I have an old ‘international’ stamp album dating from around 1970. I also have very low expectations in respect of its fate. Certainly no illusions that it has any financial value whatsoever. Maybe 100 or so pretty stamps though.

It’s just a case of the bin or whether anyone wants it.

Apparently, according to r/stampcollecting, there are still some stamp clubs or people use old ‘fancy’ stamps for decorative purposes. Anything like this in Stockport I could donate to?

Walking around Edgeley today I notice many houses with Sattelite dishes still on the front of their houses. Are dishes actually needed these days?

We are looking ideally for a house in Marple Bridge but obviously there's few on the market in this small area.

We don't want to go further than New Mills but what areas around Marple Bridge give the same feel? 40s, no kids, dog, want a garden, quiet, not main road and safe to walk with parks and rural spots. Desperate to be in the countryside as much as possible but need to get to London once a month for work and partner travels to Midlands once a week.

Appreciate this gets asked a lot but I am just so lost trying to figure out what the surrounds are like and can't hold out forever for Marple Bridge in case it never happens. No house to sell. Thanks

What’s a good taxi company for trips to the airport these days? I used to use Lynx, but had a bad experience with them recently where a driver hadn’t actually been allocated to the job and they didn’t tell us.

It‘a an early start, so need a guaranteed booklong.

TIA!

Hi we are looking to hire a place for our little ones first birthday. Ideally somewhere where we can fit 30-40 people and hire out a soft play/bouncy castle. Preferably around bramhall area.

Thank you :)

Hello all.
I am a bloke in his mid 40s who really needs to shift some timber.
Can anyone recommend a personal trainer who they really like? I would like someone who isn't in the first flush of youth (so appreciates the issues of not being 20); who will kick my arse occasionally, but do it with a smile - I don't like being shouted at; and can hold a conversation.

I don't want to get jacked, just lose the timber & get fit - anyone who can help with nutrition would be great. Am happy to travel reasonable distances. I will also take classes suggestions but I work weird hours, so it'd have to be around that.
Thanks!

Does anyone know why there’s almost a constant sea of ambulances / sirens that run through Bredbury?

They almost only ever seem to go one way too, towards Woodley etc.

Hi all,

In advance, I know the 'how is it like to live in Edgeley' posts are all over, but i'm looking for something more specific - particularly from young women living in the area maybe?

I'm viewing a house near Hollywood park (the Aberdeen crescent side), and the inside of the house is perfect, although i've got mixed feelings after walking around the area. I currently live in a rural market town, so equally I'm aware this could just be me feeling the shift to living somewhere more city centre.

I'm curious to know if the area around Hollywood Park (Aberdeen Crescent side) has a reputation or feel? I have visited properties closer to Alexandra park, and maybe felt like that area felt a bit safer? I spend a lot of time on my own, and walking my dog in the evenings, so i'm grateful for any responses from similar people too.

We were initially looking at Bredbury, which felt more family-based and residential, but didn't really have much going on - can't have it all I suppose!

Thanks in advance! Please don't be mean lol - from an anxious first-time buyer

Can anyone who lives in (or has in the past) share anything about the parking situation as a resident of the Wellington Mill flats?

We are interested in renting there but the estate agent hasn’t been able to tell us anything helpful. On street view it looks like there is only metered parking nearby, but it’s hard to tell.

We only have on small car and wouldn’t mind walking a few minutes, but don’t want to have a difficult search for parking every single day after work (it’s necessary to drive, public transit isn’t an option unfortunately.)

Hi everyone im 24yo Male and i want to get into fishing but dont know a think about it or how to fish ive never been shown how to fish is there possibly any one who could teach me and be a fishing buddy or give me advice on how to fish

My daughter has expressed an interest in doing some kind of martial arts, primarily for self defense. Does anybody have any recommendations of a) which martial art and b) somewhere that does kids classes?

I heard about Krav Maga which sounds pretty kick ass, but struggling to find classes for kids.

Had my bike chained up outside the gym group gym near the light cinema, some how got stolen broad daylight, any help on what to do after reporting to police would be class

As the above says, my Audi will be out of warranty soon, and I want to try and get ahead before it bites me on the arse.

Where's the best alternative/independent garage that deals with Audi and has access to their database (cause I no longer have a paper service book, etc it's all online!) and won't stiff me cause I'm female?

(Unfortunately, it happens, and it's frustrating cause I have a bit of engineering experience (aircraft, not cars, but some of it translates, so I'm not thick and I just don't want to work on my own car).

Thanks

Does anyone know of a place local that’s selling eclipse glasses? I missed the opportunity to get any online.

Hi guys

I need someone to replace the window regulator for my car.

Recommendations for garages/mechanics in Stockport or nearby are most welcome.
