Hi just to let you know, forever flowers are in the process of looking for a new stafford site At the moment for orders etc Jane is contactable on 07964 606036

DO NOT ORDER FROM HER UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!

We paid a £20 deposit for wedding flowers back in September and she has fobbed us off for months now only 4 weeks till our wedding - and she will not answer her phone.

Having just took a wander through the snow hill area of stoke I think we have it easy, unless you need a western union which seems to be the areas primary business.

Stoke makes almost anywhere in the UK look good ( apart from perhaps Sandwell, Middlesborough, Aston, and Hull )

I think the Gladstone Museum in Longton is marvelous but how can you tell where the museum ends and the rest of Longton begins..?

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 to be back in Stafford with my friends. As it is, I'm stuck here until I win lotto!! Longton is no where near the worst by the way, try a day out checking out... Cobridge, Shelton, Normacot, Tunstall and Stoke itself. Not being funny, but the Samaritans is actually the only business still operating in one of the regeneration zones, they obviously sensed the need for their services!

To be fair there are some nice people in Stoke and Shelton is my favourite spot, particularly College Road on a hot afternoon

Apparently Hanchurch Manor has gone bust ( posh nosh.n hotel ) Recent guests included Pele and Tutu

 

[Disks & Discs]

Next store in the town centre is now to let due to relocation. Not sure if that means they are just going to have the out of town store and pull out of the Main Street.

Possibly a move to somewhere bigger (the newly closed Waterstones in the guildhall - makes more sense...)

 

[John Marwood]

It wont be a long lease if they do open up again

'Disasterous' figures this year according to an insider (leg?)

DFS having their 'worst ever' year anall

Easter being late this year inna helpin neeva

It's so frustrating to see all the shops disappearing out of the centre arrrgh! Gimme some choice for kids clothes in Stafford that doesn't involve either 2 bus journeys or use of a car!! I don't WANT to shop at the supermarkets for clothes all the time!!!

(Hope they are moving to Waterstones, that would be...acceptable)

Antelope possibly closed again? Lights seem to have been out last few times I've walked past (about half 5 - 6).

Hu fuc*in rrah! ........

I was informed tonight ( possibly unreliably, as I haven't been past to check ) that the Antelope is open again..

 

[Gramaisc]

I have been informed that County Cameras has closed, but I haven't been able to confirm this for myself yet.

 

[tek-monkey]

Dunno about that, but the Antelope didn't reopen!

Also noticed the barbers on Foregate is gone, replaced by a flower shop. The pet shop that spanned 2 stores is also gone, that one is still empty.
