I like this forum, you can moan in private 1-1!

[John Ellis]

Now is that a threat or a promise, BG?!

Neither really, I just get giddy with something new!

[Adora]

Aye, and that's on an open thread, not just the PM facility! Some days, you can moan in solitary confinement - nobody visits!

BUT....t'other forum was like a graveyard a few years back. It's gained in popularity because things were kept moving. Only one way to make that happen here as well and that's to just chat til a few lurkers get up the courage, register and join in.

Grover, Belvoir, Adamski, Dave, Netti, Ned, Lizzie, Tiredgrover, Tyra, Woodcutter and if we're really lucky - Zzippy, are all knocking about, plus us three. That's enough for a good conversation, innit? Now all we need is a really good (probably controversial) topic and we're away!

Problem is - I can't face discussing gritting, bins, immigration or travellers again and there's nowt much else happening in the Grove (that I'm aware of) just now!

The Poynton section on here is kicking - they've got Waitrose, shared space and car parking charges to get their teeth into! Hazel Grove....well, there's a street lamp gone out down our road........

Actually, that's just reminded me of summat - I shall start a new thread!

Thanks for that new thread Adora,just used the link to report a road problem.

As I said on that thread, nice to see some of the "oldies" back , thought you had all deserted us and emigrated to the "other side".

Can i assume you mean Adora , and not me


Anyway it's all going on in T'Grove, sometimes the traffic lights change from red to green , and when it's all happening on a big day in the grove they change back to red again

[Belvoir]

Well I popped in the Co op today and it was 'dead'' is there any chance of it recovering?

[Adora]

I wonder what they must do with all the food that gets wasted? Surely, with so few customers, tonnes and tonnes of the stuff must go out of date and have to be binned?

Must just big it up for a lady who works behind the post office counter within the Co-Op though - she's called Mary and she's FAB! I'm sure they're all very good at their jobs but I love it when I get served by this woman - she's red hot on Special Deliveries

Gah - I'm not old....I'm only in me prime! Well alright, I'm in me prime but I'm at the outer reaches of it but still.......

It doesn't get wasted - it ends up on the "close to sell by" sections, and I save myself £££ by going in there when there's a lot, buying it all up, and filling the freezer. Well, I'm on me pension now - conspicuous wealth's now only a memory. (More a dream, in reality!)

Always strikes me that the average age of Co-op customers looks about 78. Makes me feel quite at home (naturally!), but I wonder how many people would go in if it wasn't for the post office. The place has a rusting, forlorn, faded, weed-choked look.

And it's still in the old Co-op colours, whereas Great Moor Co-op's been tarted up in their new livery.
