I visited Buxton yesterday with my son & elder daughter and took in the Buxton Crescent guided tour (we all found it genuinely interesting and the restoration is absolutely superb). There was a mention by the female guide that a University scheme linked to Buxton (with thousands of European...

....and MATHS.

Yes, that's pretty consistent experience wise with my brother in law (what do you call an exes brother when you were never married....). He has enough problems. Covid did a royal one on them and a bunch of feisty variables making trade more difficult. But this one was actively voted in...

Speaking to my exes brother who's over from Italy to see them for a few days (he left England for Italy when he was around 16 and is now 55). He now runs an Italian furniture manufacturing business after his uncle died last year. They have international offices but trade has been hammered for...

Indeed, I bet that Town Hall today would be a £1billion project today (and just not feasible....not that you'd want to recreate the past). If you think the COOP Arena is £300 million and it's essentially a large empty box (I'm sure a very fine large box however).

...as in I'm 'theoretically dating' Ana De Armas.

I love walking and walk as much as possible. After a split I was about 2.5 miles away from the kids so often walk there and back when I pop round and see them. If go to the office I'll always use tram or train and enjoy doing this. I very, very rarely get taxis (I've walked back from nights...

My mum was brought up in 30p Lee's constituency of Sutton in Ashfield so had a billion nights growing up in the local labour club at weekend visits as a kid ('fizzy pop' of course). My aunty (gran in all but name) used to clean their the next morning and I'd sometime go along with her. The...

20- 36 High Street still a goer? That and the Rylands. building is the best thing to happen for this area in a very long time. Can't feasibly allow that utter shit tip of the Arndale corner and Car Park be allowed to fester. Also, trying to cross high street is an absolutely basket case. of...

Great news. This area (and in fact the wider Piccadilly Gardens) is such a fucking eye sore. I've no idea how the Arndale High Street/High Street in general conundrum will be solved but this must be the state of the solution.

Looks like a Morrisons supermarket flyer.

They were discussing this on Newsnight last night. From that, I can't say I was overly confident it's a given Trump will be charged and WON'T be the president in 2024. Another stop the world I want to get off moment. Then again I recall many commentators ridiculing the idea there was any...

Finally, the validation I always coveted.

That 'losing credibility' line is going to stick very soon (although I think that horse has bolted....*tenuous link to glue there too). https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/01/billionaire-investor-threatens-pull-out-uk-global-outcry-oil-rush-andrew-forrest

All these big coffee chains serve poor coffee. Over roasted cheap stuff but priced like the quality stuff. With that said, they did open the floor for all the independents to open up and thrive....and on a long car journey, a large latter laced with hazelnut syrup is my go to. car treat. I...

Hmmmm...have I missed something? It's a wider bug bear over Manchester's public transport, especially if you spend time in London (never mind other comparable European cities). The the Bus network roll out is a good start (it was an absolute chaotic mess with myriad operators) but the tram...

Starting to fall into place and I feel it will a great venue to visit (and more so as thew wider area develops). Still a concern over transport however (and I can't be the only one).

Not long back. Me and my boy had a blast. Lovely city, very pretty especially when the sun latches onto all that yellow stone than absolutely dominates. Lots of cool little eateries, coffee shops and stuff to do. The Roman Baths were definitely the highlight and my son thoroughly enjoyed...
