He gets free credit at graze if you sign up through his link, same as quidco. Terribly deceitful, I'd never do such a thing

You had to start somewhere !Way back when I was a tech chimp the landlord of the Bear and Pheasant would serve you as long as you took off the tie identifying your school

The Westway is in the wrong direction?
The Eastway then
Big George from Stoke takes £20 to the Hem Heath pub once a week for his night out
He has a pint and a curry ( £4.99 )
Four times
Not sure why they call him big George though

why is it interesting?
you seem to be implying that, by endorsing and eating graze, i somehow care about ethics or animal welfare..
i had a gorgeous veggie burger at the help for heroes gig at the railway inn at the weekend - does that make me a hippy vegetarian?!
i just like their food, i don't care whether it's made from hemp, or whether they had to skin baby deer to make it

I'd agree although both schools will have sixth forms, and with the changes of course provision at the College, more students will stay on to study A-Levels. Either way I shouldn't think that their staff wouldn't be able to ID a 16/17 year old.

My apologies. It's been a long day. I will make sure my grammar is up to spec in the future. Thanks for the feedback

I notice some of the objections were about congestion. Newport Road is congested in the morning with people travelling in to Stafford to work. With parents dropping there kids off at Blessed Bills. Then it occurs in the evening when people leave work.
If the motorway is blocked we have congestion and also if something happens in Stafford. The pub will not generally increase this. As for parking is it really an issue.
As for the local councillor suggesting that a deal with the local Rugby club to have a combined club and pub thats absurd. You could imagine it half way through your meal and the first 15 launch in to a drinking contest.
I always thought the Rugby club was to move one day and the land used for housing?

Any congestion problems will occur in the evening, and be much less than those caused by parents driving their kids to school in the morning/afternoon. As an awful lot of those residents have kids of a school age, and as I know an awful lot are driven there (at least to the one local school I know someone at), I can't see a real grounds for complaint here.
Not that its really opposite any of the moaning buggers homes, but regardless who wanted to wake up and find that housing estate spoiling their lovely view? If you live on a new estate that buggered up other peoples scenery don't moan when it happens to you as well. You don't own the land around your home, just your own plot. If they can build screwfix and destroy the view for loads of homes then a pub on the corner of this estate is a drop in the ocean. Deal with it or move house, simples.

Excellent! I assume as usual they quoted out of context and didn't link to the thread?
Edit: or did you comment on their website?

it was just verbatim, from the comment i left on their website (so no, they didn't mention the forum).. if i had have known it would make its way into the print edition, i wouldn't have included a smiley face, and i would have mentioned the forum!

It's just so hypocritical of them all, people protested about their housing estate but were ignored. Now the people living there are moaning about something potentially spoiling their view? As for the moronic councillors comments about waking up to a busy child centered pub opposite their house, surely it will only be busy in the evenings? So people will wake up to a deserted building, oh the horror!
Feel free to quote me all you like newsletter, if you live on castlefields and complain about this development then you're a self centered dick. :p

I've only seen complaints from the new residents, or at least I think I have. Are the old houses called castlefields as well? I've always used that term just for the new estate.
