Many thanks on Twit Ashley my comment on him are not in anyway meant to offend him or anyone who is related to him ,I was just fascinated with the charm and nostalgia I suppose ,on Audlem’s lost character’s of the past Such a rich heritage, he is probably one of many who have faded into history Moley Hobson! the mole catcher is another famous Audlem character who was mentioned to me who I had never heard of……fascinating

I too highly recommend Huw. He is very professional, skilled and pleasant. I would not use anyone else.

Steph yet again you made me laugh. Having a struggle with many items you mentioned vacuum packs are my nightmare
along with pull rings on tins, that snap off, somehow I can manage the wine🍷!
Thanks for keeping us entertained your items are brilliant.

Thank you Jean could you tell me how to contact him please . Many thanks Lyn

I want to take this opportunity to update everyone on the number of vehicles monitored by the Audlem Community SpeedWatch between the 8th and 17th of October. 24 vehicles were found to have exceeded the speed limit, with recorded speeds up to 50mph. We still do not have enough willing volunteers to conduct additional checks. We are hoping that two more volunteers will come forward so we can carry out between two to three SpeedWatch sessions per week.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email me at gmacbrown@hotmail.com or call my mobile at 07377 623993.
Thank you.

Contact W J Morris Clocks based at Dagfields 01630 659825 – really good service

Hi Susan,
Theres a chap at Dagfields that maibtains and repairs clocks. He has a huge shop and as you can imagine is always busy. We're lucky to have him nearby as there are few left in the country!

W Morris of Market Drayton 01630 659825. Have repaired two of our clocks and would highly recommend.

Huw protheroe is your man excellent workmanship attention to detail
Friendly a very nice man and defently a fab carpenter

In a world where so much trouble and turmoil abounds, thank God for Steph! I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time!!

All true, BTW..

Steph, I can offer hope for a couple of your 'joys':
Stubborn milk tabs – order recyclable glass doorstep delivery
Stubborn jar lids – bash the lid with a wooden spoon/rolling pin/branch of an ADAS Christmas tree*
Wine corks – drinking wine is over-rated**

*coming soon
**what?

Try W.J.Morris clocks based at Dagfields. They have a website. Has repaired clocks and a barometer for us. Highly recommended

There is a clock repair shop at Dagfields which may be able to help.

I have a natural wood, wall mounted Westminster chiming clock, which has suddenly stopped working. It’s been a few years since it was last serviced, but the gentleman who used to service it has now retired. Does anyone know of someone fairly local who does repairs or services this type of clock? Many thanks.

I have a new Samsung TV and surround sound speaker combo, and I can’t figure out how to set them up properly together. Anyone out there know of anyone with appropriate skills? It doesn’t have to be a pro. TIA

Does any one know of a good reliable carpenter please .

Can highly recommend Elkins Chimney Sweep
07423 551417.

My predecessor at the pharmacy had an on going disagreement with Twit over a bounced cheque for 19 shillings and 6 pence, so he must have had a cheque book and so unlikely to have lived under a tauporlin.
Smithy having banned him from the shop enforced the ban with a collection of bad language one Saturday in 1985 .
Now my memory for familial links is known to be poor and I'm not wanting to be rude in any way but was he related to Prim and her floral sisters.

Beware there are thieves about. Our stables were broken into again, but the two pieces that were in there were too heavy or else they were disturbed as they left them behind outside. I have reported it to the police.

Anybody lost digital TV aerial signal lately for prolonged period?

Hi Margaret,

I can thoroughly recommend Haycocks Chimney Sweeps.

I have used Martin Williams of Haycocks for years and for fitting stoves too.

His mobile is 07966 157658

Nigel.

Thanks for the information reference the "Twit" things make a lot of sense now.

If the person who asked about 'Twit' Ashley has got slightly confused and actually meant Jack Healey (to be honest, I agree with Judy in that the description does fit Jack more) then, if you don't need my story about 'Twit' I can furnish you one regarding Jack, as I suspect, could most people from the Village of a certain age.

Can anyone recommend a good local chimney sweep in the Audlem area or someone who has had a good job done by one.

I knew Bert when he lived at Emberton place.
