Trip #2 on the Calder Valley Ale Trail

A second trip on the Calder Valley Ale Trail

A report from June's trip to Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, Hebden Bridge and Castleton. A cracking day, and as the report says, Halifax was a winner!

Calder Valley Railway Ale Trail list of pubs now up.

https://calder-vale-ale.uk/pubs.html
The list is relatively mobile friendly, has a link to the website or FaceBook page for each of the pubs on the Trail as well as a map from the station to the pub (Google Maps) and a link to the train times from each station to the next up or down the line.

Its not perfect, but it does give a relatively easy way to check when the next train is, to help you make that all important decision whether to 'stay for another' or head on to the station and the next pub.

We'll probably find out a way to put the actual next up/down train time on the page, rather than use a link, but that may need something more than just a static page.

Recommend this place for showers, taps, plumbing etc

Showers Direct Showers Direct can not be faulted for speed of response, customer service, special offer prices and reasonable fast delivery. Was looking for a new shower, had been recommended Grohe by my dad, found their special offer on the Grohe 34156 Grohtherm 1000 Thermostatic Bath/Shower Mixer and they did the bath mounting pillars (which several supposed professional plumbing outlets had never heard of!) and they even had a helpful notice about VAT Free for disabled customers. Quick e-mail on a Sunday afternoon - emailed back with price confirmation and a link to pay via PayPal or card - arrived Wednesday! Strongly recommended.

EDF Energy Supplier in meltdown?

EDF Energy seem to be struggling to do the most basic things - like sign up a new customer. Quote from a 'Ryan Millar' (fictitious person as it's a no-reply address??):

We are currently upgrading our systems to enhance our customer service; as a result we have seen higher than usual volumes within our business and this is inevitably impacting our ability to respond promptly.

Which equates to 'we tried to change things but we've f**ked up' as far as I can tell.

Can anyone explain how Virgin Media's prices work out - or is it just a case of wait & see how much is on your bill?

Cancel your subscription to Sky movies and your phone bill line rental goes up - how does that work?

Last traces of A V Roe (Avro's) to disappear

Jobs will be lost, most people will get to travel 30 miles to Blackburn to work if they want to, some old codgers will have to take their pension a little earlier than they have to to get max cash (ah diddums), but the saddest thing is that the Manchester area will lose its final link with aviation history. You'll have to find it in the MoSi.
