1 in 4 pounds of your council tax is spent on rather generous council pensions. Then you wonder why nothing gets done.

Flooding in Stafford will only get worse with all the new houses that are going to be built. They're setting a target of 782 new homes.

It's a pretty small store. There's four stores in the area which is a bit excessive. Also, what clever person decided to undertake a major refit of the big co-op store just as there's roadworks making it more difficult to get into town.

Oh she is indeed. Such a character. I'd definitely get another galgo, although they do often take a lot of time to recover from their ordeals in Spain. I lucked out with Ginny, she's very affectionate.

Seen lots of engineers about today. Connection is back online. I bet they've had a lot of needless appointments to peoples homes.

Anyone else had them? Had a couple last week and two today, connection is now down (using my mobile hotspot). Even had my O2 phone connection go down. Are they accidentally damaging cables down Radford Bank? I have a engineer visit booked in, but Thursday. As I use my internet connection for my...

Sorry about that :) She's unfortunately had some fur loss, a symptom of the leishmaniasis.

Just finished Ginny's latest round of treatment. She's back to her usual energetic moany self :D She also had a cracked nail which had to be cut back, so that was stopping her wanting to go for walks. All better now.

That didn't appear on the map when I looked. We've got way too many low quality junk food places as it is.

They've strimmed the weed covered land opposite too. Rumours of a McDonalds opening there years ago. Nothing on the planning map though.

That side of town would do better with free parking. I imagine Sainsburys don't own that car park but it would save them a lot of hassle with refunding parking charges if it was free. The rest of the car park is nearly always completely empty when I visit it. So making it free would not lose...

The Arboretum at Alrewas. Rosliston Forestry Centre. Chasewater. Ironbridge.

What's going on with this store? It's pretty stupid to have an empty shop which could be being used by some local business to provide service. They can't just be renting it and not using it can they?

Not posted an update here in a long time. Bad news, Ginny's leishmania is back at a level even higher than when she was first diagnosed, she spent a morning at the vets last week for tests, has high blood pressure too but no other conditions. Another round of treatment is required.

Labour created foundation trusts, it was a flagship policy of theirs. A sort of NHS equivalent of their school academies programme which let certain organisations have greater autonomy and opt out of local authority control. Guess how they qualified? showing financial contract and competency...

I used one in the early 2000s and it worked reasonably well. But when I tried to do one a few years back the kit I used didn't seem to exist any more.

Pretty sure the Wildwood pub is family friendly. Plus the one on Radford Bank, the Stonehouse.

I can do a lot of the route into town on cycle lanes and quiet roads. But when I get into town there's no safe cycle parking. If you want a decent reliable bike or even an electric one which might be valuable then where are you going to safely lock it up? I have really good locks and having...

Widening the road and then putting the lights in.

Councillors will just say why weren't you cycling or walking. Seems to be their answer to everything. My reply would be why are the roads still only suitable for the traffic levels of about 20-30 years ago when there's been dozens of new housing estates since then.
