Does anyone have any horses that they need help with or any to loan? Just don't have time to have one full time. Thanks

How fortunate we are to have amongst us a raconteur that can regale us with tales of an excursion to a faraway Knutsford supermarket. I read in the article that a compilation of stories gathered from his exploits around the world is in the offing. With The Middle East and Asia his playground he might even be able to challenge the literary works of Ian Fleming.

Whilst on the whole I found Steph's article amusing I couldn't help but think how I, as a mere man, would be vilified and castigated by the woke brigade if I had made a similar comment about women as in the second of her 'Thoughts'. We live in strange times!

Hi, I need to set up a Wi-Fi extender for my garden. Anyone recommend anyone that can do it ? We live in Audlem , it's. Wavlink repeater , thanks all, Shelley

Please can AOL give Steph her own regular column on its website ? – her contributions never fail to entertain & amuse ! More please.

Thank you Steph for making me chuckle this morning – always look forward to your articles – keep them coming.

Dear Stephanie, as a mother , wife ,grandmother and general dogsbody may I say you are the only person who can make me laugh before 8am. . I highly endorse all that you say and please keep em coming, you are a tonic !

Oh Steph please write more, your articles make such a refreshing read compared with some of the stuff that gets onto AOL.

I agree with all that Andrew has said. Can't join a journey that a friend is taking because it says it's fully booked even though they are the only person on it. Always been unable to book anything due to no availability even though there is nobody on board when it passes by me waiting for a taxi.

The Go Too bus is a great idea in theory but has some practical issues.

The booking app is awful, buses that are not available have one or two people in them and on two occasions they wouldn't pick us up on the return journey because the pick up point was different.

I understand there are practical issues setting a new system up but all in all I believe the system is too flawed at the moment.

In addition I never got a reply to an e mail sent outlining my concerns.

I really hope it gets better as the normal bus service is now very poor.

Does anyone know of a plumber who could fix our burst water pipe in the kitchen that needs attention? Please let us know asap via Audlem online or ring us on 01270 811659. Thank you

Hi we have recently used a really good plumber called Josh (sorry I can't remember hissurname). He fitted a new water tank for us and his knowledge of plumbing was exceptional. He is well used within the village and comes highly recommended. Telephone 07975671694

Hats off to Matt the proprietor. Best of luck to him with bed to 5 k run , be it on Turnpike or around the Playing field . As it is also raising much needed money for children's charity. Well done lad . Furthermore your contribution to the village gym does not not go unnoticed. I speak for plenty of locals when I say Wellcome to Audlem and best of luck with your new business.

St Lukes Fire Walk

I posted on the web site an appeal for sponsorship for myself walking some 16-20 feet on hot embers to raise much needed funds for this noble and much admired Hospice.

I am still hoping for more sponsorship – its a very good cause! Please don't hesitate to contact me

PS This is my very first ever Chatbox submission

Hello, can anybody please recommend an accredited local plumber to attend a leak on an unvented water tank?
Thank you

Nick, Forgot to say that I used an app called Train Pal to book tickets on which you can get some very good deals. I was saving up to £100 on trips between Plymouth and Crewe.

Nick – I would think that Ian from A1 Taxis in Wybunbury could help you – 07841 841814

We have just driven down Green Lane and dropped into a big pothole just before the temporary lights heading out of the village. We reported it to Cheshire East but wanted to warn everyone that it's very dangerous particularly to motorbikes and cyclists. It was full of water hence the reason we didn't realise it was a large hole until we fell in it!

Hello Nick, Don't bother with a taxi. Catch a train from Crewe directly to the airport. More likely than not it is cheaper, so much quicker and avoids any traffic problems. I've used it numerous times and found it to be very good.

Reply to Nick. We've used WESTSIDE TAXIS 01270 211 222 – on a number of occasions and found them very reliable.

Hi does anyone know of a local/is reliable taxi service that can do a return journey to Manchester airport run in November?

Hi all,
Thanks you for your comments regarding our menu, i would just like to submit a response to show we are listening and have accommodated as much as we can.
Vegetarian / Vegan.
we take on board that the copy of of first menu wasn't easy to understand and need clarifying, however the majority of the responses was for vegetarian. This we then accommodated more then vegan, however some of the dishes we are serving just needs the dairy product removed to make it vegetarian. We are also a new team of staff working in a brand new building with new customers, this therefor has been taken into account on building the menu and creating dishes. The team we have in the kitchen will not have the time to hand make every dish, this is simply not practical, economical or viable in this current climate. I would like to advise you all that our unit price for electric is £1.38 and yes i know there is government help for 6 months but how that looks still isn't clear or clarified to what happens in 6 months time.
I also run other pubs and cafes and for the combermere i have spend more time, effort and took more options on our menu then ever before, this is shown with the current 35 variations of our mains, yes just mains. This isn't something that can be undertook lightly in the kitchen hand producing every dish, our that fact of factoring energy prices, this isnt sustainable. We wont be able to afford to have the cooking equipment on all day baking individual dishes.
We are trying our best to accommodate as many people as possible, however how our menu looks now is how it will look until we have settled into the pub, know more about customer demand and know what is selling and not selling. I have had message regarding pasta dishes, more fish dishes and also then more vegan dishes. Like i said earlier with 35 variations on mains we can't keep adding dishes.

I would also like to mention that we really feel blessed to have started our tenure of this amazing pub in this amazing location, the overwhelming support we have had is amazing and we fell that we have been welcomed with open arms. We certainly feel the pressure and are taking every step we can to make this a amazing success and bring another pub which has its door shut back open and into the community.

p.s spelling isn't my strong point, however i can run a cracking business.

We would love to use the GO TOO bus more often, but each time we've tried it isn't available. Some pals have had more success booking it than we have. Maybe they've heard about my love of Shiraz :-O
