I have spoken to Andy Passant recently & sadly he is no longer operating a taxi service. Such a shame as he was excellent.

Steve, We have found ABBEy TAXIS 01270 212 125 to be very good – comfortable and reliable.
Bon voyage, Geraint

Hi. Has anyone got a medium sized folding table, has to be strong, that I can borrow or a stall tomorrow afternoon.

Steve,

You could try Andy Passant from Market Drayton. 07798 936623. Not sure if he is still in business though.

Thanks Josien, that's really helpful.

Haven't flown anywhere for ages, so can anyone recommend a taxi for Manchester airport and back, please?

Thanks to all those people who sent messages of help when moving a wardrobe.
Billy was a shining example of kindness.

Royal Mail must be the only business in the country that allows its staff to choose their own jobs regardless of knowledge or performance. In future training manuals on motivational leadership they will be the shining example of how NOT to motivate your employees. Despite our letters to Royal Mail , support from our MP and our local councillor and a petition of several hundred names, the customer is ignored yet again.
Ant and Sam, I'm not sure who is going to miss you most , the humans or the dogs in the village. Best wishes for the future and if you are ever in the village you are more than welcome to pop in for a cup of tea – I think you know where I live !😃

Hi Jennie. Did you get sorted to move your wardrobe? If not get intouch and we can probably help. Carolyn

Hi the towpath to Overwater is well maintained and made up of compressed gravel. No problems with buggies, just a bit nettlely in places at the moment. To get to the marina cross over bridge 80 and follow the track round. Great coffee and cake at the bridge 80 cafe @ the marina!

We're both sad to see you being moved on. You should be preserved (not in vinegar!) as a Village Treasure. I would love to know the reasoning behind their 'thinking' – it makes no sense from where I'm sitting.

Enjoy your holiday. Good luck in your new post (no pun, well, maybe a small one) and I hope they realise what an asset they are getting.

Our postie Ant has been delivering mail for the last 17 years , some times our road has been flooded and he still wades through the flood to deliver our mail. Always extremely friendly, polite and helpful. Ant we will miss you. Why the Post Office think its a good idea moving staff who are perfectly happy in there job and bringing a completely new person in is beyond me . Experience is accumulated knowledge which surely should be valued and retained because this is beneficial to all. The Post Office is extremely misguided in its approach to customer service.

I would like to wish Ant and the other two Posties who have also been transferred to new areas the very best for the future.

I have 13 pieces of jade green curtain material, approx 50cm x120cm each, plus a load of curtain tie backs. Free to a good home if you think you can make use of them.

Thank you for your lovely message Ant. You are the best postie that Audlem could have wished for. Always so friendly & helpful & happy to go beyond the call of duty. We will all be very sad to see you leave & will really miss you. With best wishes for the future & hoping that you enjoy your new position.

Hello to All in Audlem
Thank you all so much for our efforts to allow me to continue to deliver letters in the Village and surrounding area but unfortunately another postie has now picked my round.
I would like to Thank Everyone for being so Friendly, Kind and Generous for all the years I have had the pleasure and privilege to deliver your mail. I will miss all of you so much, the People, the Dogs and the Village.
I am here until 26 August 2021 when I go on holiday for two weeks and whilst I hope to be around for a little while after that, I can't be sure, so wanted to say Goodbye now.
Thank you all again, it has been more than just a job, its been a joy.
Ant

I have recently moved to the village with my family and wondered if anyone can tell me if the towpath from Audlem to Overwater Marina is suitable for a fairly sturdy pushchair? Many thanks

Keen to renovate my bathroom, it is too small to be fancy, but recommendations for any tradespeople are warmly welcomed, thank you.

Recently a gentleman from a canal boat asked my husband and I if we knew what was happening to the old school/nursing home. We have no idea. Does any one know? It is sad to see such a lovely old building and the small properties within the grounds being derelict when we have a housing shortage in this country.

Pete Bentley, Audlem Electricals, only on Windmill drive!

Hi lovely helpful Audlem people, thanks for your advice and offers. I have been lent a machine by a very kind lady and the first set of curtains are finished and up. Only 6 more to go.
Thank you
Josien

Looking for a reliable and local electrician to fit external/internal lights. Any recommendations?

I too encountered this dog yesterday morning on the bridle path before it went across the footpath in the field towards Monks Lane. It is off putting to come across a dog without an owner as at one point it stood and stared at me. The irresponsible side of this is also that the owners have no idea where this dog is doing its mess which also explains for some of those left on local footpaths. I have also seen this dog on the canal so it travels some distance. If you don't want your dog then please find it another home.

Hi Josien and welcome to Audlem.

If you are not able to source a sewing machine, I would recommend dropping them into our fabulous Audlem Dry Cleaners, run by Sevi and Michelle. Their turn-around for turn-ups is excellent.
