Just to continue the pub chat, The Carlton is now up for sale, and it will take a strong minded person to get it reopened. Let's hope. Nice pub

Love reading what people are watching and yes, trends have changed. European series with subtitles are now so popular with internet streaming channels. If you haven't seen it, you might want to try Spiral. 8 series on the BBC iPlayer to watch. Absolutely first class. Compares so well to best of the scandi series. Good watching. Get ready for a few late nights !!

I cannot find a domestic gardener serving the Handsworth area. I require a good prune of hedges bushes etc followed by a regular tidy. Can you please recommend a reliable person who is able to remove the greenery. Thank you

Absolute learner. Lady requires keyboard lessons preferably at home (Hands worth). Advice or recommendations please

I have stayed at the Hilton Hotel many times and it is a lovely oasis alongside the canal basin in a City Centre. The building will easily be converted into flats,which will be sold for a princely sum. However, this might be a good thing for the area. Watch this space !!

Houstead Road is also a good place to live. Normally quiet

It is at 845am. Hopefully there will be 10planes

Please can anyone recommend a reliable dog groomer. Preferably S9, S13, S20 or nearby Thank you

Hi. Can any Forum members recommend a local ceilidh band please Thanks

Dear forum readers. I hope that someone can give me good, reliable advice re some builders that are supposed to be doing some work for me. All I wanted was for a brick built porch to be dismantled and rebuilt with the proper foundations. I accepted a quote many weeks ago now, and after a long time with lots of phone calls and dates to start work, all I have is a hole in the ground and a pile of bricks. And of course some damage to the (inner) door frame !!. I cannot get a date and the excuses are busy, bad weather etc. I have not paid any money up front and at this stage it would be wrong to name the company. What would you recommend that I do ?? Many thanks for any good ideas or advice
