    Missing Blue Dog Comforter (in town)...

    Hi Folks My wife and son were in town last week (I think it was Tuesday) and my son managed to loose his 'blue doggie' - a little blue dog comforter. Fortunately we know how attached our son is to this so we had a spare, but upon going to get another one we've discovered they no longer sell...

    New Gym Opening - LS Fitness (fka LifeStyle Fitness)

    I just called about the membership, I think they've already got their 100 members as they arent now doing the £180 membership, the guy I spoke to said they'd all gone. He said their current special deal is now £239 for the year. I think Gym & Tonic are still offering £199, but with the lighter...

    BT Infinity & other fibre broadband in Stafford.

    Interestingly I just came across this:- An exchange is considered "FTTC enabled" when 80% of the cabinets it serves (the cabinet is the point on your street where the internet is brought in) are also enabled. Unfortunately that means that 20% of cabinets can't provide FTTC even if your...

    It's a shared Vodafone and O2 3G mast.... (If you want to get technical)... I think its a CU Phosco Mk 3 street pole, housing 6 no. 3G antennas within a 480mm GRP shroud. - not that I'm an authority on mobile masts and poles!

    SamKnows shows the FTTC status for the Stafford Exchange as Ready For Service on 1/3/2012 - those dates can and do change, but backs up the 1st March date you were given. http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WMSPA - I'm not sure if BT would (or wouldnt) mark the exchange as Ready For...

    The ludicrous price of Stafford shop rents

    I agree, rentals are too high, and the commend about the rates - I think rates are a real killer, they seem much less open to negotiation... You can check the rateable value of any property (you know the address for) here:- http://www.2010.voa.gov.uk/rli/ - At the moment you have to pay...
