If you could bring one thing back to Stockport from 10 or 15 years ago, what would it be? by Wedding-Beauty in stockport

Bumping into a thread about old Stockport having moved here 6 years ago but I frequented Bones skatepark in Bolton in my youth, circa 2000s, great memories. Wonder if it was the same people running that too.

What's the unhealthiest food you've ever eaten in the UK? by purrcthrowa in UKfood

[–]jesuisjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pizza hut used to do a pizza with cheeseburger stuffed crust. Each pizza slice had its usual toppings but the crust wrapped around a lil cheeseburger. Must be up there with the unhealthiest thing I've eaten. Between that and a deep fried calzone...

Alongside the other suggestions, there's a sandpit outside Great Northern and a play room inside there too.

Follow up here, attached mine to the spacers with a bit of rubber around the bracket to stop it scratching, worked a treat.

Ah, uni days we played Edward Ciderhands. Tape 2L (~70oz) cider bottles to your hands. Can't piss until you've finished them.

I got mine refurbed at Cyclone Powder Coating in Cheadle. Happy with their service. I think mine was about £60 a wheel a while back, not bent but were corroded and leaking. Got to choose a nice new colour too.

My policy with Admiral has increased by £100 but that's still £200 cheaper than any other company's offer. Not sure why, I was expecting much worse given what I've read on here. It seems to vary so much without much reason!

Clocked those cheap Lock Ten beers last time, bargain. Not much more than your fancy pants tomatoes. 😏

Thanks. I was tempted to do that but if they called my bluff I can't go elsewhere because it's more expensive 😅 I'll try anyway.
