Thanks for the recommendation Chloe however I found Andy Burrell of Lock, Stock & Burrell in Nantwich who was with me within 30 minutes of calling him. He is an independent, fully trained locksmith and is not part of a franchise. When you call you actually speak to Andy, not a call centre.

Great service, great workmanship and he supports NHS Staff Discounts.

Hi Shona Thank you so much for that, that is definitely the chap I used before who did a brilliant job, thanks again

I was lucky enough to find Ian Parkinson on the Oil Baron's list of recommendations. His phone number is 01948 666116 or 07918 617744. He repaired the lock on my back door.

Hi Colin, I think it would be Dave Major, 5 Corbet Drive, Adderley, 01630 638588

He is registered as an AGA engineer and does similar, we always found him to be very good.

Hope this helps

Can anybody recommend a mobile hairdresser for ladies hair?
Thanks

I seem to remember using a chap to service my Nobel cooker a few years ago but can't find his contact details. I am pretty sure he came from Adderley, does anyone have his details or those of someone else they could recommend, thanks

Looking for a Locksmith recommendation please.

Thankyou Edwin for your most interesting article. I'm doing some serious research into my family tree presently and some records and information which turns up is fascinating.

Yes – really fascinating and the paintings are really first class and captured the atmosphere and the weather.
Thank you.

Thank you Edwin for sharing with us the Stonehenge letters and pictures. Really interesting.

Lovely to see your news section this morning.... in a time of often-depressing news it was great to be cheered up, and see your long-standing tradition of April "news items" is still going strong(I still remember the Audlem-joins-Wales story!).

Congratulations for the super spoof this morning! Its so pleasing to hear that lockdown has'nt deprived your correspondents of their sense of humour nor desire for a bit of excitement! Local landowners will be rubbing their hands and the Parish Council calling an Emergency meeting.

Readers may be surprised and shocked to know that there is actually a small element of truth in today's HS2 story. My late father (Derek McKelvey) did indeed advocate the building of "Coxbank international" although this proposal was in fact for an airport, rather than a railway station. The idea was formulated by him and the late (and great), John Stothert, former owner of the Canal Shop. John kindly invited my father as a passenger on board his microlight. John having purchased the microlight after being advised by Doctors to give up skiing, after he broke his neck (!)skiing in France – clearly John (also an excellent sailor) wasn't the type of person who was willing to settle for more sedentary pastimes. For their joint maiden flight they had obtained permission for the use of Hardy's fields at Coxbank, as an 'airstrip' – thereafter referred to as Coxbank International. My father would have relished todays feature, particularly as the motto of the rock climbing club he jointly founded was always ; "never let the truth get in the way of a good story" !

Funny April fools on the hs2 Post.

Be careful even if you leave your dog in a car( not advisable for any length of time from now onwards as they heat up very fast). A colleague from Reading reports car windows smashed to steal a couple of Cockerpoos. Fortunately the thief was chased off by bystanders.

Thank goodness a happy ending.
The two black Labradors were found at an address in Stoke this morning.
They are back with their owners now who must be so relieved.
I hope the thieves get the correct punishment as an example to others.

Be careful out there

Hi Just wondering if anyone can reccommend somebody who could prune an old apple tree, it would involve cutting some of the main crown branches, thank you

I wonder if the ferret is indeed a ferret and not a Pole cat. Very similar to ferrets and RSPCA at Nantwich release some at times and it may have become a little domesticated. The real expert on ferrets is of course the much lamented Compo from The last of the Summer wine

Could anyone recommend someone for a job in Audlem dismantling some cat proof fencing ASAP (in the next week) and taking it to Hodnet? The fencing consists of two foot wide boards and rollers which are fixed to the top of a fence in a small garden in the centre of the village.
Thanks

We have had a parcel for Michael Grainger delivered to us in error. If that's you, please call 07936 888180 and we can reunite you.

I wanted to publicly thank the lovely people of Audlem who have found and returned my nephew's bracelet!
He is thrilled and can't believe it has been found...so thank you!
A reminder of the lovely community we are part of in Audlem.

Well Billy....she had definitely finished her lunch and like me would certainly have never eaten any broccoli!! So in theory if it was still on her plate it could be true.

However, it was the view of the trees around Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, which from memory are just like broccoli from the air!

Yes Simon...but; was your daughter looking out of the window of the 'plane OR...looking at her plate when she said it? We need to know this before we can proceed. For IF she was looking at her plate then we shall leave it there. Unless of course, she was looking at her plate and there was NO Broccoli on it, we have a mystery on our hands here! 'Ghost Broccoli' methinks. Conversly; if she said it when she was looking out of the window whilst flying over a Broccoli Farm, again, no big deal. However, the mystery, should there be one, thickens when you realise that 'Plate' and 'Plane' are only one letter differenced. Whereas 'Window' has more letters and none of them are the same as in either 'Plate' or 'Plane' Apart from 'N'.

Think on.......
