare at Stafford Castle ... Past Actors ?

    Thank you, Withnail! All this and the photo's too! Much appreciated. By the way, much as I love the way it has developed, did you prefer the rough and ready straw bails approach to the Lewis Brothers PLC model?

    Roy Hodgson - England Manager as of Tue 1st May 2012

    What links Bournemouth FC, Portsmouth FC, West Ham United FC and Southampton FC? Relegation, financial irregularities, dodgy agents, receivership, tax evasion and, err, Harry Redknapp. Good luck, Roy.

    Charity pests in Stafford? AKA Chuggers

    As Sean Lock says, "they call them a cross between charity, and muggers. Chunts"

    Saturday night in Downtown Stafford....

    Why is R&J being staged this year? It was on only a few years back, and I thought that recent productions of The Bard's comedies have been superb. I had hoped that The Castle productions would concentrate on this format and become noted for them, rather than compete with numerous other...

    The Old Curious Shops....

    Mal and Jeremy started B Sharp, before it was run by Tate and Furka. Must have been around 1980 when it opened, I think. Mal still stalks the streets of Stafford and will offer you an opinion on the state of the world if prompted! Good times! The closest to it Stafford has now is on Mill Street...

    Saturday night in Downtown Stafford....

    You can still pre-order, but you have to get to the bar in the first place to do so! I hope they link up with the Rose and Crown, or better still, improve their own facilities.

    Any info on a woman strangled in the sixties in Stafford ?

    There was a murder on the site of the carpark of the Greyhound in County Road, not sure of the date but a long time ago. I think it was the Landlord's wife, and there was a connection with someone who worked at the prison. A crime of passion, maybe?

    Saturday night in Downtown Stafford....

    Having left Stafford for pastures new a couple of years ago, it's not often that I have the pleasure of spending a Saturday night there. So I was looking forward to showing Mrs Attaboy the delights of the town last Saturday when we came over to see Dave Spikey at The Gatehouse. Oh dear...

    Bad times for pubs in Stafford

    Update on The Coach, anyone? I happily wasted several years of my life there a few years ago, but have to say it was a dreary place when I last called in before Christmas. Sad if it has gone, it could still be a good place again with a little TLC.

    Sandon Road Fish Bar

    It was called Fish Bar 2000 for a short while. You could sing a song in its honour, if you all met up there.......
