    Ornithology & Bird watching in Stafford.

    Walked along the path between the former GEC Measurents St Leonards Avenue, under the train line, and across Penk to the Canal at Baswich. Loads of flooding, there has been for months. Two Little Egrets in different spots and loads of other Wildfowl and swans! Lovely to see but as the water...

    Stafford Castle.

    Lucy, I regularly walk around the castle, obviously they might say different, but I imagine this doesn't involve a hugh amount of trees; there are a number of trees that are marked with red paint. As they say some trees a going to be 'full felled' others branches removed. There are certainly...

    That vegan thread.

    Price matching working overtime, Aldi changed their brand provider and jumped into line with 50p! Imagine if I went round to other shops they may have jumped into line! I'm sticking with Tesco, well they led the changes! (Didn't you say it was more convenient for you on foot? Ed!:roll:)

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    You could be write, but I think it really depends on what SBC have planned for it! It's a decent sized unit, prime corner plot, sitting write on the front of the newly refurbished Market Square, that I am told, has been designed to increase outdoor marketing events! Surely a prime sight for...

    Parking in Stafford.

    Thought it is 2 hours! But I could be wrong! Sorry if I am. The fine used to be £60; £30 if you pay within a specified period of time, sorry can't remember how long that is either. 🤔 Could be six days! Hope that has been of at least of some help!

    Stafford shops closing - Turning into a ghost town?

    Shame, but if I am honest, despite being vegan for years, I seldom visit chains are catering for what was a fast growing market. I think they are pretty well catered for, which means I can get most of shopping more conveniently and cheaper. I've heard the number of Vegans has decreased, and...

    Parking on pavements to become unlawful.

    Will have implications for residents of West Way which has become an extension of The Western Bypass! Residents have parked half on half off the pavement for years, 'a la' Corporation Street; and even then at certain parts of the day, the traffic is horrendous! There doesn't seem any easy...

    It is indeed Eagate St,. B2B are fantastically cheap, I use them a lot. Are great for basics stuff if you know what the problem is. I Had an idea it was beyond their knowledge, I didn't even know that gears can have a cassette! (Don't think Halfords did either!) ;)
