Hello, does anyone have a number for a local person who checks Freesat dishes and repairs them please

I am not entirely convined Eris' aple drop is just a June drop. None of mine have dropped nor anther friend with an extensive orchard. Isuspect there may be a underlying physiologicalproblem., such as a trace element deficiency. Eric does noyt say whih thcvariety is and what surrounds the tre. If grass this will prefertially draw awaytrac elements andother nutrients. I dealy there should be a radius from the trunk of 18-24 inhes of weed and grass free soil. In March /early April this shoul be covered with a good deep mulch such as something as simple as grass clippings. Apples belong to the rose family so before appling the mulch a good dressing of a quality rose fertiliser can be beneficial again some cultivars are more demanding nd greedy than others. Just a few thoughts. Anyway a top dressing now will not go amiss.

With regard to the posting by Joseph Halliday, the Mill Lane that he refers to is Mill Lane, Swanbach with postcodes likely to be CW3 0EH. Mill Lane, Audlem is off the end of Heathfield Road close to the bowling club with postcodes likely to be CW3 0AY. Hope this helps,
It's best to get a post code in addition to the address to ensure the correct location when buying on AOL.

Simple answer – there was more than one mill in Audlem in previous centuries, when the lanes were originally named.

I would describe the road you know as mill lane Swanbach, the other mill lane is the turn on the right as you enter heathfield road before the bowling club. Audlem old mill was in a field down there. There is a book about all the local mills for sale at the canal shop.

Will the real Mill Lane please stand up!

I've been associated with Audlem since 2010 and thought I knew my way around.

Having recently purchased an item on AOL which was too big for transporting on my bike a friend offered to collect it on my behalf. Having put Mill Lane Audlem into his car satellite navigation system he set off.

Now, for me Mill Lane is the cute little road off to the left prior to the river Weaver on the Whitchurch road as you're leaving the village. It's also the location Google maps sends you to as your final destination.

So how did my friend end up at a different Mill Lane in Audlem?

I'm confused.

Hello

Can anyone help with my query Does anyone know a Plumber that deals with Narrowboats.

My Water pump comes on for no reason we have checked for Leaks and all is dry.

Some days it does it few times then sometimes it can be more generally runs for round 5 seconds.

If anyone knows of anyone l'm moored at overwater marina , if anyone can help out that would be great 😊

I would be grateful if anyone living in Coxbank or Audlem can e-mail me any information regarding a wooden seat/bench positioned prior to 1993 at Coxbank.
Has it either been removed, destroyed or is still in use within Coxbank? If it is, where is it situated?
The Register of APC Assets shows two wooden seats or benches within Coxbank. I have found one which is situated on the road up to Coxbank from Green Lane.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Thanks to Hazel Hall and Chris Lewis for their AOL Chatbox replies and Also Bob Fousert for his phone call 'June drop' diagnosis. The problem looks very much like June drop. Also, on closer inspection I noticed a number of tent caterpilars which I have cleared away. No more apples are dropping and those that remain seem to be stable.
Thanks again to all for the replies.

I am looking for an A level Maths Tutor, would anyone know of one around the Audlem area please? Perhaps a lesson every week for a year.

In response to Eric Leeson. I feel your apple tree is suffering from physiological fruit drop commonly called June drop.

Had to smile at the title of the article 'Peace Ringing'. Surely, that would be classed as a good example of an oxymoron.

LT Garage Doors in Stoke are well recommended

I also recommend Lymers in Leek.

In response to Eric Leeson, I have discussd this with another memberof the ADAPT food group(gardeners).We are both at a bit of a loss to supply a diagnosis and really need a little more info.If Eric can visit the Butter Market next Saturday morning betwen 10 and 12 at our ADAPT stall and bring a small branch which has lost its apples but is typical of the general foliage. We will do our best to try and suply an explanation. No promises!!

Our garage door is an "up-and-over" type (not powered) which has broken, irreparably as far as I can see.

I'm looking for a local supplier and fitter of such a door.

Any recommendations gratefully received.

The Bells of Audlem (and the disconnected clock)

Across the parish, woods and fields
The bells of Audlem once more peal
Their joyful tones and melodious song
Again at the centre of where they belong.
And so, between bells and tower
Can Salfords accursed fixed hour
Be restored to life in greatest haste
And so ensure that a more timely pace
Will once more, be fully enjoyed
By all such residents, gainfully employed
And for those who choose to slumber on
Or rely on digital sophistry, be gone
With your newfangled devices
For two centuries or more the bell suffices!

Does anybody know why my 4 year old apple tree is losing its fruit so early in the season? The small apples are about 1 cm across and each morning there are lots of them that have fallen from the tree. Soon there will be no fruit left. If you were to lightly touch the apples some of them would fall to the ground. I have not witnessed any pests or otherwise on the leaves or branches. I planted the tree for our grandchildren to enjoy and it is the only apple tree that we have. I hope somebody on AOL can provide me with advice on what to do.
