Re: Possible crop marks in Landican?
granny
23rd Apr 2024 1:58pm
I was sure there was another topic on Landican, but I'm unable to find it. The search option seems to have disappeared.
Anyway, I've just unearthed a book on Domesday, and the pictures will give you the location, Latin, and English translation , so there's no need for me to say any more, apart from the fact that looking up the translation of 'Landechene' comes 'Landing' from German ! That's Interesting and maybe someone can explain more. Number 8 is nearer to Woodchurch than the present day Landican and has a Priest. (Just been gardening, hence the grubby nails :))

Re: Sunak and Reality

NHS is on its knees through underfunding, semi-privatisation and profiteering. Very long waiting lists for many treatments.
The medical community is discovering the huge amount of hidden physical and biological damage that Covid has caused, even to those that only had a mild infection.
Sunak's response? "I'm going to crack down on sicknote culture".
Nice man!

Can anyone recommend a good fencing guy? Some of mine blew down last week and most I have rung are too busy which is understandable, but just thought maybe you know of a reliable one.

Re: Traffic Wardens

We spotted a traffic warden of some sort the other day, I was with an ex-traffic warden and made a comment. iirc it was not far from Woodside. The parking control contract is handled by NSL Services and their operatives may be known as Civil Enforcement Officers. The Council has backed down from pressure that accused them of profiteering from parking hence contracted out so they don't get the blame - it is a ludicrous claim, you only get a PCN when you are probably parked incorrectly. There is a ten minute grace period on all marked parking areas. In 2023 there were 16785 PCNs issued, 2457 outstanding, 1337 (8%) successfully appealed and £506,347 received. In 2024 there were 2957 PCNs issued up to the middle of March. If you know of regular incorrect parking, inform the Council and they tell NSL who will try and include random checks there. If you know of regular obstruction, inform the Police. In the future, Wirral "should" be posting annual reports here https://www.patrol-uk.info/annual-report/?au=Metropolitan%20Borough%20of%20Wirral assuming it is not replaced by some other scheme.

Re: Lost river (Well, brook really)

There are signs that there was another stream heading towards the Bebington Station area from the Highfield Road area, basically the railway line route. Its quite common that railways followed water as it was a quick/cheap way of finding and surveying reasonably level routes.

Re: Any Decent Restaurant Open On a Mon Evening.

It's such a letdown when a place doesn't live up to expectations, especially when you're looking for something special. When I'm in a new place and need a good meal on a Monday evening, I usually steer clear of chain restaurants and opt for local spots instead. Just check out Sacramento restaurants. This city has some hidden gems when it comes to dining out. If you're still on the hunt for a decent restaurant, you might want to consider checking out The Waterboy or Canon. They're not your run-of-the-mill chain eateries. The food at these places is top-notch, and the ambiance is just right for a relaxing evening out.

Some might say they are welcome to it.
Some might say the same about Birkenhead, but then we could go on all day couldn't we ?

Well, yes he did! And I still have his stamp collection in the original album (a bit chaotic as you might expect from a young teenager). So I think you have solved this for me, thank you.
I was looking for some industrial premises with "Robinson Bros" above the door!!!
Best regards

Re: Bolts at Bebington Road
diggingdeeper
30th Mar 2024 11:44am
There's the Rightway group which have seven(?) stores in Wirral.
There are quite a few independents with a similar format to Bolts but not being part of chains you don't hear about them. New Ferry had a few, Oxton Road, Birkenhead had a few, Wallsey etc.
To be fair to Wickes their products tend to be of more reliable quality than the other large chains, their stocking has gone down the pan, in my last three visits the main item I went for was out of stock.
We are very lucky with Toolstation by Cammell Laird, that is the best run Toolstation I have come across by far, some of them are truly aweful. I tend to click and collect, don't wait for the text, I set off immediately, they always have it ready before I get there.
Screwfix has improved, used to take 20 minutes to buy something even when the shop was empty. Prices are similar to Toolstation now, they used to be dearer.
Don't even think of going to Travis Perkins unless you have trade discount.
I've never taken to Jewson's and they've usually let me down.
B&Q I use only when necessary, the days when staff used to run away when you were asking for help are still stuck in my mind and the cutting machine that was broken more often than working didn't help.
B&M are quite good but their stores are busy and you need to sharpen your elbows or get knocked for six.
Argos stock a lot of stuff, I don't bother with them these days.
