We need You!

Posted by Oxfam Chester on June 25, 2008 11:46 AM

Oxfam Chester, Frodsham street wants to say a big thank you to all our donors and customers for the massive success of the M&S Clothing Exchange. The £5 M&S voucher incentive has increased donations and the shop is truly bursting at the ‘seams’ (pun intended) with high-quality men and ladies fashion.

I would like to appeal to the style-savvy people of Chester to help us select the very best of the donations for sale in the shop. Volunteering for just a few hours a week could make a real difference, enough to pay for a vital medical kit for a midwife in India or seeds for a year’s crop for a family in Malawi!

“Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security,� he said.

Don’t panic. There is no actual proof he is bonkers.

Americans tell us we were right all along – too late!

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on June 17, 2008 12:55 PM

IT HAS taken the Americans to tell us that a stiff upper lip is better than letting your feelings spill out.

Well, they don’t just spill, do they, feelings? When people start to get things off their chest feelings tend to spread over the floor like something the dog’s just done.
They are best stepped carefully around, other people’s feelings.

Are PM phone calls on the right lines?

Posted by Trinity Mirror Cheshire on June 10, 2008 12:32 PM

GORDON Brown has taken to telephoning people at random to show he is staying in touch and re-connecting with the electorate. I took a call.
Hello.
“Hello, may I speak with Mr or Mrs J Buckley, please.�
Mr J Buckley speaking, but I am not buying anything.
“My name is Gordon....�
Of course, it is. How are things in Mumbai? I must say your accent is very good.

Covert television cameras and spy systems hidden in bushes and trees are catching fly-tippers in Cheshire.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to TipWatch.
