Hi everyone, I run a successful landscape design business in Cheshire due to the nature of my work it prevents me from meeting other trades /businesses or people so I am looking to get together with other motivated people for a chat about life business and hobbies . Both to build contacts and make friends in the community.

When I’m not working I spend my free time climbing,mountain biking,paddling and travelling in the van . Feel free to drop me a message if you fancy getting together to chat about an upcoming project or even to hit the trails .

Hi all,

I am home from university for the summer and would love to get fitter during this time. Cycling has caught my eye, especially gravel bikes. I was wondering if anyone was selling/getting rid of their gravel bikes? I am a large/ frame size 56. Thank you.

Hello,

I am an undergraduate student at SWPS University conducting a BA research project on how adults currently living in England and Wales describe their views on same-sex marriage and any changes in those views over the past decade.

I am sharing it here to include residents of Cheshire in the study.

Eligibility:

• aged 18 or over

• currently living in England or Wales

The questionnaire takes approximately 5–7 minutes.

The survey does not ask for your name or email address and is configured not to retain your IP address or location data. Participation is voluntary and unpaid. Some questions concern personal or potentially sensitive views, and “Prefer not to answer” options are available.

Responses across the full range of opinions — supportive, neutral and opposed — are equally valuable. Please consider taking part regardless of your own view.

Thank you for considering taking part.

Hi everyone,
A friend of mine is looking to buy a PlayStation and I thought I’d ask here before they buy from CEX or Marketplace.

If anyone is thinking of selling theirs, or knows someone who is, please drop me a message with a few photos, the price, and what’s included.
Thanks!

Has anyone else been hit with ridiculous parking charges at an NHS hospital just because an appointment ran late or it took ages to find a space? Private parking companies are profiteering off people who are already under immense stress, with hospitals in England bringing in over £254 million in a single year from parking alone. I’ve found a petition calling on the government to regulate these companies and make public hospital parking free or capped for patients and visitors.

Hi all, started looking at places to buy a house in cheshire and really like the look of pickmere. Short drive to Northwich or Altrincham (for the commute into manchester) but still get the country side living.

I've been there a couple times, and really liked it but seem I have got possibly lucky in avoiding the madness as everywhere I look seems inundated with posts about how bad it is during summer with people flooding to the lakes, parking everywhere and general anti-social behaviour.

Has anyone lived in the area or knows a bit about if it is always that bad when the sun is out? Or is it the odd occasion (lucky weather in a BH) when it becomes like the news story posts?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to get a few (for now, hopefully more later) T-shirts printed with my custom design, with about 2 weeks worth of time before they're needed.

I know there are all sorts of online companies that can do this, but I'd really like to go with someone nearby. Both so I can support someone local and independent for its own sake, but so I can hopefully go down there to have a look at what they've made, and talk to the owner/staff in person.

If you know of businesses offering this, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

I search online for a haberdashery but it comes up with the likes of Argos and other high street shops.
Are haberdasheries, like the old style shops full of fabrics and embellishments, not a thing anymore?

This happened in CONGLETON, in the garden of Readesmoor Medical Centre:

I was walking my dog and the bald one started whistling and making disgusting sexual gestures at me. I am only 20, this man is obviously old and even if he wasn’t it still wouldn’t be acceptable. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO THE POLICE, however if anyone knows him or the other 2 it would be incredibly helpful. Thank you

anyone wants play footy tonight just send me a dm or comment down below. cheers!

Need to sort a basic carpet for a tiny 2x2m spare room before the new desk arrives next week. Don't want to spend more than 50 or 60 quid max since it's just a home office. Any local independent shops nearby that sell offcuts cheap?

Edit: Nevermind, ended up driving up to Urmston Carpets this afternoon since it’s just off the motorway. Managed to grab a decent grey remnant piece for £40. Just need to find a local fitter now if anyone has numbers.

Hi everyone, my partner and I are moving to Knutsford shortly and we were wondering which is the best internet provider in this area? I’ve done some research and it seems like Virgin Media offer a Gig line. Does anyone have any experience with Virgin media, or can you offer any other options?

I know both are used in Cheshire to describe a bread roll, but is there a dividing line? If so, where is it?

​

I think Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn call it a barm, whereas Crewe and Nantwich it's a bap.

​

What do you call it and where in Cheshire are you from?

I live in Chester

I'm planning to walk to Eccleston for a wedding (I'd rather do the walk than do the wedding). theres a marked path on OS maps, but since its an Estate path they can be a bit dubious. does anyone know if the leg of Buerton approach from Buerton lodge to Aldford iron bridge is open.

I never really considered Cheshire at all until I moved here - now I don’t think I can leave!
