Anyone know where Stafford Borough Council is moving their reception too? Went in there today to try and get some forms and they were all packing up boxes, and the reception area was empty with signs up saying it had closed and directed you to online ?
Hmm all Online then?

It's staying in the same place - it's just having a revamp/refit/move around.

Wait, they owned Browns too? Browns which just suddenly disappeared one day? Were they the ones in the store every day or was there someone doing the day to day for them? The woman that was always in there seemed alright… don’t think that was her in the photo, above

How does one get the kind of money to fail that many times and try again anyway?

Edit: according to FB, they’ve had five businesses over the course of the last 18 months including Candyland, photography, Browns, the one in the Mews by whatever name it was at the time and the aforementioned. Blimey.

Apparently he made a shit load of money on Candyland when he sold it so maybe thought he was a genius.

The woman that always served me in the coffee shop told me that her husband was setting up their restaurant in St Mary's mews once.

The picture could possibly be her but she does look different from what the person I remember. From memory she was a bit older and had a rounder face.

Face app* /photoshop has a lot to answer to.... I'm fairly sure I've met 'him' the photo looks younger though
