I must say that my concerns with the comments on Facebook also apply to the people who work so hard with this fantastic page. The abuse the members of the AOL team have also been receiving is disgusting

Also if you get on your Facebook page you can easily remove comments if the issue is that AOL can not gain access and run the Facebook page properly then maybe they should not have a Facebook page. It's a definite worry that not only are people who have done nothing being targeted in this witch hunt but these comments on Facebook could very easily effect any future court case regarding what's happened recently

If you are not able to properly control the comments on a post then it should be removed it's a very simple process. Something must be done to stop these vile comments towards people until we know the full facts about things

The Facebook postings mentioned by Stewart Rose are certainly of a bullying nature, but it is wrong to suggest that AOL web team are "allowing" these postings while disallowing them on AOL. The fact is, they have no control over postings on Facebook any more than anyone else does. The only remedy open to AOL (as with any other user of Facebook) is to request the postings to be taken down. The decision to comply with such request rests with Facebook moderators alone.

Will the bird flu outbreak near Checkley stop the local pheasant shoots ?

Why do some people need to be so sour? If a news article is of no interest to you then just exercise the option to not read it.
Ralph is a prominent local and does tons for the village. I enjoy his occasional articles. Perhaps if the complainant has something better to offer then they should submit it.

You put statements about allowing comments but you just allow abusive comments on your Facebook page. The comments made by some people are basically bullying and you are allowing it to happen you should be ashamed

Hi who is your provider?

Could someone please explain what a trip to China in 1972 has got to do with the life of this village!!

Although I'm no longer an Audlem resident, I do like to keep up with AOL and I found Ralph's article to be of particular interest whilst I sit in my hotel quarantine room in the very pleasant Chinese coastal city of Xiamen.

I suppose travel to China isn't much easier right now, all visas issues prior to March 2020 are now voided and new visas are particularly difficult to acquire. Finding flights is just as challenging, I had to wait six weeks for a flight with open seats. On the plus side, the food in Xiamen is quite good, being based on the Min cuisine which is one of the eight traditional cuisines of China and possibly my favourite. Next stop is Tianjin, another coastal city but on the Bohai sea and I expect quite a bit colder.

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 🙏

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
