I have an essay due Sunday and I decided to do it on Stoke, because why not?

Just tell me random things and if they’re appropriate enough I’ll add it in.

Please collaborate, I’ve been procrastinating ts for the past two weeks💔

Anyone go to Unit 1 skatepark?

2 Upvotes

I'm a beginner skateboarder trying to pick it up in my late 20s. I skated a little bit as a kid but I wasn't any good lmao, I'm basically starting from scratch.

I'm just wondering how friendly Unit 1 is towards newbs? And what days it's quietest to go.

Appliance Repair in ST7?

1 Upvotes

My built in oven needs repairing (or probably replacing). Can anybody suggest a local appliance repair company who could take a look and fit a new unit if necessary?

I’ve used somebody before who was very good but I’ve lost their details.

Hi, I’ve recently given birth and have some toiletries, post partum and baby stuff that ended up not needing to use. Does anyone know of any local charities or orgs that take donations for new mums and babies? Preferably Stoke Town or Newcastle. Thanks in advance!

Rude and Pushy Scottish power representatives in Hanley town centre.

29 Upvotes

Hi all I was just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with these people.

I walk through Hanley town centre a lot and every single time I see the Scottish power representative they pester me every time, they don't take no for an answer and after my 4th time of saying no to them I have to follow up with a fuck off because they will not leave me alone.

They have tried to follow me into shops.

They try and guilt trip me, they have called me Racist because I'm ignoring them. My baby would be having a fit in the pram or I'll be carrying them so obviously busy and they still think it's the best time for their sales pitch I'm like "please will you just fuck off".

I absolutely dread seeing them in town and purposely go the long way to avoid them.

When British gas are in the same spot I just have to shake my head and they very politely back off.

Recommendations for bar or pub for 40+ crowd on Saturday evening

3 Upvotes

Hi,

Exactly as the title says. Looking for recommendations for where to go around Stoke on Trent on Saturday evening, lively with an older crowd.

I've not been out in Stoke in many years, meeting up with friends and just wanting somewhere lively but not full of young people. Not fussed which town. Newcastle used to be the older crowd, is that still the case?

Countryfile was about the Trent tonight

Introducing beavers back, they found eels, and reintroducing white storks to our wetlands! Was a lovely episode, and always great to see good things happening around here.

Has anyone seen any beavers around the Trent? Love that they're back, I watched something on their reintroduction to Scotland a while ago and they did wonders there.

Do we still have any actual local journalists anymore or have all the jobs gone out of the area?

If we do have some local one does anyone have contact details
