I don't think the Rugby Club have had theirs yet. I think it's the 8th November.
The Scouts have one, top end of Nethermoor Road but again I don't think they've had it yet.

Welcome to the forum, Agent O.
They must have plenty of money!
We could only afford to let them off on the night

I actually laughed when I first saw all the lights round that roundabout.
It looked ridiculous.
Yesterday on my way back from the vets heading towards Tupton they were ON.
I was fortunate as my approach was on Green so apart from a slow crawl up to them I went through ok.
The other way from Tupton there were vehicles stood all the way to the MacDs roundabout.
I'll be using Hepthorne Lane way into Clay Cross more often!7

A band from Manchester {I always thought they were from Liverpool, shows how much interest I had in them}
Their publicity photo's don't help either especially the publicity picture of the two brothers together it always reminds me of the infamous Kray twins, the two brothers have the look of "You'd better come to our gigs, if you don't we know where you live".

If their publicity photo's are taken to make them look sinister.....it's working.

Not taken much notice TBH.
Now if we were to roll the clock back to the 60s Liverpool group I would be in a queue waiting for tickets ;)

Spot on Sorastro. It is the parenting.

Those games shouldn't be allowed in the home infact I don't agree with the making of them.
We had fights as kids, children do.
If I went home crying because someone gad hit me I was shoved back through the door telling me to go hit them back :-? I wouldn't do that but it was only hands not weapons.
We are in a violent world now

Rants / Motability
« on: October 05, 2024, 01:43:51 PM »
Before i begin this I need to say this isn't a rant about Motability who have been more than helpful.
Short version - a scratch on the back of car whilst hoisting the chair into the back of the car.
I was offered a curtesy car which I accepted as was told it would be away for a week.
Daughter had a medical appointment.
A car was booked and I stipulated twice it needed to be a low car with room for a folding manual wheelchair. I needed it by lunch time on the day our car was going in.
I had a text from the hire company that the car would be with me at 6pm or just after - no good to me.
So, Ok I decided to sort the transport out myself.
Ordinary taxi which could take daughter and PA plus fold up manual chair to daughters appointment.
( Her normal taxis do school runs and would be available to transport her in powered wheelchair)
No problem said Motability we can arrange a taxi - brilliant I didn't know they provided that service.
Taxi arrived on time and transported in powered wheelchair to medical appointment.
PROBLEM - the company couldn't then get transport to get them back home.
It was getting cold and shops about to close so I cancelled the taxi ( they were still looking 20 minutes after she should have been picked up!!

Hire car arrived in the middle of the afternoon - it's HUGE no way can daughter get in that - need frigging ladders which she can't climb any way.
Result I refused to drive it and instructed Motability to cancel it.
It's currently still sitting on our drive!

To motability, i suggest maybe a scrutiny of car hirer used and taxi company.

Some of this has to be because of the games they are playing on the Xboxes or whatever they use these days.
It's not a real world they are playing but they can't always separate that and the result is the horrendous
crimes we are now hearing about.
Talking to Police a few weeks ago, this subject came up and I was told they are going to school to talk to children explaining that the games they play are not real life - basically it's to try and make them aware they need to separate fiction and fact!
Back onto the technology of another thread!

I've just counted up and I've been working ( employed) for 60 years!!
Not counting the chores I had to do at home from the age of 11 years.
Giving my baby brother his orange juice before going to school ( age 11 years)
Scrubbing the kitchen floor before going to the Saturday film club in Chesterfield, making the coal fire, washing ( Poncho) and ironing - that was when we heated the irons up on top of the stove and I was shown how to spit on the iron to make sure it was hot enough before starting  :))
It goes on ----- but I'll tell you what it's not done me any harm!!

I agree Sorastro, we have new businesses hopefully coming into Clay Cross but will they maintain their presence.
So many are buying over the internet now and driving businesses out.
I had a belly full during Covid when I ordered and had delivered my groceries. Veg was what ever they put their hands on first looking at what I had delivered. Somethings out of stock not giving me the chance to browse for something else.
Clothes I like to look at and shoes - I won't buy online.
I order occasionally items which I would struggle to buy in shops.
We no longer use Royal Mail unless really necessary we send emails.
The children are spending too much time playing on games in their bedrooms. as children we were outside interacting with other children and taking an interest in nature and enjoying back to basic fun.
I post old photographs  on Tupton pictures and the interest and memories an old photograph brings is proof we enjoyed a good fun childhood.
I feel sorry for the children of today - they don't know what they are missing out on.
