Stoke-on-Trent is now Snog-on-Sofa

Just left Stoke-on-Trent station for London Euston, and look what I found at the station. There appeared to be some filming going on, too.








Weird, but it made me laugh!

Little's Disease goes Dancing on Ice!

A True Story:


Anyway. This morning I need to get to Manchester to get books. I got outside and it felt like I was on ice. I thought about turning around and forgetting the whole ordeal, but instead I called for a taxi.

I have Cerebral Palsy, which affects my mobility. To my extent, I have zero balance so it can get quite entertaining.

The taxi came but even though it was just a few steps away, I knew I'd have a job on my hands getting in. This proved to be the.case, as I skated my way to the car but fell, nearly ripping off the guys mirror in the process. Fun!

He was convinced I was drunk, which reminds me of a certain Josh Blue joke about the drunk tank.

"Nobody is on the road. They all gone home! Black ice!" He says in his Asian accent.

"Yeah it's like dancing on ice out there. I gotta get to Manchester. Hope I don't fall over again." I replied.

"Well I don't know you nearly broke my mirror. It's loose!"

"Im sorry" I said, nearly pissing myself laughing.

"I always tell people not to drink, I don't know." says the driver.

I nearly burst out in more laughter, but I didn't bother explaining I have Little's Disease (CP).... It seems my Stevie Wonder 'blind man' shades didn't serve as a warning either... Shame.

To make matters worse, it feels like I've wet myself. Turns out my can of relentless exploded on impact when I fell over! So I smell of energy.

I'm glad there was no one around to see it. Though it certain was worth paying to see!





EDIT: Also, after getting to University Library, I discover that my glasses are broken (again), presumably by the fall from getting into the taxi.

FUN!

Woolworths

In the news a lot lately, the financial credit crisis has affected UK retailer Woolworths forcing massive store closures.





Picture: Woolworths in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent

A sad state for a company in trading for over 100 years. I hear other Woolworths are doing ok however, but still sad to see. Apparently there's news circulating on BBC and other news outlets that Tesco or some other big company may buy out most of the failing stores.

I would post links but it's not so easy on the iPhone...

This store in particular though might be bought out by Iceland, who would be particularly interested considering the city's redevelopment scheme.
