    Amazon Prime Day

    Seems to be standard With Hermes. Mine tried to just push my parcel through the letterbox yesterday, despite it being far too big. Better than Yodel though. They often just dump them on the doorstep, fully visible from the street.

    Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

    Anyone know if the Cheese & Ale Festival is actually on tomorrow? The publicity for it seems to have been non-existent.

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    Nauticalia still has shops. There’s one at the docks in Liverpool and one in Greenwich. I’m sure I’ve seen them elsewhere too.

    Free! Fabric Off Cuts

    I’d love the blue fabric and the white/grey please. My Nan has recently started a sewing class so she’d make use of it (and it’d get me some brownie points!)

    Cuffy/Skill - Stafford customer service thread - Stafford retailers reports.

    Unfortunately I HAVE to use Yodel as they are the chosen courier for the company I work for. I’ve lost count of the number of times they’ve just left the parcel on my doorstep. Hermes aren’t any better - I’ve had them not deliver my parcel but forge my signature to say they have a few times...

    Water Outage ST16 17/8/18

    We had a letter a few days ago saying they’d be doing work so the supply might be interrupted. Unsurprisingly, the letter was dated two days after the interruption was meant to start.

    The Christmas Police.

    We do the same. It’s something we started on our honeymoon and so far there’s only been one place where we couldn’t find one - Hong Kong. We did get a Lucky Cat though, so maybe we’ll hang that on the tree. We also buy a magnet and have a fridge door covered in them

    Scrotes about!

    I wonder if it’s the same person who broke into my neighbours car a couple of weeks ago. That was during the middle of the night as well. Scum

    Stafford Half Marathon.

    My husband had a similar problem trying to get to the train station so he could get into work. He spoke to one of the marshalls and explained he needed to cross the road so he could get a train and was basically told tough. The Marshall soon changed his mind when hubby pointed out that if he...

    Suncreams

    I use Boots Soltan Once and find the sprays easier than the lotion. I use Boots Repel Tropical Formula for bites and haven’t been bitten while using it in Europe and the Caribbean. Prior to doing so I’d always get bitten and, like you, they’d end up infected.

    Boiler Issue

    Is anyone on here a plumber/gas engineer and available to come and look at my boiler? Or can anyone recommend someone please? My boiler has died this morning and it seems to be a problem with the pressure valve. British Gas aren’t answering and are apparently overrun with calls so wouldn’t...

    Trade Secret Furniture Shop Burton

    Does Stafford tip (or any other local tip) have a furniture shop? I know some do, but Hubby is the most unobservant man on the planet so he doesn’t know.

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    I think all the other shops there (except perhaps Primark) close at 6, so staying open until 8pm isn’t going to get many customers when there’s nowhere else to go?

    Really?? I was in there a couple of days ago and wondered why the back section was empty and roped off.
