We are moving to Madeley Heath in about 4 weeks (from Tuscany) and I wondered if there was anyone local to this place and if they could fill me in on things to see and places to go.

We will be opening a restaurant there too so although I wont have much free time, it would be nice to meet some people for coffee.

Anyone out there????

We have now arrived in Staffordshire and the new restaurant will open next week! Have worked out where we are and I am in the library at Newcastle under Lyme.

It is so nice to be back in the UK and to do normal things again.

Let me know when we can organise a meetup somewhere.

Collision - I am from Wigan and am deeply offended by your comments about my beautiful home town!! I may just be won round by the offer of a a free years wining and dining!

Welcome back to GB and I hope all goes well for you and yours!

BTW, we Wiganers are known as 'pie eaters' becasue of our local delicacy and someone has just written a book about Wigan called "Pies and Prejuidice", which I thought was excellent!

smw9927 · 27/09/2005 23:16

Golds - I'm just off the Tixall Rd, so not too far away. We have a saeson ticket for Shugborough Park Farmif you want to meet up there - not too sure when it shuts for winter though.

Which school do your kids go to? Mine are at Leasowes.

mushypeas · 28/09/2005 13:32

Hello Collision, glad to see you got here in one piece. Where is the restaurant - is it in Madeley? And when does it open?
Just up the road - CAT me if you need any help/info/free plugs

golds · 29/09/2005 18:52

smw, my kids are too, I think I may know you, were you in the paper last week? its just that your kids ages ring a bell to me, I work at the school at lunchtimes

smw9927 · 30/09/2005 12:38

Yes - ds2 and I were in the paper after the NCT Nearly New Sale (he had his grumpy face on because the photographer was taking too long!). Not sure who you are yet - say "hello" in the playground!

marthamoo · 30/09/2005 12:57

Hi Collision, I missed this thread so I didn't know you were coming back to the UK. I don't know where Madeley Wotsit is but it can't be a million miles from me - we're Macclesfield. If we're ever in your neck of the woods I'll be popping in your pub/restaurant for my MN discount Do you do any WW food ?

golds · 30/09/2005 17:53

OK I will on Monday

diva4mgl · 20/10/2005 15:25

Wow,the Russian connection and the Staffordshire one!

moondog · 20/10/2005 15:31

Ah sorry,I've seen now. Kidsgrove!
I am imagining a glamorous trilingual Mongolian strolling round Mow Cop...what a hilarious image!!

How on earth do you understand everyone and vice versa!!

moondog · 20/10/2005 15:41

Just saying that to my dh.
When we were in Nizhny Novgorod in 98-99 and Moscow 2000-2001,it was a big thing to be going to Russia.
Now they're all over the place lol!
