    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.

    Caravans at Milford Common

    Not having been that way for a week or so, I was surprised to see a large number of caravans encamped on the Shugborough side of Milford Common. Shiny 4WDs, non-UK numbers. Are they travelling folk visiting Stafford, or some caravan club? Are you allowed to camp there? Is there a connection to...

    Does anyone on here do any Canal & River Trust volunteering? If so, would be interested in hearing your thoughts as I'm about to sign up, I think.

    Stuff Maplins sells?

    Not strictly a Stafford exclusive, but there is one here so people may have an opinion. Don't know whether it's just me, but in my life I've only bought a handful of things from Maplins, and for good reason: most don't work properly, and their customer service is awful. Several years ago I...

Stafford motorway services: better than nothing but doesn't make you want to see another day, really. That...

These officials should be used to police illegal parking that causes hazard or inconvenience, and...

    Scaffolding wanted

    Long shot, I know, but does anyone on here have, of know of, any scaffolding I could borrow for a few months? I have a house that needs a lot of work, very limited funds, and can't afford the eyewatering prices I've seen being charged for scaffolding hire.

    Stench from the Newport Road landfill site

    Has anybody on here yet complained to SBC about the nauseating smell that's been coming off the landfill site on the Newport Road next to the castle since the warm weather arrived? Several times now I've been waiting at the Newport Rd/Sundown drive lights and thought 'that's really vile'...
