Sorry if this has been posted before, I am not as regular a browser as I have been before, mainly due to only just buying new pc. I was in Stafford on Saturday and it looks like the Rose and Crown has been set a light? Or is it just being renovated? Whatever it looks a right mess and...

Having lived in Stafford before ending up living in Stoke, I can totally agree that Stoke is a dump. It actually drains the life out of you. I hate it and if Stafford was not so expensive and my hubby didn't hate all the traffic lights and islands around Stafford, I would leave Stoke in a shot...

Who cares what the site looks like? I get it to play and then minimise the window anyway!

Cheers, found it on the Guildhall website too, it is next door to Topshop.

Maybe I am being thick here, but in my mind, the back of the Guildhall consists of an overpriced eaterie called Druckers or something, a clothes shop which changed it's name from QS, there is HMV, Waterstones, Evans' and JJB, so surely there isn't another sports shop too?

Yeah JJB in Guildhall and Sports direct where the old Woolworths was. But am confused as more than one person seemed to have these JD Sport bags. Just fashion, or something else?

My son saw a JD Sports bag on someones arm the other day. But I don't recall where it is in Stafford, (we live in S-O-T) and I was wondering if there is a JD in Stafford as we want to compare football boots prices for my son. Any ideas?

It's a sad state off affairs that this happened, especially at our beloved Brit, as now it will be synonymous with violence and bad behaviour. Hope the guy in custody gets done for manslaughter. Like you say, just glad there were no City fans involved. RIP John Taylor.

Woohoooo loving this, I've been tracing my Family Tree for several years and would love to know more about how to fill in the blanks. I'll be there.

I've advertised this as an event on a group on Facebook. The group is called Stoke City FC - a proper Premiership club. Hope this helps. I've sent invites to all my City and Wolves mates. I however will not be there as I am due to be running the London Marathon on that day for Children with...

Went Blessoes - left in 97. Mr Sartin was sexist but the English department were great - except Ms. Tait/McGovern, she was scary. Mrs Cunnion used to talk in descending volume until you could barely hear her, then she'd get mad at you for asking someone what she said! Had some well nice...

I've asked that he be strict with the under age lot as I can't be bothered drinking with kids!

Yes Paul and his friend James Dickie. It's going to be an over 25's bar at 47-48 Mill Street.

Will do my best to find out as soon as poss and keep you posted.

I've been told a new pub is due to open in Mill Street in April if things go well with council permissions. Anybody know anything about this? It's two people I knew from primary school who are opening it, but I haven't spoken to either of them to clarify the issue yet.

Not very far back and apologies if I mention someone who has been mentioned - but Tony Carter and Linda Dewsnap who used to have the Spittal Brook, John Simmonds and Leslie who used to have the Shrew, and Becky Waterfalls mum who used to have the Rose and Crown back in 1999!! Can't remember her...

Wonder if it will be any lighter than before? I hate dark boozers.

I voted on Thursday - am now in Stoke so we only had Euro elections but was happy to see Labour lose so many seats and was mildly pleased that Tories took such a huge county council vicotry UK wide. I voted for someone other than the top 3 mainly because I don't like the expenses scandal, I...

According to a group which has formed on a well known social networking site, there is a new cocktail bar and restaurant opening soon. Don't know where, speculation is rife but Mill Street stands a chance. Anybody know anything about this?

ok you know where to find me if you change your mind! :-)
