It was an amazing day though I wish I'd heard the half time team talk in the Bokkes dressing room... I wonder if it involved challenges of complacency? They pulled it back tho so a great game!

Our history and heritage is being destroyed by corruption within the council. A listed building church has just been given to islam so they can turn it into a mosque.. no planning permission nothing the fact that it's a listed building shows the council don't give a shit

The peak forest canal is still closed untill further notice as the Canal & river trust are currently carrying out process of undertaking ground investigations of lock 7 before CRT can work to rebuild the lock which is due to commence in the new year from January onwards i hope this helps

There are people that comment on Stoke on Trent in a disparaging manner. I was born in the 50s in the suburbs of Stoke in a little place called Biddulph. My teenage years were spent living and working in both Burslem and Hanley. Yes the place is in decline the sandstone is black because of industry and hard work.
@chrishowell98216 жыл бұрын
No, you were born in the Staffordshire moorlands, actual people from Stoke on Trent do not class the moorlands as part of Stoke on Trent. The best thing about Biddulph is the road out of it, lol. It's a terrible place now with the drugs and crime. Just saying, I'm originally a Meir lad but spent my teenage yrs growing up in Cheadle. I was never accepted and always reffered to as an out of towner. Thank god I moved to Oxford, there is no job prospects for the youth of Stoke these days.
