    Future of the Kingston Centre.

    I did write that 18 months ago, when people still thought the world might make sense again one day ...

    The Ship Aground Micropub.

    Wasn't the original USP of this pub going to be having a vinyl shop in the corner? I've been in once and it wasn't ready - is it now? Without that extra tag there's not a lot that makes me want to go in to an expensive craft ale bar tbh

    Stafford Traffic.

    Whatever you do or don't think the highways department can / should do, I'm sure we can all agree that being psychic isn't one of ther duties.

    Stafford Traffic.

    Have they reported it to the council? Can't fix what they don't know about. https://apps2.staffordshire.gov.uk/web/reportfault/#divSelectionHeader

    New Train Services To/From Stafford.

    Even with the clean air charge in Birmingham its cheaper to drive in and park at the Arcadian than it is to get two train tickets. Not that the train is actually an option if you want to see the end of the gig. KK I hadn't even considered anything other than driving there it's so out of the way.

    New Train Services To/From Stafford.

    My 10 year old diesel is completely tax exempt but not exempt from Birmingham's clean air zone 🙄 I concur with other comments here that a) the lack of mechanism to check what you owe before you pay is utterly ridiculous and b) the fact that this was implemented while there are no alternatives...

    Extreme weather.

    Incredibly smug that I purchased an air conditioning unit last summer. Put a digital thermometer on the patio table yesterday, it maxed out at 49.7 at 3pm. Back out there today to see if it can beat that.

    It's just Sainsbury's.

    My grandad was one of the Santas for years through the 90s and early 00s

    Taco Bell, The Hough Retail Park.

    Does anyone actually have anything useful to say about taco bell? Between the delivery services and the in store collection services being turned off most of the weekend I assume it's been very popular, although haven't yet headed in myself. I hope it calms down soon but also hope it retains...

    Taco Bell, The Hough Retail Park.

    Do they have the ordering screens inside? I bloody hate having to order at places like that without knowing the menu and being able to see what's on offer. Unfortunately I have since found the other thread talking about this. We can't have anything new without someone complaining it's not as...

    Taco Bell, The Hough Retail Park.

    Has anyone been? I haven't but tracking social media posts seems to suggest they've been a bit overwhelmed the last couple of days...

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

    In this instance they wanted £4k to replace guttering (no soffit and fascia) and with my poker face and utter refusal to agree to anything, give them my target price or discuss my monthly income got them down to £2.9k. I told them at the beginning I'd agree to nothing that day and I wanted three...

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

    Cuffy to 'First Choice Doors and Windows' based out of Wolverhampton, who knocked on my door to ask if I needed a quote as they're working in the area. I was subject to a quote 4x higher than the actual value of the works and high pressure sales techniques including the phony special...

    Taco Bell, The Hough Retail Park.

    I was elsewhere this weekend and tried my first ever Taco Bell meal, having been warned that it would be disappointing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheaper and more filling than McDonalds with some actual flavour, and weirdly addictive cinnamon puff things. Actual well made Mexican food it ain't...

    I know of one outside Ballyroan but I suppose that's too far East for you!

    Council Tax Energy Rebate Payment.

    Now I've had a letter in the post encouraging me to apply (despite previously being told I'd get DD automatically) and when I called I was forced to listen to 2 minutes of speil then told the lines are busy and hung up on by a robot!

    I'm a direct debit payer so it should happen automatically
