Hi, yes I am experiencing poor broadband speeds.
I am with EE.
Mount Pleasant.

What's going in in the field? The gate is open and there are a couple of cars parked on the top field and a couple on the bottom field, with evidence of much traffic going across between the two over the small bridge.

Hi all, is anyone else experiencing very low broadband speeds at the moment. I'm in Heathfield Road, it's very slow here. Just wondering if there's a wider issue?

Me too please, I have an operation coming up and would be very grateful for some help around the house.. Coole Lane area, 07752 002954 , thank you 🙏

Anne, we do need a cleaner at our home in Audlem, please email me at penny.holton99@gmail.com.

Popped into the Co-Op earlier at lunchtime to witness the tail-end of an elderly lady ranting and berating the lady cashier.
I actually heard her from outside of the shop before entering!
I don't know what the cause of her tirade was but her behaviour was, and is unacceptable. It was only yesterday on the news about retail staff being abused by customers.
The lady cashier seemed shaken by the incident but said she was OK when asked.
There is no excuse for the customers actions and she should be ashamed of herself.
The Co-Op and it's staff were there for us during the pandemic supporting the local community and it's staff deserve to be treated with respect at all times regardless if you're having a bad day or stressed.
If the said lady reads this perhaps you'll have the decency to go in and apologise to the cashier.

Hi I'm currently looking for a little cleaning job,have had many happy customers over the years. I'm a wizz with the hoover and duster so if anyone in the village or surrounding area needs that little extra help please send me a message looking forwards to hearing from you

Zalena – we moved to Sky from BT a few months ago and have had no problems with coverage/speed and it is much cheaper than BT.

Hello we're thinking of moving to sky broadband and wondered if anyone in the village could advise whether the coverage/speed etc is any good?

Currently with BT and had no problems but costs are pushing me to consider another provider. Thanks

A few more collective nouns that spring to mind. A strike of train drivers – A splash of decorators – A leak of plumbers – A bouquet of florists – A whiff of farmers – A rollaround of footballers – A privilege of royals – A scum of fly-tippers and – A succession of prime ministers. And one just for the editor A cough of smokers – A Hunger of Dieters – A Rotation of Tories
Ps definition Arizona – the person that owns Harry

Hello would the gentleman who had an exercise bike on buy and sell could you please re send address many thanks

One of my favourites is a richness of martens.

The clocks will soon be going back back, the nights are drawing in, and the trees are dressed in their glorious autumnal foliage. In our skies geese are flying in their distinctive wedge formations, the augury that Winter is coming. They are later this year due to the recent milder temperatures. This 'V' shape is known as a skein or a wedge and it helps the flock fly faster as the front bird breaks the wall of air ahead, leaving a wake of swirling air behind which propels the next bird forward, so each bird gets some help from the one in front. The leader will then drop back and another goose will take its place.

There are however, other collective nouns for geese when in flight including a team and in other parts of the world a chevron (it`s easy to see why).

For transparency and objectivity, Geese are not the only birds that travel in skeins; the term also refers to ducks and other migratory birds that travel in flocks.

For those readers who like collective nouns for types of birds. There's a mischief of Magpies, a parliament of owls, a murder of crows etc all to be seen in our great village. Some of the more descriptive are for various mammals eg a dazzle of Zebras and a crash of Rhinos neither of which can be found locally unfortunately
