In light of the up and coming Football World Cup Qualifying match taking place my Welsh husband would like to put a request into ADAS/ APC to temporarily remove the Ukrainian flags around the village this Sunday, and replace them all with Welsh ones. He would be happy for them to be put back once Wales has qualified.

Around 12:35pm on Wednesday it seems my partner has managed to misplace or drop my NatWest debit card. She used it to pay for some items in the Co Op and then walked on to the Scout Hall to meet me in the building. She realised upon arrival it was missing and instantly retraced her steps whilst asking if it had been handed in at local shops / establishments. I have used my banking app to freeze any use of the card in the hope that someone may have picked it up and I don't have to re order a new one. If anyone comes across it or can be of help, please contact me on 07887566550. Thanks!

There has been an abandoned grey wheelie bin on the grass verge opposite Church View. It appeared about 3 weeks ago, has number 3 on it but does not belong to any of the residents in this vacinity. Has anyone lost theirs in the village. I am going to report it to be collected if no one reclaims it.

Hopefully it was a good send off for a great person.

I reported it on Volcano Discovery from Audlem along with a few others. At first I thought the rumbling was Thunder, then it appeared to move under the floor from back to front, the desk, computer and the whole house shook. I turned and watched the TV rocking on the TV unit, quite unsettling. It lasted a few seconds, but seemed longer.
Was expecting to see everyone outside after it stopped, but all was quiet, then I checked online and discovered the Volcano Discovery website and others had reported it too from all over the area!

Hi Julie. I would be happy to look after your puppy. I have two dachshunds and had a litter last year, so completely understand their ways! �£

Hi Sharon Parker, try Chloe at Dasching Doggies, she is a groomer at Combermere and had has for of her own.

Last night (Saturday 28th May), we had a car broken into whilst parked on our drive. The thieves took tools and a little cash. Anybody else in the locale have a similar experience last night?

Tim is of course quite right, although my addition to the debate was more of an observation on some of the disjointed ramblings that appear on Chatbox. I think Plato once observed something to the effect that to hold an opinion you need no actual knowledge – amply demonstrated by some of the contributions to this debate.

In response to Mr Denning, obviously and thankfully some people receive a good standard of care but many dont. Especially at the moment. Below are a few articles supporting the point i was making;

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-nhs-has-never-been-the-envy-of-the-world-

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10757053/NHS-near-bottom-world-healthcare-league-table-UK-risks-sick-man-world.html

Currently, GP's and the NHS are still hiding behind COVID. Today, my partner received a letter for an appointment for haematology (he got 2 blood clots due to the vaccine) which he now is under treatment for, treatment we had to fight for. The letter starts by telling us how the NHS is under so much strain from the virus so his appointment will be over the phone???

Our baby is 2 and has never seen a health practitioner – not even a health visitor because like social workers – they are working remotely???

The impact of this is going to be seen soon enough, some articles are trickling out into the mainstream.

Now its not all about money, in 2012 i was part of a government taskforce that appointed leading technology and software companies to work with NHS trusts to provide a single view of the patient, improve efficiencies via technology so people could have a good level of access and treatment reducing our appalling outcomes. Here are 4 reasons why i had to remove myself from this project;
1) NHS trusts were painfully slow to respond, evasive and refused to take up the technologies
2) 6 trusts spent more than £50 million on technology and never implemented it despite having IT departments on huge salaries
3) The NHS procurement system ensures trusts pay hugely inflated prices for basic commodities that can be sourced for much less – there is zero accountability
4) The sickness rates within hospitals is absolutely way beyond normal, Private sector sick day averages are 6 per year. NHS is 29 days per year

So money isn't the answer – its a beast that cant be fed and while they are spaffing OUR money up the wall we will never get a service that is remotely good enough.

Anyway – this is something i'm more worried about than whether we will all be under water in a few years because frankly – we wont be.

And anyone needing front line treatment from a GP then my god, good luck, my baby didnt manage it when he had a temp and infection, i had to help the NHS by going straight to our overstretched hospital for antibiotics when a GP seeing him could have saved all that.

SAVETHENHS???? Tell that to the nations GP's

Hi, I was having a bed delivered and a lovely little grey and white kitten jumped onto the delivery van. It is very young and doesn't have very good road sense. The postman had seen it wondering around Cotton Mews this morning, and it has obviously made it's way to my estate (Village View Close, near Audlem School). I have taken it into my house. If you have any information please call me on 07807363711.

Can anyone recommend someone to look after my miniature dachshund puppy on 1st July for one night

I noticed an offhand comment in a recent chat box contribution about the NHS having the worst 'outcomes' in the world. I'd be interested in the source for this. I had a small stroke a few weeks ago – it's technically now known as a TIA – that evening I had CT scan and other tests. Over the next few days I had further CT scans, an MRI and ultrasound scan and meetings with two specialists. This wasn't Harley Street it was at our local NHS hospital – Leighton. The NHS has frequently been rated best in the world although last year it was fourth Not the worst!

Ours was emptied at 10.35 this morning, my thanks to the workers.

Grey bin emptied this morning in Hankelow @ 08:30!

I TRAVELED TO LEIGHTON HOSPITAL TWICE THIS WEEK..........TOTAL CHAOS.......... THE DIVERSION SIGNS WERE NOT IN PLACE........THE BACK STREETS OF CREWE WERE JAMMED.......... GIVEN THE TASK INVOLVED, CLOSING OFF ROADS , PERHAPS THE MANAGEMENT OF LEIGHTON , BENTLEY MOTORS AND CHESHIRE EAST SHOULD HAVE MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS .

NHS. PATIENTS GO TO HOSPITALS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A NEED, AND THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE TOTALLY MISLEADING.
THE DIVERSION SIGNS SHOULD SHOW THE BLUE 'H ' SIGN TO AVOID CONFUSION AND GIVEN THE PROFITS ' BENTLEY MOTORS ' MAKE PERHAPS THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION AS A MARK OF GOODWILL. OR AM I BEING SILLY !

It was most thought provoking to read Hannah Platt's comments on the chat forum, especially as regards the NHS. It's certainly evident that more needs to be devoted to mental health care, and beyond the NHS on education.

Rail travel .Bus fares . Insurance . Food. Petrol . Rates .Rents . Cost of living . All massive price increases. No invite invite to a Boris party . what a state the country is in .No worries tho . My grey bin was emptied yesterday . Made my day. the y

I'm rather surprised that residents expect to have some sort of service for their Council Tax payments. Don't they realise that it's a donation?

Seems the editor may have not included my final point which is;
Regarding climate hysteria, as a resident of the UK which is already green taxing us all to kingdom come, my bigger worry would be that the NHS has the worst health outcomes in the western world, id be more concerned about this and the fact that with more houses being built we are less and less likely to have access to GP's medical care and treatment. Because this will actually effect all of us.
