Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone in the Stoke area has Squirrel Broadband.

They've told me they can provide full fibre to my property, even though no other provider is able to at the moment. If you're with them, how has your experience been? How reliable is the service, and would you recommend them?

Thanks!

I'm starting work in Cheadle, and looking for a place to live in Cheadle to ease the commute to work ( I don't drive), but I don't see any room ads on Spareroom or anywhere; the closest I see is ads in Stoke, any tips on finding places to rent in Cheadle ?

I’m just starting a new job with a train commute, so am planning on cycling to the station and locking my bike up there

I’ve seen signs for the ‘bike hub’ but don’t know much about it.

What’s the process for securing a bike at the station ?

(Ps - autistic so details and step by step please!!)

Anyone is Stoke on Trent have Warhammer nights? I'd like to meet people to meet up and have a few drinks and a laugh and battle.

Hi

Is anyone around here doctor who fans?

More so the retro old school doctor who series?

Looking for photographs from Hem Heath Colliery during the 1984–85 miners’ strike.

My grandad worked there and died when I was very young. We only have a few photographs of him, so I’m trying to find any local strike photos that may include him — picket lines, demonstrations, meetings, pithead photos, etc.

I’ve searched Stoke archives and Hanley museum collections already, but wondered if any local families, former miners, photographers, or collectors might know of private collections or other archives.

Even one photo would mean a lot to our family.

Long haired male here after a barber / stylist to cut my hair / offer advice on potential cuts, I’m aware of the number of barbers in the area however the vast majority seem to specialise in short cuts I.e fades etc.

Just wondering if there is anyone in a similar situation to me who has good experience with any local business?

Hi, I wondered if anybody knew of anywhere I can get a decent quality bottle kiln picture from. I’ve been looking on the internet for pictures but by time I’ve altered the colours I want etc, the quality gets lost.

I want quite a large picture (50cm x 70cm) and I’m trying to alter the colours so it has pink and navy blue tones (I’ve been altering the sky/floor to achieve this at the moment since I can’t find one).

It’s for my hallway so needs to be decent quality. It’s to represent my background/heritage.
Anything out there locally?
Thanks if you can help.

Hi, does anyone know of anywhere with in-stock (to the best of your knowledge) air conditioning units? I cannot find any online at all that are in stock and I want to be prepared for the next lump of heat we get. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

We’ve recently started padel, but wanted to join some team sports - eg particularly a women’s 5 a side league or rounders team. Seems to be next to nothing for women from google searches

Hey everyone, I’m 21 and looking to meet some new people. I’ve got social anxiety, so big group activities and meetups aren’t really my thing.

I’d much rather chat one-on-one, grab a coffee, go for a walk, or just hang out and get to know someone at a slower pace.

If you’re around my age and looking for a new friend too, feel free to send me a message. I’m hoping to make some genuine connections.

I'm 22 quite overweight and have never been into sports. This mostly comes down ti secondary where I was quite bullied and had a ball often blasted into my face during football leaving me bruised after nearly every PE lesson. This has left me very deterred from sports in general. I do often go to the gym when I have the money for a monthly subscription but my social life has been terrible. Because of this I have built up quite alot of weight I'm hoping to lose through being abit more active and being more sporty.

Are there any clubs for sports which would teach someone like me the absolute basics of the sports (preferably not football) maybe even a 1-on-1 session if lucky enough?

Hi

Does anyone know of any game shops other than CEX and game inside sports direct?

The day has come everyone!! Keele university has finally decided to demolish Horwood O block.

It’s made me curious to know what the inside of the building used to and currently looks like. My Google-ing may be terrible but I can’t seem to find any online.

Feel free to share any stories you have head of about the block and Keele too. The lore is fascinating to me and it’s a shame it’s only shared by word of mouth.
