    New prices at Shugborough after National Trust takeoever

    Nothing's perfect. However, the NT did kind of start with looking after and promoting access to land and open spaces - see our Stoke MP's account of the founding mother at the link - and only later diversified into stately homes, very many if not most of which would have been lost, either...

    Cameron still a Wanker

    Thank you Mr Marwood. I've struggled for years to understand why so many of those who get put up for the bigger and shinier of these things - apart, of course, from those who get them as part of the deal, like the FCO and the military - are so awful. All is now clear. WankPuffins. Preening...

    Your traffic solutions

    Shame that, Carole, it would almost certainly make you a nicer person. Now feck off and stop bullying people.

    Your traffic solutions

    But then again, Carole, some people may just not care to interact with bullies who quite obviously bear grudges themselves. Or with the insufferably smug. Or with the tediously and pointlessly argumentative. Or with those who think it's clever to attempt to cause distress by being bitchy to or...

    Rugby Club progress...

    If his choice of avatar is any indication of this individual's attitude to the little people who have had the temerity to criticise this murky affair, it would indeed appear to be the case that he considers himself as clever as those who are unimpressed by this entertaining tableau - 'Cronyism...

    Does anybody know if New Street Stafford is a good place to live?

    Click the 'find my neighbourhood' link at the top of the page, then enter either the postcode of interest or, for example, 'browning street, stafford' or whatever. It'll then display the top-level local map, which can be zoomed in upon at will. I have to say, however, that the results of this...

    Group Event Tuesday Mixer Club

    ooh, can I be in your gang please? I want to have a go at somebody and I'm afraid to do it by myself. If any of you - couple who think as one and the opinionated one - would care to say these things to my face, singly, I'd be happy to oblige.* Thought not. Get a life, FFS. *actually, this is...

    Riverside development April start

    It's that particular shade of green as well. I'm in Manchester at the moment, god help me, and it's all over the currently shiny new tenements that are sprouting from the derelict remains of old urban industry. The kind of places where you can see right into peoples' living rooms from the tram...

    Stafford Ladies Circle Diary 2015/16

    Goldi mate, it had finished several months ago. Then it was opened up again. Quite aggressively. Who knows why. But if you poke a stick in an anthill...

    Stafford Ladies Circle Diary 2015/16

    Well I would tell you dear, only I can't quite seem to remember what I came on here for. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm just going to sit here quietly and knit a pair of socks for that nice Mr Corbyn.

    Stafford Ladies Circle Diary 2015/16

    We don't, any longer, see signs in windows saying 'no blacks, no dogs, no irish'. So how is it ok to put up a sign saying 'no women over 45'? That's the point. And the hoariness of this and some of the other assumptions implicit in the way it's presented. And if that annoys me to the point of...

    Talk to me about..... Food smoking

    Offshore property ownership in Stafford

    So it would seem. Cheers, G. Was merely curious because this entity owns such a lot of individual modest residential properties in specific areas of town. Presumably bought off-plan, ahead of real people who'd like to own their own home, iot fatten the already bulging wallets of a bunch of...

    Jaflong in Penkridge?

    Any opinions on this establishment? Walked past it today and the odours were v enticing. I am, however, a curry tart and not entirely objective. More balanced views welcome.
