    Stafford Pride 2024.

    🤷‍♀️ It was a weird thing for her to post with zero context or commentary, in a group that she never actively participated in bar self-promotion. She might have been within the letter of the law (though that’s still a bit of a grey area) but I’m personally not a fan of people posting doorbell...

    Stafford Pride 2024.

    We’ve had to block her from posting on a FB page I admin a while ago as she is spamtastic (that autocorrected to satanic and I almost didn’t change it). She also posted a really weird video of one of the local councillors canvassing taken from her ring doorbell without his permission. I always...

    Munch & Slurp.

    Needed somewhere quick to eat today so popped in for the first time - fit the bill, quick, relatively cheap, and cheerful. And surprisingly busy!

    Recycling changes...

    You can have more than one blue bag. We’ve somehow ended up with three. You can also put cardboard out alongside the blue bags as long as they’re a similar size/shape to a full bag. So fill another box with card and paper and put it alongside the bag. Works better in summer!

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    The staff are always really nice though so I hope they can be redeployed locally.

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    That one never has cheese and bean toasties and the layout is awkward so we tend to go to the primark one

    Happy Birthday!

    Belated thanks all, I am currently far from the ‘Ford so missed them on the day!

    Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

    With my knees?! No chance! Agree on walking but strength training only really possible in the gym as lack of space/proper equipment at home.

    Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

    Would be very keen on Gym Group finally opening. I would prefer not to have to drive to the gym and that one is about 5 mins walk away. It’s one less excuse for me to make to not go.

    Scrotes about!

    Few reports on good ole reliable Facebook that a couple of people were mugged at knife point by the bandstand in Victoria park over the weekend. Assume if true the police will post about it but in the meantime might be worth avoiding the area of an evening.

    Shakespeare in the Gatehouse.

    Great post @Withnail :clap:

    Shakespeare in the Gatehouse.

    We’ve just watched and loved it! Now in the interests of full disclosure (😉) I’ve never seen Shakespeare at the castle, only at RSC, but that was excellent. Kiddo claims she didn’t have a clue what was going on but laughed in all the right places so I’m taking that as a win.

    Shakespeare in the Gatehouse.

    Couldn’t disagree with this more. An opportunity to see Shakespeare performed well is always special, and the fact it’s local is a huge treat. I’m taking one of the kids at the weekend (having been slightly baffled at friends who said theirs wouldn’t understand it - Shakespeare performed is...

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    Trouble in Stoke linked to the hotels? I’d be very, very surprised if that was true given the demographic housed there.

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    I’ll hold my hands up and say I probably wouldn’t be thrilled to be living next door to asylum accommodation. But I also recognise the dire living arrangement (they can’t work, Serco don’t provide any training courses or teach them English, they are given a pittance to live on) is what drives...

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    The same person who doesn’t know the difference between “asylum seeker” and “illegal immigrant” and quotes wildly incorrect figures about how much money asylum seekers are given, while inferring they’re all rapists. Absolutely showing her true colours. Shame as the idea of a community hub isn’t...

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    Doesn’t it just.

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    They’ve explicitly said it’s because of the asylum accommodation being approved.

    Proposed Change of Use - Stafford Court, Beaconside.

    Hearts and Hands have decided the new residents will all be criminals and has given notice on its current site.
