    I honestly never knew where Holdiford Road was until I started seeing signs, but then went out to Rugeley and realised how long the official diversion is! Wow! So you can't turn down the road at Milford so you get sent all the way into Stafford and then and then up Weston Road!

    Where’s a Theo when you need one?

    Oh! We'll know she's around, alright! She'll suddenly give a toss about anything and everything, while no doubt shedding the odd tear on her one real committed project.

    I think it would save some confusion and frustration of signs were more specific. Surely locals would get a better grasp, instead of just “this road is closed” it should give a direction? Wolvo Road signs saying the road is closed will throw those that don’t know it will be one way. Surely it...

    Coronavirus.

    Just for reference, not that it matters to some of you, it’s only a GB News link as that’s the only place this live event happened as he had the chance to confront Sunak. It was shared far and wide, and I’m not a GB watcher. As for “Crank” he’s had loads of problems, like many others that you...

    Ever met anyone famous unexpectedly and in an unusual location!?!

    Exchanged pleasantries with Frank Carson when we were stood on an over crowded train at New Street. Changed trains and ended up standing with him again for the short trip to NEC! True story. The way I tell em!

    RIP St. Leonard's - English Electric/GEC Measurements/M.R.I/Alstom.

    There are now numerous drone accounts out there so the affects and evidence are laid bare. The recent floods have been hugely documented so I found myself saving lots of pictures for reference. Seeing various comments and speaking to people it seems a common theme that developments are raised...

    RIP St. Leonard's - English Electric/GEC Measurements/M.R.I/Alstom.

    The perimeter road round the meadows side was encroached numerous times while I was there and on the Sow side it spilled onto the field that we are now told is 2 metres higher, so this will force it elsewhere and I'd even fear for the junior school premises if it floods the others side, now. We...

    RIP St. Leonard's - English Electric/GEC Measurements/M.R.I/Alstom.

    If you look on Drone Hub there's a shot from this week and it shows how big and how close to the extremities the houses will be. This post has been shared across a few public groups. On one post there's seemingly a younger possible new occupant lecturing a former employee on how all the boxes...
