I agree with CE that they need more money to repair the roads, but in 2022, there must be a better way to repair the roads. On average, on the roads around Audlem, the pothole repair lasts about 1 week. Some are damaged the same day they are repaired – what a waste of time and money!

Ivermectin has been used to treat Onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis in Humans to call it just a cow wormer is completely wrong. We also use penicillin in cattle would you class that as a cow antibiotic. I in no way am agreeing with using ivermectin to treat covid 19 but it is not just a animal medication

Ralph I enjoy your musings in your introductions to the football reports. In your report of 1/2/22 re. the many names for 'humble carrrot' in other languages, I was struck by the similarity of the Swedish word "morot" to the Welsh word which is "moron". If there is a connection, does it hark back to the days of the Viking invasions and settlement I wonder.
Congratulations to the team for its general success too.

In a belated reply to Marilyn Paxton's request for a roofer, I would highly recommend Paul Threadgold – tel: 079 604 515 73 . He has done some work for me on a couple of occasions and I have been very pleased with his honest assesment, his work and his costs.

Just read in the news today that Wordal has been sold to the New York Times for a seven figure sum. Is there any truth in the rumour that our editors have sold Cows and Bulls and are off to warmer climes? Where would we be without our morning read...?!

Worried of Audlem

It's a powerful message from Mr Morgan. From what I've read elsewhere 90% of COVID patients occupying ITU beds are now the unvaccinated. It's a rather semantic criticism about the use of the word vaccine in connection with tattooing, but it makes the point quite powerfully that those choosing not to be vaccinated happily consent to have all sorts of potentially far more dangerous substances in their body with the hilarious example of people believing some social media nonsense and taking a cow dewormer, invermectin, but refusing a proven safe vaccine. As to "freedom to choose" what about those exercising their "right" to choose taking up NHS resources that are then denied to others who have need through no fault of their own, or infecting others who have compromised immune systems or are otherwise more vulnerable. I read of one case in the US where a man died of sepsis because all the hospital beds were tied up with the unvaccinated and he could not be admitted. Vaccination is a social responsibility.

The word vaccine comes from the cowpox virus vaccinia which derives from the Latin word vacca for cow not sure how this in any way relates to tattoos or people's freedom to choose what substance is injected in there body

Is there any village events this year for the Platinum jubilee, maybe street party in the park ?

A gentleman at a recent country pursuits day was talking to a person of authority who works at the Royal Stoke Hospital, so he enquired if they had many Covid patients in the ICU The reply was 22 of whom only 2 had been vaccinated, one having had 2 jabs and the other only one. He then asked if there was anything the unvaccinated patients shared in common. The reply, was that they all wheezed, 'I wish I'd had the vaccination!'
An observation, don't tattoos also qualify as vaccinations? They involve the subcutaneous injection of foreign substances into the skin, yet you don't hear a fuss being made about that form of vaccination, but I suppose that's art innit.

Well done Brian ,however whatever happened to the Saint George Flag . After all it is the Church of England .

I have just taken the flag down, and as a precaution from incoming storms, I have decided not to put another one up for at least the next two weeks.

The net at the edge of the flag, on the one taken down, was starting to come loose. Once the net goes, the next to tear would be the flag. Storms tend not to be very kind to flags, and we did get a few of the flags damaged in some of the storms last winter. Hence, in light of incoming storms, I have decided not to hoist another one up.

Each of the flags damaged last year were kindly repaired by Olive, and once again this time, Olive has offered to re-attach the net to the flag.

Thanks.

To all young people
Don't laugh at me when I ask you to back up my computer.
I taught you how to use a spoon.

Hi, we require the roof ridge tiles on a 3 storey town house to be repointed, and the roof tiles to be cleaned...scraped not jet washed, plus a small portico roof above the front door.
If anyone can recommend a suitable contractor that would be great and much appreciated.
Thank you.

Elizabeth I think that Ken was referring to my chatbox post a few days ago. At that time the rules explanation which John had written when he programmed the game and put it up had not been put online.
In response to another post I think John did put up some explanations for all the games he programmed for Audlem Online That was some time ago but I would willingly try to explain if still needed. He is a little bit busy at the moment.Our daughters prompted him to makr available the Cows and Bulls he wrote which is proving to be another distraction for some of our games addicted grandchildren.

Thanks Lesley for your informative post. I have to say, like many others, with the amount of work on that field and the amount of mud left on the road, I had assumed that whatever development was going on had already received planning permission. This is evidently not the case and planning permission has not been given. The fact that the plans indicate that a new road from the farm will exit on to the A529 at the bottom of the field is perhaps an issue worth considering in relation to safety and speed limits. The other interesting aspect of the plans for me was that the landowner states in the plans that the footpath which begins at the bottom of the field is 'unacceptable'. We have seen recently how difficult it is to restore a footpath blocked by a landowner and surely it is up to the community and its representatives to decide over the acceptability of a public footpath and right of way not a single individual.

Ken said 'well explained' . Have I missed something? Were the rules explained somewhere?

Glad you made it home from your holiday without any delay, also relieved as I am back in Audlem again tomorrow, happy days.

Due to an accident, HGV turned over and has caused damage to the road.

Well explained Ann, perhaps you should re-write and simplify rules for other games as many are more complicated than the games themselves. Someone connected with television has re-created the game, called it Lingo and earned themselves a few quid for doing it and also for some contestants as well.

Hello,
Are you concerned about the large scale work currently occurring in the field by the dip near Corbrook Court Nursing Home on the main Hankelow to Audlem road?
Take a walk on the footpath to get acquainted with what is going on perhaps?
An extraordinary meeting has been scheduled by Hankelow Parish Committee on Tuesday 1st February at 7pm at the Hankelow Chapel Sunday School Room.

At the risk of appearing a bit dumb, I would like an explanation of the rules for the sudokus too please. I do the standard one every day and the day is ruined on the odd occasion it is not working. Although, I now spend between 9 and 20 minutes doing the one sudoku, if I knew how to do the others it could mean another hour hour with my feet up!!

Regardings today's article by Cheshire East Council.
How good of CEC to be seen to be listening to residents at last, a real road to Damascus moment for them. Oh, hang on, I see the latest date for submissions is the 26th and it is now the 27th. Sly and slithering blighters they are for sure.

Walking the dog earlier than usual on Wednesday morning whilst still dark, I saw for a period of about five minutes or so just after seven, a display of moving balls of lights in the sky at a low angle to the north over Crewe direction. The cloud base was low and I concluded that it was probably someone with a laser display reflected off the cloud base. Having previously seen the northern lights it was certainly nothing of the same ilk. I then read in this weeks Chronicle of strange lights recently seen over Middlewich which is food for thought. I have a video of the lights but unfortunately it is not very clear. If it was a laser display it would be useful to have it confirmed. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the northern skies to see if there are further sightings.

Hi can anyone recommend a local guttering replacement company please
